I just registered mine today in IL... it was registered as a chevy m1008 and they let me transfer my regular b-truck plates from an f150 i recently parted with.....
No issues so far... now I just need some insurance.
I or the last GPR that fried took out the GP system so I will be doing a push button bypass to manually enact the plugs....
It did start up today, a little rougher than before but nonetheless it started up and ran strong again, lending all the more evidence that the GP system is fried, now to...
Thanks guys, I am printing the GP's info out of the TM (I saved it on my work computer). I will dump a little fuel down the intake after I check the GP's and then if she don't run I will just mist a little ether across the intake.... (I have started old international tractors at -30 with it...
My m1008 was delivered a week ago today... it was a busy week so I let it sit until this Saturday and gathered up the parts suggested to fix the GPR that was missing and wire for the fused links etc.... Anyway, when I got some batteries in it and was preparing to replace the fused links and GPR...
So i was in the process of installing my GPR and see that these wires are TOAST!
What is this? It seems like it has happened before as the battery has a splice just before the refry.
What does this part do - could it have burnt up when the GPR went out?
Yea I understand that... My ultimate goal is to get 20, as I plan to use this partly as a camping vehicle with a truck camper slid in the bed and my aluminum boat dragging behind. I ideally want to reach highway speed at or before 2200 rpm.

Will this solenoid work... The Napa's close by here don't have them in stock...
Can I just use the same relay that is used for the Doghead Starter Relay mod and keep a spare around and that way I can replace either that might go out?
Potential Speed Calculator
I have been using this site to find out the different potential speeds a different setup would be good for.
Thanks for the link Warthog... I have been reading that and old posts for about 4-5 months, I really need discussion to think things over - Thanks Guys
Yea, I definitely know that I have the more in demand gears and hope to find an easy swap at someone else s expense.
My main objective is to optimize fuel economy, and if I could I wouldn't mind keeping stock tire size to just to keep cost down and I can get better mileage out of a stock sized...
Yea, I have a pretty good understanding of the electrical.
I am planning on checking all the fluids...
I am really most wondering if there is anything that isn't as obvious that I probably wouldn't think of.
My EUC cleared and I found a transport for $50 more than I would have spent recovering myself and my M1008 is in the driveway....
I am going to turn it into my camper rig. I got a good deal on a truck camper, but it won't fit on my F150 soooo, I bought an 08 to haul it around. I plan to either...
