    m1028/700r4 swap

    I did the GV overdrive unit behind the 400. Just curious, what was you all's total cost to do the 700?

    M1008 Turn Signal Switch Alternative

    Keep reading, the question is not what you'd think...maybe. The electrics are working fine. When I first bought my rig, the switch broke on the first trip when I felt a snap and the arm went limp. I followed all the right steps and discovered that the column switch was just fine. What broke was...

    Gear vendors and drive train loading

    Yeah, don't get me wrong, I envy the guy who can tear apart a transmission and rebuild it perfectly with a 6 pack in them. And then turn around and weld up cross members and such. And I'd love to learn. But I just don't have the time to invest to get there.....yet. When I do, my position might...

    Gear vendors and drive train loading

    bshupe, I just had the GV installed in my 1008. Combined with a new vac modulator, there is an incredible difference. Took my second trip out today and did it on the highway (first trip was back roads and "normal" speeds). I was very surprised and happy. I looked down at one point realizing I...

    Gear Vendors Overdrive it is

    Just ordered mine. I hadn't seen this thread until now when researching for the drive shaft. I'm debating on whether to have a trans shop do the install. I want to have the trans freshened up anyway, so it only made to sense to have them do it. But that's another 500 bones. Trans guy has...

    Hacked wiring M1008

    Doghead, I'm leaning in your direction. I plan to do an electric pump swap in the near future. Maybe that will solve it. As for right now, I'm in serach of a way to get this plug out. So I'll be site: searching this evening. I replaced the controller card with antennaclimber's, it seemed to...

    Hacked wiring M1008

    I have new AC 60s to put in. The PO already replaced with 60s (7 out of 8) and replaced 7 of the 8 connectors with female spades. I discovered one Wellman still in there. It doesn't want to come out though. As far as hold time, I'm up to aout 30 seconds and it still struggels to start.

    Hacked wiring M1008

    Oops, Sorry Warthog. I replied without refreshing. So what you're saying is I can do away with this all together. Ok. Then the 10.5v makes since. I thought this is why I'm not getting warm plugs. I'll replace the plugs and check back.

    Hacked wiring M1008

    A fellow CUCV'er was over and noticed that the RED POS. cable from the right side of the resistor had been cut and terminated to the 12v block on the firewall (just right of the resistor). When the GP's are cycled (I put in a push button on the dash) I only get 10.5v at the GP's and at the lug...

    MOD Showcase

    Yeah. Not trying to be lazy, but I was really looking for something a little more detailed. Not so much a simple showcase with a picture and "4 lift on 33's," more of detailed descriptions of each build. Products/specs that work and those that didn't. And some difficulties they discovered...

    MOD Showcase

    As I'm researching the next steps for the 1008 (tires, rims, & lift), I've been trying to filter through the thousands of threads to find pertinent info for my build. Then I came up with an idea. Show me your rigs! Post up some pictures of your completed project with a short description of what...

    Reduction of forum sections

    Not sure what type of BB software you're using, I've been out of the IT game for a while, but what about additional subsections within each category? I was actually just searching this section before posting my suggestion, but it seems this is a good place to ask. Specifically I was thinking...
