I haven't posted in a while. Due to "life", I have to consider selling my truck. I guess i'm looking for advice. It sucks that I have to consider selling it, but... well, life. My truck might be slightly known due to my youtube videos. I haven't made a new video in a long time but the truck is...

Anyone installed a kill secret kill switch? Thinking about doing it for peace of mind when parking outside my stomping ground. Maybe is silly, maybe not, but I'd feel better for some small trips I tossing around. Basically, is there anything I should keep in mind? Best way to tap it in or kind...

Why does all text I type get smashed into a single paragraph? I type it out with separate paragraphs, but after clicking submit, it combines everything into one paragraph. Attached a screenshot. Example: Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or...

I've got some loud pops coming from the front passenger side when steering. I just replaced drag link and tie rods. I thought for sure new tie rods would fix it, but it didn't. Any ideas what else I should check?

Batman Vs Superman - No Spoilers I don't want to spoil the movie, but there's a quick scene with a CUCV in it! I guess it's either a M1008 or M1028. I don't know anyone else that cares, so I had to post it here. ;)

While driving, after the truck should already be warmed up, the glow plug relay will click on for a few seconds, then click off. Sometimes it will click on/off repeatedly very rapidly with the voltmeter needle bouncing all over the place. I see the voltmeter dropping about 12v's which is what it...

Needing to replace some parts and I haven't been able to find them. From what I can tell, I need both tie rod ends or drag link and two other parts that look like tie rod ends that attach to the pitman. I can't find these and neither can NAPA. I'm trying to browse the CUCV parts manual, but...

I began the project thinking it was a simple leak. Replace some rubber hoses, and move on. But, after removing the intake manifold, seeing how dry the hose is and how wet the injection pump is on the throttle cable side, I'm guessing my pressure leak is coming from it. When I bought the truck...

It seems that the truck starts much quicker and possibly accelerates faster when the tank is topped off. Is this my imagination? Anyone ever experience similar?

What are your thoughts on this? I've noticed lately that the hoses that come off the back of the master cylinder are starting to show grease or oil. It looks like one goes to the power steering pump and another to the steering gear box which also looks damp. Hoses need replaced? Another issue I...

Would an alternator belt that is too tight cause lower voltage? I noticed that my volts are lower than usual. Even when driving, the volts seem lower than normal. When at idle, the volts seem to increase again which is strange to me. I'm suspecting is the driver side alternator belt maybe? The...

Anyone have suggestion for fixing a sagging door? It's not sagging too much, but it is enough that it takes a good slam to shut it.

This is a new to me. It seems when a belt is loose, the truck doesn't want to start. Lots of cranking, then when it finally starts the belt squeaks like crazy for a bit. The first time this happened a couple months ago, I couldn't believe it was a belt. Why would the belt have anything to do...

In two wheel drive, when taking off from a stop, occasionally there is what seems like a gear slipping and then metal clanging together noise. Is sounds like transfer case, but I have no idea. Also, if put the truck in reverse, keeping foot on brake, then to park, there's a grinding sound...

The M1008 has been my daily driver for months. It's been running great and seem to be getting decent mileage. Also, the truck is cool and I like driving it. This week, me and the dog have put hundreds of miles, going to the river fishing, 4x4'ing on some off road trails a bit, and literally...

The rubber flooring in my current truck is worn out and split and the insulation under parts are starting to come through. I've done a little internet searching and haven't been able to find a rubber, form fitted flooring for these trucks or even any automatic, 4x4, single cab Chevy truck. I'm...

Had some thoughts about painting the front grill, guard and bumpers flat black. Any comments about that? Is it taboo? Any suggestions on a good flat black that won't turn chalky?

Can anyone identify this strange clattery sound? It seems to be getting louder or I'm just noticing it more. You don't have to watch the whole video, but you can hear it in the video. It seems to happen upon initial acceleration. When it's in park, and I rev it up, it still clatters, but not as...

Reading the 6.2L manual and it says: -7 Quarts with filter change -Filter model AC Delco PF35 -Use ONLY SF/CD (best choice) or SF/CC (acceptable) quality oils I would think there is more than one manufacture for oil filters. Fram, Mobile1? Also, according to some other info I was reading...

Buying new tires tomorrow. After lots of searching, from what I can gather, the 285/75/16 will fit on the stock rims and springs with no lift kit. I'm crossing my fingers! I'll post pics! Is it bad to run a spare tire of a different size? Say 235/85/16? Was considering keeping one of the old...
