    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    I don't think I've ever done a pump where that shaft didn't fall down into the cover pocket. I always pop it out and cover it in grease. I hope it did stay up, though, because you probably bent the pump bolting it together. Thing is you'd really have to ramajammit in with the block bolts...that...

    Starter's bracket - M1008 '85

    I guess it could be a pain finding standard threaded rod over there. I can get it at any farm store or parts store here in us...I'm not sure how you'll get around that since you need that bolt to hold the starter on. I see you're thinking about welding a bolt to the end...if you can weld really...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    I got the answer to getting that steel line on...don't tighten the pump to the block...just start the bolts and start the steel line at the same time...get it screwed on almost all the way then tighten the bolts to the block. If need be I think there's a stud that holds the steel line tight to...

    Dark Seas M1008 Project

    These dorman ones are viton. Used them many times. You'll still need the end caps though...2 of them one for each side. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Starter's bracket - M1008 '85

    It looks like the bolt you're pointing at is incorrect. It needs to have a stud sticking out of the end to bolt the bracket to. It could be that someone swapped it out not knowing it has to be there. All diesel starters have it stock, even aftermarket ones. I'm not sure where you're at but some...

    Starting Issues

    Sounds like you got a sweet truck! I have small 24-volt solar on mine to keep the batteries charged up. Having a wire get hot when you put it under load can be frustrating. Think of the 24 volt starter power as a circle. You have the batteries and the one cable that hooks them together...then...

    CUCV steering column removal

    Did the wiper switch arm just pop off? It just pulls out there's not much that holds it in place but friction. If the lever just flops around then there's a screw to a bracket that probably worked loose and needs tightened...thats pretty common. Just pop the wheel off and see if it's just a few...

    CUCV steering column removal

    Not sure what you'd need. If everything works in the one you're taking out, it'll work in the one you're putting it in. If you haven't taken a column apart, do it with the old one first just so you can mess it up and learn. I replace the turn signal switches in mine when I have them out since...

    Not quite a generator, but my 803 is part of it soon...

    Wow I didn't know you could charge batteries with that much power. Definitely do the big load for a short time than a low one for a long time. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Water pump replacement

    Yeah you got the serpentine belt reverse flow water pump. That won't work. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Out of curiosity do you need a 803 or would a 802 be enough? Gotta load them up pretty good to get the engines hot. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Water pump replacement

    Show the back of the pump...impeller side. You could have gotten a reverse serpentine belt pump. Hmmv used a serpentine belt not v belts and the pump was different. The catalog might say it fits but it won't. I've used a flow cooler water pumps on mine. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Hissing noise coming from powersteering or hydroboost

    Yes that will work good getting the air out Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Hissing noise coming from powersteering or hydroboost

    I use dexron 3 a bunch too...there is specific power steering fluid that is thicker that might take more abuse for the bigger tires. But if it's making noise now it might not do anything.

    Hissing noise coming from powersteering or hydroboost

    Tough call with tires that big. Pump could've been on the way out then a touch of air from the new line pushed it over the edge. Possibly try some good hydraulic fluid change? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Hissing noise coming from powersteering or hydroboost

    Does it make the noise if you move a little forward while turning? Pumps aren't the highest output stock. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Hissing noise coming from powersteering or hydroboost

    From what I can hear, it does sound like the pump is struggling. Could be air, or there's to much load on it from turning the tires without moving forward at the same time. Not sure the width of tire or type, but some can have pretty good grab sitting on pavement. If you have air in the system...

    Switch not working

    Trucks are that simple. You might want to check the 24 volt relay under the dash. Those like to go bad. You can jump the starter at that relay too. Just use a decent size wire...and yes if you unplug the ip power it will shut off. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
