Guys put a manual switch for the glow plugs on when their glow plug controller card goes bad. Instead of auto glow plug operation with the card it becomes manual with a switch and your finger tip. Do a search it has been well documented and easy to do.

NH, The trans is slipping bad and the oil is burnt. The rad was half full so I'm thinking the trans cooler wasn't doing much cooling. The engine may have gotten hot but not fried like the trans. It seems to run as usual. I'll know more when I get the truck running again. I'll probably put the...

Thanks Bill for that info. I do have a turbo 350 with a broken case that came out of a 77 chevy 4x4. If the spline count works would that be a swap possibility to make it work? Thanks again, Greg

That was one of the things I was worried about. I was hoping it was adaptable without dismantling it too far.

I'll be looking at a 2wd 700r4 for sale. It is in a 91 1500 6.2 the engine is bad. Will the 2wd 700r4 be a good swap into a m1009? Does anyone know what the spline count is on this trans. Can the tailshaft housing be changed? Will I need to look for a different TC? My daughter fried her turbo...

If its rusted, I like it when it twists off. When I took off my rear bumper most of them squawked all the way off. I should have used a torch.

I have heard that you shouldn't run more than 1/3 off one leg.

I would order those bolts in the softest grade. I just removed a bumper and it was a PITA. I wish they would have twisted off. If somebody hits you back there the bolts won't make a difference anyway.

Use the belt that is correct for your application for sure. The belt #'s are posted all over this site. I was amazed at how worn out my pulley was. I'm checking the pulley whenever I have to replace a belt.2cents

The problem I ran into was my pulley was worn out from slipping belts. I tried tightening it, but all it would do is squeal after startup no matter how tight it got. I stretched out belts and ruined an alt bearing before I replaced the pulley. That cured it. With the belt on the pulley its hard...

Has anyone used an AC radiator as a trans cooler? It would be a really large cooler. Can you cool too much? If one of these was used should it be turned off in winter or when your not towing? How much pressure does the transmission pump thru the stock cooler lines? I saw that the lines are a...

I'll check with a driveline service to see what that runs. I see trucks being parted out all the time so I thought I'd see if there was a compatible swap. Thanks

Mine has forklift damage, hence the bent driveline. I thought it might be cheaper to find a good used one. Finding a good straight one and putting new on it would probably save also. Thanks

Are the M1008 and M1031 drivelines the same length? I know they have different transfer cases. I would guess that the u-joints are the same. Are there any civilian vehicles that have the same length of driveshaft even if the u-joints are different? Thanks

Yes, inside the case. Remove the oil fill neck and you can see the 3 bolts and pin. I moved the timing back so the marks line up and it seems to run even better. Thats where I'll leave it. I'm betting that the guys living with a slightly rough idle that cleans up and runs smooth when they give...

He might be calculating that 30mpg on the diesel he has to buy, and not the WMO. Just a guess cause 30 is about 33% higher than the norm.

Glad you had a good inspection. I'm surprised that grabby brakes are normal. Its odd that I haven't experienced it. It may be that I back down a 300' driveway or I use my truck everyday. I do know I use my brakes less than most people. I have a 79 ford pickup, I bought new that still has the...

I have a truck I'd sell too, I didn't have a EUC on it. I do not know what is required to get it overseas. If the buyer has the paperwork and I have the payment. I'd deliver it to the closest port. The thing to watch out for is all the scams. For awhile there somebody was finding money in Iraq...

With the rubber grommet out you can see in there pretty good. I just didn't realize there are 2 holes in there that are 180* apart. All the holes line up with the pin in the wrong hole also but one bolt won't fit. Looks like it should, but with the pin in the slotted hole, (which is the only...

So far, I've only gone about 7 or 8 miles, but it runs fine and idles nice. I'm alittle worried I may have advanced it too much. Is there any symptom that points to this? I don't feel a lack of power, but no seat of the pants power gains either with in town driving. I also drilled 3 large holes...
