Thanks. I'll check those links you sent.

My starter ran away with me. It appears to have been the solenoid. However, I'm going to upgrade to the Doghead Relay when I make repairs. My question: How many fusible links get fried when this happens? I've found the one from the alternator and the one from the small wire that runs with the...

OK, I know what the TM says, but I'm asking for real-world experience or opinions. I would like to go dry on both gaskets as it has worked well for the coolant crossover pipe and the rear coolant block-off plates. I'm using the Felpro gasket kit not the gaskets that came with the pump.

Yep, that's the one. It saved my bacon.

Gratitude I wanted to post that we have quite a unique group on this site and would like to thank everyone who has ever posted their knowledge here. I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought my M1008, and I can write without any exaggeration that if not for this site my truck would...

Sorry guys. Just found a similar post below mine. :oops:

Can anyone tell me where the orange wire with the fusible link goes on the passenger side alternator? The TM is not clear. It shows the Red/White wire connected to the negative alternator post and a wired labeled "Suppressor" going to ground. I disconnected the wires and am having trouble...

OK. I got that leaky injector fixed. Apparently, when I cracked open the line to look for fuel flow, I loosened the whole injector along with the fitting that secures the pipe to the injector. It was leaking from the pipe fitting and from where the injector screws into the engine. The...

I cracked open an injector fitting (where the injector pipe enters) recently to see if there was fuel flow and now the thing leaks. Any tips on what I may have done wrong and how to fix it? I've tightened the fitting as much as I dare. It is on the driver's side, second from the front. I've...

Well, everything is grounded, but still no joy. Tried the new switch-no joy. :cry:

I did ground it under the dash on the driver's side where that prong-type ground is located. I also have my manual, push-button glow plug controller grounded there, too, and it still works. I originally used the switch that came with the valve, but I just returned from O'Reilly's where I...

I just added a second fuel tank to the right side of my '85 m1008. I wired it per the diagram, but don't seem able to get the valve or gauge sending unit on that side to activate. The valve was purchased from O'Reillys and did not come with instructions, so I wired and plumbed it based on some...

Great job! Those tires are off the chain. What kind and size are they?

saveitforsunrise I'd definitely be interested. pm me & we'll set up details.

Does anybody have any transmission/transfer case torque arms they'd be willing to part with? It's a civilian application but it's supposed to fit cucv's also. My transfer case adapter is cracked and when I replace it I'd like to install those torque arms. I've looked online and can tell it's...
