    Probability of frozen engine that cranked then ground flywheel?

    Hey, finally got a chance to look at it again (sorry, rain + too many projects). The cooler lines are in rough shape to begin with and not ran well. I did get them loose, but a kink appears cracked on inspection, so I have another project... The flywheel moves smooth to me, so I think all I...

    Probability of frozen engine that cranked then ground flywheel?

    OK, the starter did pop off the rear bracket. It appears to be missing the nut, etc. I pulled the starter, it looks fairly generic DL8402S, no shims: The teeth look fine: As does the flywheel: (I removed the torque converter cover to inspect it, but the transmission cooling lines limited...

    Probability of frozen engine that cranked then ground flywheel?

    Thanks for the tips. I bought it as a 12V conversion. I'll pull the starter when I have a chance to grab a flywheel turner tomorrow. The starter was replaced with whatever autozone gave me for an 84 K30 a few years ago (it was dead in in a parking lot) and I have drove it maybe a dozen times...

    Probability of frozen engine that cranked then ground flywheel?

    Hi, it has been over a year since I took my truck out. So I charged the battery up and checked to see if it would crank. It turned over maybe once and then started grinding starter/flywheel teeth. I am going to pull the starter and try to fix that, but could the engine be locked up if it did...

    rear axle shaft won't go back in

    I am having serious problems getting the rear axle shaft back in. Are there any tricks on the m1008? It looks to me like it is getting caught on the inner seal as it is just hitting something 6" or so out. Thanks!

    Water base CARC

    I found a link to info on the harbor freight gun and tip ordering info: HVLP Spray Gun Setup Hope it helps. Not that it is hard to find since it is near the top on google. I was looking for a review the other day to decide on a gun setup and found this.

    fried battery cable, holy c***p!

    Check the cable runs themselves. When I got my truck I had a similar issue where the starter cable rubbed and grounded to the frame. It melted a ground terminal and fried the alternator.

    What is this on the floor board passenger side

    Hi, I am finally getting to cleaning up my floor boards. My M1008 has passed through a couple of hands and had multiple floor mats and pieces covering up some rust and this thing. I was wondering what it was and if I should remove it. I know it is a bracket of some sort from the manual...
