    New to me 1985 m1008

    im not anywhere near my truck..... about a 1000 miles from it. so i cant say i know for sure where the relay is, but if you think its miss.... could be. i think if i remember correctly there should be two round relays in the fuse block a flasher and horn..... the flasher is the top one. if that...

    New to me 1985 m1008

    Sounds like the horn relay is bad. if there is no click id look there or pull the button of the steering wheel ive had that before, gets a little corrosion or dirt in there and doesnt make a good connection.

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    yea i can agree with that but the truck is pushing more air. theres no doubt at 65 the truck will do better. it already seems better in town but i dont drive it enough to really gauge in town driving. i mainly put the over drive tranny in to do the highway. i get 15mpg at 70-75 so im happy. i...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    Ok yea i moved that back. i measured the fork on the 400 and the 4l80 to get how far back i needed to move it. it seems to move pretty free when i clime under the truck and move it by hand but when i get everything hooked up it doesn't work so good. the bar that comes off the lower link is in...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    I used the stock 6.5 tps. has anyone tried using the 6.5 cam senor for the rpm pickup? its a 3 wire hookup so id imagine it would just be a 12 volt, ground, and the signal wire. im not sure i havnt seen anything on it really. just wondering what the thoughts are. Update on my swap trans, and...

    M1008 Turbo Questions

    Yes i agree the the feed line is pressurized. The return can't be pressurized.

    M1008 Turbo Questions

    Yes the seals or lack there of.

    M1008 Turbo Questions

    Right there is pressure at the heads and threw the feed line as well but once it gets in the Turbo there's a pressure drop. If you pressurized the Turbo and the return you'll blow out the seals in the Turbo and dump oil into the intake and exhaust sides of the Turbo.you don't need alot of oil to...

    M1008 Turbo Questions

    You don't want the turbo to be part of the pressurized system. Youll blow the seals out, you need to run a drain to the oil pan.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Was on my way to the gas station to get fuel and run out at the pump. Lucky day I guess. Found the bottom of the tank, that wont happen again. Run alittle funny for about three minutes (air in lines) but was great after that.
