    Starter motor "bracket"

    Ahhh Another man who knows of the Snap on reverse bits.. Saved my a$$. I would like to reitierate that my belief is if you have been running without a rear bracket, change the starter bolts anyway. No telling how close to breaking they could be. Cheap insurance IMHO. Getting a brkon bolt out...

    What's 24v and what's 12v

    the controller ? Is 12v going to the glows or are they 12v glows being hit with 24v ? I have a set of ac delco 60gs from one of my 6.5s . I was going to use them in this truck. Also one of the mechanics at the fleet maint where the truck came from "thinks" someone may have put a 12v starter in a...

    What's 24v and what's 12v

    I was told the Humvees have 24v glows and the M1008 has 12v ? I guess I'm wondering around my CUCV tomorrow with a VM.

    when the stuff "was" available from GM, it was "paint to match" You never knew what color it would be when it came in.

    What's 24v and what's 12v

    OK. I read the ENTIRE faqs, and other than a vague reference in the Wiki, I still am not sure. I have what i believe to be an M1008. I was told that ONLY the starter is 24v and that the glows, lights, ESO are all 12v. But the Wiki said the blackouts and glows were 24v ??? Can we clairy what...

    Just got in some M1008's and M1028"s

    Damn I guess I got a deal on mine. I think it's an M1008. I'm not sure how to tell otherwise but I paid 1600$ for it at a municipal auction. It was babied and fleet maintained it's whole life.

    Starter motor "bracket"

    Not having them usually results in either broken starter bolts or cracked block where starter bolts. Get them on ASAP. In fact my recommendation to people who find them missing is to replace the starter bolts as well since they could be stressed. Trust me , getting broken ones out is no fun.

    Got a turbo! Now the hard part.

    it's gravity drain so oil pan is the way to go but really a lift pump isn't that much. can get a Walbro for around 90$. Heck might even find a used 6.5 one cheaper from someone who upgraded thiers. I don't personally care for the mechnical ones.

    Got a turbo! Now the hard part.

    I'm hoping the bodylift I'm putting in will ease that but it can be done.
