I picked up a set of group 31 batteries today and set them in the trays and they look pretty close to the underside of the hood. I figure I had better ask to see if someone had them in their truck before closing the hood on them.

I'm trying to buy a utility bed for the 1008 I bought a while back I found a good one in Albertsville and wondered if anyone was close enough to give it a look over. I found it on craigslist and am a little uneasy about paying someone for something I have not seen except in pictures and sending...

My high idle on the 1009 does not kick down even when warm I have it disconnected until I figure what is wrong with it. The plunger seems to stick you can manually push it back in when the truck is warm is there a way to lube them up or should I be looking for a replacement?

Does anyone have a PN or source for the oil fill tube grommet I had to change out the IP on this 1008 I just got and they had it siliconed in because they ripped the back flange off of it.

I was going through the search to see if any of the threads covered the generator 1 light issue occurring with the 1009 and none quite matched up. As its gotten colder when I start the truck the gen 1 light lights up when I hit the accelerator the charge gauge jumps up into the green but the...

I bought a pretty nice 1008 from a NC municipality a while ago it finally made it here this week. They had converted or tried to convert it to 12 volt and its a mess. I had done a few of the Roscommon conversions over the years but you have to use the P/S alternator and remove the D/S side one...

I have another issue with the 1009 its leaking a lot of coolant from the back of the engine inside the trans bell housing. I assume the only thing it could possibly be is a rusted freeze plug. I was wondering if anyone had replaced the rear freeze plug while the engine was still in the truck. I...

I have a 1009 with an engine losing coolant and seems to be getting into the crankcase. The engine has a lot of blowby which could be caused by the coolant leaking into the crankcase I drained the excess oil out while it was warm and it had a lot of steam coming off it as well. The oil has a...

I needed to take the leaky IP off the 1009 and replace it so I found a new one on GL for a CUCV and got it for a great price. I put it in the truck and cranked and cranked and no fuel to the injectors. The fuel has plenty of pressure coming into the pump from the filter and has fuel in the top...
