    Dead short glow plugs

    I'm not sure how many amp the GP draw but my guess is more than 30. Try unplugging all GP and see what happens, if the fuse still blows then you know you have a dead short. I'm no electrical expert but I believe you would need some kind of slow-blow fuse (if even made for 12v) or a fusible link.

    My M1009 has died new curve ball thrown Updated

    I'm thinking restriction in the fuel supply, I'd start with a new filter and think hard about that fuel sock in the tank. But before dropping the tank I'd run a line from the pick up side of the lift pump to a container of clean fresh fuel and see what happens, if it runs good and stays running...

    700R4 Transmissions Swap and Gearing Questions for M1008

    I kept the 4;56 gears and added a 700R4 within the first year and never looked back! I did have the tranny gone thru and added a corvette servo and a 0.5" TV (?) valve along with the hydraulic lock up on the converter and tires in the 31-32" range can 'comfortably' run 70MPH If you can stand the...

    CUCV M1008 wobbling. Help needed

    No, it hides the problem until the problem (lets say loose tie rod ends) are so bad that it not only becomes a safety issue but also causes your shimmy shock and other parts to wear out. Do it once and do it right.

    Please don't get me started on the behind the counter morons! I knew they didn't know much and that was confirmed when one told me I could only go up one spark plug heat range at a time because the engine had to get used to it! yeah right.

    Windshield wiper arm

    Yes, that little button(?) is the release for the arm, there is a tool available for it but doubt you will find it anywhere other than a tool truck possibly not even there. Not to worry, place a plastic body filler spreader (or something similar) on the panel and use a flat tip screw driver to...

    Inner fender wells

    Save the reinforcements from the underside of the old panels and install them on the newer ones, you will have to drill a few holes for the battery trays.

    Never ending front brake problems

    Don't over think this! If you are opening the bleeders and the calipers don't release, then it's got to be the calipers. There is no spring inside the calipers, the only thing that draws the piston back is the lack of pressure hyd. pushing it out (vacuum?)

    Worn Flexplate

    Make sure you order the one for a 1984 NOT the model year your truck is! You want one of the top two pictured, the third pic is of a flywheel but yet they are calling it a flexplate , possible wrong image as they are quite a bit more $$

    Never ending front brake problems

    Sounds stupid, but are you sure the calipers are sticking? I haven't had a rotor turned in years and never measured runout but could that be the problem? Remember the piston only moves back a few thousands when pressure is released, if the rotor is rough or has essive runout then it's possible...
