Always check your grounds too. Probably not your problem with the smoke from the starter area. 24 volt, right?

If I use a mechanic I always leave the TM for the job he is doing in the front seat for a reference if needed. They always look at them.

Noise is bad IMHO. My M1008 never makes a noise when I start. I hope you got it done. [thumbzup] EDIT- If it comes back I would be thinking about a bad crank. I hope not.

http://www.delcoremy.com/Documents/Starter-Service-Manuals/NO-SHIM-DRIVE-HOUSING-DESIGN.aspx Do you have the brace and bracket #2 and #4 in the picture? Is your flexplate in good condition? The space between the starter and flexplate should determine if you need shims and I am reading on...

Just a minute here. I bought a Power Strike Starter from cncelectrical.com and have had zero problems for almost a year now. They cost a little more, but worth it in my book. You can find them on EBAY too. If you buy a new starter make sure you get the gear reduction bracket and new...

My understanding about the neutral safety switch is some vehicles will start without one and some will not. Mine starts with it removed. It also controls your backup lights, so you need it working. I learned all this on this forum. That is why doghead strongly encourages us to keep the...

I already have the solargizer and so far no problems. I used the original speakers and they sound decent. I only wanted some music, so I am not concerned about better sound at the moment. I did spray the speakers with electronic cleaner awhile back and they sound better. Maybe some day in...

Even though sometimes he comes off strong, doghead is the best hope for help. I wish to tread lightly here... It looks like you have a ST553 relay (the parts stores call this a starter solenoid or relay and it is used under the hood in the CUCV for the gp relay. Also the S603 does the same...

My truck is a M1008. I would go by measurements, but your mirror is probably the same size. The mirror came with 3M tape and it hasn't come loose yet. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/85443-m1008-side-mirror.html

I finally got my radio installed. I decide to put the aux fuse panel under the hood so that it is easier to get to. The radio does all I expected. The Tune Trapper Antenna does not perform as well and I will be replacing it after some research. I made a new accessory hole in the fire wall...

I would get my multimeter and check my batteries. Make sure the grounds are clean and on tight. It seems these vehicles must have a good ground or they won't start. Then start searching troubleshooting in the TM's while I was waiting for an answer. TM 9-2320-289-20 Pages 2-39 Starting...

We are not going to get rid of China anytime soon. I am thinking we need to keep notifying the parts suppliers and demand the quality we expect. Tell them every time we buy a bad part and make our voices be heard. I say this because remember the crap Japan used to send to us. Now their...

I went out and started my M1008. Before starting the voltmeter is in the yellow and does not move until the truck starts. Just turning the key does not move the voltmeter either. After cranking the engine the indicator needle drops slightly and then moves to green after several seconds. I...

With the gp resistor bypass I no longer get a click when my wait light is on, nothing, no click chatter or anything. I do get a short buzz when my voltmeter moves from yellow to green shortly after I start my M1008. I have done the doghead mod and gp resistor bypass too removing the resistor...

I think he means these connections and make sure none of them are touching the each other too. My relay no longer makes a sound when starting my M1008. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/cucv/215203d1237736860-doghead-starter-relay-modifcation-starterrelaywiring.jpg...

I used 8 since the wire from the battery is 8. I put mine on the same side the battery power comes from. It does not matter. I use the other side for accessories I add.

I thought blinking means it is not working right? Mine is solid when working and that is all I have to go by. I also found they are not making our model anymore and the new ones are more expensive as they are chargers too. EDIT- The above post is right.

I downloaded and watched your videos. Most of the original equipment is still there, but modified. If you have the gear reduction starter you can get the bracket at the GM parts store or off the internet. There is also a brace that goes above the starter. Something to watch for. If you...

You need to fix your truck in project sections. Trans housing and starter issues to get running because you were running before. Then go after the electrical issues. If you succeed you will have a intimate relationship (understanding) with your truck when your done.

Try and find someone with a CUCV and compare. I doubt the dealer will know what to do. Whoever hacked your truck had no clue what he was doing. You have so many problems I don't know what else to tell you. Good luck with your projects.
