Per the manual the front and center diff's take 6.5 qts but the rear only 5.5 qts. The center and rear axle look the same. Is it a misprint or does the rear axle take less oil?

I'm getting ready to change the engine and diff oil in my DUKW. The book calls for straight 30 in the engine and 90 weight in the diffs. Any harm or is it a good thing to use 15/40 engine oil and 85/140 in the differentials?

My transfer case is leaking a bit. The seal number in the book is GM-3659542 and the complete transfer case seal and gasket kit is GM-2151667. I've found these at one of the MV dealers but would like to get them locally if possible. Does anyone have a cross or know if these numbers will work...

I type this from a Public Library in Salida Colorado. Went up to Independence Pass Tuesday. The drive was terrifying for a flatlander with steep dropoffs and no guard rails. The pass is over 12,000 ft. Had a "pleasant" time at the top, no one had any O2 to spare. Why do I mention this on...

Hagerty sent me a notice they will not be renewing my DUKW insurance as it is not stored in a fully enclosed building. They said all military vehicles in FL have to be stored in a fully enclosed building. Who else can I get insurance thru? They are renewing my marine insurance, they said it...

I'm trying to time my 270 in the DUKW. The TM9-802, pg. 201 #C, says to lower the rpm to 350 so the centrifugal advance hasn't kicked in, and align the ball on the flywheel with the needle. The ball is set at 5 BTDC. The power plant manual TM9-1802A, pg. 238 section 130/B/5, says to have the...

I've got a set of ring mount legs that I know have been cut down. Does anyone know the original length of these legs?

I got in a seat cover from LMC for the bench seat in my 1008. It's one piece and doesn't fit worth a darn. Your supposed to use rope all the way around and tie them off onto, something. Says you can install it without removing the seat but that isn't possible. It's going back. Are there any...

Went for my first longer drive yesterday, about 40 miles. With the gage between 3/4 and full this 1008 took 7.5 gallons. Book says it's a 20 gallon tank. Is this normal for these gages? Also, do you fill it until it starts to back up in the filler neck? That's a big filler pipe. And what...

The little fluorescent needle that tells you what gear you are in wasn't working. I took it out and cleaned it so it moves back and forth freely in it's bracket.. I put it back in and the metal clip back on the steering column. The cable is off the end of this column, rather than riding on...

Noticed my power steering pump vibrating badly. Found only one loose bolt holding it to it's bracket. The second bolt was sheared off and there was no bolt in the third hole. Bottom bracket was also very loose. Yikes!... All the bolts that hold the pump in and it's bracket to the engine are...

Finally figured out why the horn doesn't work. 1) Toggle must be in up position 2) Must have good relay 3) Spring is missing behind horn button...I used a jumper wire between the hot terminal and terminal 2 where relay plugs in, horn works. Jumped between hot terminal and terminal 3 and got...

I've been trouble shooting the horn not working on this 1008 since I got it. Took a while to figure out the Service Light toggle has to be on, pays to read the manuals. I'm to the point now if I jump a wire between two of the terminals where the relay plugs in the horn works. I've got a new...

The light on the dash that shows your in 4WD isn't working. I pulled the plug off the sending unit on top of the transfer case and used a jumper wire between the 2 terminals. The light came on. I'm "assuming" it's a bad sending unit. If the transfer case were low on oil would that keep the...

My heater core just started leaking. Fluid on passengers side floor and under vehicle. I've read all the threads about aluminum vs copper and not sealing to the box...Does fluid circulate thru core at all times? I'd like to let this go for a little while and work on other things that need...

I've been thru the 34P several times. Can anyone tell me the part number for the Gen 2 relay under the dash? Gen 2 wasn't working when I got this but then miraculously came on. I've already replaced the glow plug relay after a 20 second wait light and am going to get a starter relay today...

My new to me 1008 wouldn't start yesterday. I had completely pressure cleaned the underside and "assumed" this had something to do with it. The starter relay was hanging down from the dash when this arrived. After reading many threads and the manuals I started with this relay. I held the...

My maroon/burgundy plastic door panels have a lot of wear and are faded. What paint and color is every body using to restore them. I've looked at Duplicolor and Krylon Fusion.

I've got some manuals in and am reading them, I promise. Also did a search. TOO many results...My Gen 1 light doesn't work. I tried swapping bulbs with Gen 2, which works, same results. Gen 1 is working, I've got 14 volts at battery, just no dash light when key is turned to run position. Any...
