My neighbor came across an SM465 with a Doug Nash overdrive unit on it. It came out of a 1979 two wheel drive, Chevy 1 ton truck. I've read on here about the SM465 as an alternate transmission to the Turbo 400 and I had a Chevy 4x4 with the SM465 in it and loved it. I would have to attach a...

I've replaced my rear engine seal, but the engine has been drained of oil for about 4 months. I'm ready to start the engine any day now, but I'd like to prime the engine with engine oil before cranking and cranking and cranking. Does anyone know of a recommended way to prime it other than...

I'm replacing the rear main seal in my M1008. I found information on it and I'm at the point of putting the main bearing cap back on, but I have a question on this procedure. On the Fel-Pro instructions, it states "apply RTV sealer to the outside edges of the cap recess in the block". I don't...

I'm looking for the rubber elbows that are on the tubing connecting the CDR valve to the intake manifold. Does anyone know what works? I think they are more than 90 degrees and trying any type of hose not formed like that just kinks. Thanks

Can someone tell me what's the name and number of this green color? I would like to use the same color to repaint it and thought it could be Woodland Green 34094, then maybe Olive Drab 34088 or 34087. No, maybe Dark Green 34102 or Forest Green 34079. Thank you.

I called Banks a few weeks back to get info for a future turbo install and found out that at the end of this month, they are not going to sell the Sidewinder turbo kit for the 6.2 diesels anymore. I confirmed with more than one Banks tech, just to make sure they weren't getting me to move on...

I just have a question about the glow plug problems with these CUCV's. With the problems I've read about on this site, has anyone tried to use parts from a civi 6.2 diesel, such as the glow plug card and relay? The other one I'm trying to figure out is why is it frowned upon converting to 12...

I have a M1008. I'm new to the MV stuff, but I'm excited to work on it. I noticed I have some oil dripping and it looks like the rear main seal is leaking. Is this common on these 6.2 diesels? If it is the seal, is the repair possible without pulling the engine? I'm trying to get up to speed...

I just took delivery on my M1008. The engine sounds good from the front of the vehicle, but I notice that when in the cab, a ticking noise is heard and it speeds up with the engine RPM's. I'm mechanically inclined and knowledgable about diesel engines. I'm learning about these 6.2 diesels and...
