Well I did the manual test 2002ford suggested, it works, its just a really soft transition from 2nd-3rd gear. I've also noticed since the new CDR valve has been installed the oil leaks have diminished greatly so far.
Looks like Gen 2 is working normally, voltmeter is still dead for the moment but Im going to follow the advice of cpf40 (I think I got the screen name right) and disconnect the batteries, disconnect and remove the voltmeter and rig up a couple jumper wires to connect the voltmeter to the...
I'll definitely have to consider that. I'm also looking into trying to track down a M101A2 as well. Basically something for me to haul an extra ATV around and do a few things my utility trailer won't or can't. Anyways today I got the pintle hitch back in action, greased it really well at the...
I talked to my friend cat today (her M1008 is something to seriously drool over... once it gets out of the shop) and she talked me through a few things. Also some gracious members here have been PM'ing me some great tips, tricks, and information. I'm getting spooled up to do the king pins, I've...
Everytime I call you I end up with something... I have to time it when you dont have anything in the classifieds like that really nice looking M1101 trailer. :drool: which would look great behind it this truck...
Replaced the vacuum lines as best as I could, I ended up having to use fuel line of three different sizes. The vacuum hose connector at the top of the vacuum hose regulator had to be removed and there is no replacement available. So the hoses are directly attached. I'm not quite ready for a test...
I thought I would resurrect this thread and add a few things I've learned along the way and a lot more questions to stop cluttering up the "what did you do with your CUCV today/lately" thread.
First off, I now have Death Wobble in the front axle. I bought a rebuild kit from Off Road Design -...
Thats what I was figuring, Thanks Abbylind.
Well I replaced the 10amp fuse in the 28v slot, it was blown and I got the fuse tester out to verify because it was pretty hard to tell. Gen 2 light still doesn't pop on. I'll try to see if the bulb is good to go sometime soon and then get into...
The fuse looks a little funny... so i figure ill sawap it out and see if that helps. Not sure how the light bulb in the voltmeter goes back together, the black wire is is there, not sure where this odd grey one goes.... it wasnt attached to anything when i pulled the voltmeter out. Or it became...
Headlights and service lights work, but the high beam doesn't. It has the LMC headlight kit installed. I should've been more specific, Gen 2 doesn't appear to be working as the light doesn't come on. Voltmeter doesnt work either and I'm definitely scratching my head on a starting point...
Looks...
Alright I'm still figuring out the picture thing. Post 1 has a picture of the back of my voltmeter and a picture of the truck. I'm going to start here. Does the wiring look correct for the voltmeter? or should there be an additional one? The gray/white wire goes into the bulb correct?
looks...
Well I finally got a piece of green iron, its an '86 M1008 that spent its formative years in I'm guessing the Ohio National Guard and later retired from public service with the Indiana Forestry Service. Its a bone stock M1008, its older, a little rusty, slow, and loud so naturally we have a love...
