    M880 Electrical Problem?

    The firewall mounted electronic device is the voltage regulator for the alternator. The fender mounted device is the ignition module. I have seen many of these where the substance inside (potting) has run out sitting on a shelf, so that does not mean they have overheated, just gotten old...

    Rear thumping turned into a chain rattling noise

    Drain the oil from the transfer case and rear differential and see which one has chunks of metal coming out of the drain hole. Then you will know.

    Wow, did your truck suffer any damage like a scratch on the bumperette or a cracked tail light lens? Yup, sudden acceleration in an 809 has to be an unusual sensation.

    M1078 electrical system

    Plenty of both battery and alternator capacity for those items. Get 12 volt power for the cab mounted items from the power pad to the left of the relays on the PDP in the cab.

    M998 fuses ? circuit breaker ?

    Fold your windshield over and clean or bypass the contacts.

    The only circuit breaker is for lighting only and it is inside the three lever switch Edit: incorrect, see below post

    Terrifying front end shake on XM211

    Welcome to the forum. Probably best you park the truck and put the front axle up on jack stands. Next, inspect for loose wheel bearings, worn out tie rod ends, and disintegrated knuckle bearings.

    Axles and Transfercases...New guy here!

    I say yes. The GM transfer case is unique in that the front and rear outputs spin in opposite directions.

    Axles and Transfercases...New guy here!

    If your 302 has a clutch and Clark transmission, it is most likely from a GMC truck from the WWII era called the CCKW. Try "vehiclesofvictory.com".

    High Speed Gears vs. Detroit-style Locker ... difficult decisions to be made

    My two cents: If you have your high speed 3rd members laying on the bench, what better time to drop in the locker?

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    Sweet! No surprise that GEP parts did not know about the vendor change on the blocks. Parts is way down on the manufacturing food chain. I'm in assembly and even then purchasing forgets to tell us they switched vendors. We usually find out when the line goes down because something no longer...

    High Beams/low beams

    I would swap the 17 and 18 wire at the headlights. The highbeam indicator will still be sync'ed with the wrong filaments if you just swap the dimmer wires.

    DUKW-Need Seal Cross Reference

    Get a caliper. Measure the diameter of the yoke sealing surface, and the inner diameter of the retainer where the seal presses into. With this info, go to your local bearing supply house. The 70 year old GM seals are leather which is fine, but that is a bit old technology. Nice DUKW!
