I'm needing another engine for my 1008. Can any of you guys maybe steer me in a dependable direction ? My 1008 is not my primary mode, but it's driven daily non-the-less. With my working hours I jus don't have time to re-build myself . I'm looking for a completely rebuilt 6.2 and possibly...

I put off doing the Doghead Starter relay mod on my cucv and this is what happened. My starter went out, no big deal, so I called up DB Electrical and ordered up a new gear reduction starter. Been wanting to upgrade anyway. Installed the new starter and on the "3rd" start the dam starter...

Hello. I've picked up a good vibration at idle in my 86 model 5/4. I've messed with the idle and all that but it's something else. Anything above idle it seems to run smooth as ever. Could it possibly be the pump and/or injector ? Thanks, Greg.

Hello. Drove my 1008 yesterday and noticed the brake pedal was really soft. It stops good, but seems to be stopping with only the front brakes. Everything is new reguarding pads, wheel cylinders,fluid, even the master cylinder and hyro-boost is new last year. Last week the pedal was very firm...

Hello. Somewhere around 1980 GM changed the thickness of the door glass in their pickups. I'm trying to order new window felt from LMC and need the felt for the "thicker" glass. The door itself came from a salvage yard 20 years ago and I can't remember what year model truck that I robbed it off...

Hello. I've got an 85' 1008 that's almost ready to drive, but I'm having trouble finding the top and bottom Radiator rubber mounts and also the top metal mounts that bolt to the core support. I've checked LMC over the weekend and didn't find what I was looking for other than rubber mounts that...

Sorry to be bringing up an old topic, but after searching I'm still no closer to the answer. A while back there was someone on here who was selling an adapter for 1008's and 1009's to be able to use the military trailer connector in the bumper and a flat connnector on the trailer. Any help...

Hello. One of my 1008's has picked up a slight burnt valve sound out the drivers side pipe. It runs fine but it smokes out that same side when you start it. Doesn't smoke at all going down the road. The startup smoke could be valve guides and seals but whats the best way to check for a burnt...

Yesterday I took off and cleaned the fuel return check valve on one of my 1008's and it didn't have the glass bead at all. The check valve was a white plastic deal with an internal spring with rubber seals on both sides of the valve. My other 1008 has the valve with the glass bead. What gives ...

I'm looking to put a set of zero rate add a leaf's to the front of my 1008 in order to move the axle a little to the front. Has anyone used a set of these? I also wondered if there would be any problem's with the adjusment sleeve on the drag link's? Seems like you'd need to trim off some of the...

I finially got around to fixing my dash light problem and as suspected it was only connection problems. I wonder why ,after all these years, someone hasn't came up with a dash light LED conversion for the 80's model of chevy trucks. Or maybe someone has and I don't know about it. Cooler...

Bought a new fuel filter block from a guy on ebaymotors for my 1008 and when it got here it didn't have the fuel pressure sensor. I happen to have a few new ones so no big deal. Or so I thought. The new filter block I bought has a smaller diameter place to mount the sensor and therefor my...

Was digging around under the seat of my latest 1008 and found this speaker. It's super heavy for it's size and the magnet is encased in aluminum. Anyone know what it was used for ? Prbly some type of radio I guess.

Dam the luck. Yesterday I let a friend borrow one of my 1008's to haul wood to our camp site and he brought it back with the glass shattered out of the drivers window. The vent window is fine. I've got a good spare door with the glass intact but the paint is different. How hard is it to...
