    Operating a CUCV with no alternator belts-help!

    Both of my alternator belts broke on the way in to work today. They broke about five minutes apart of each other, that's my luck. I checked the remains and they were dry rotted. My question is, is it safe to drive my vehicle without the alternators for a period of time? I know in the TM's it...

    Why do some cucv's need EUC's and others don't?

    I have since learned that the number must be below 6000 or above 10000 in order to obtain a SF-97. If it falls inbetween, such as 8000 or something, then it will be a scrap sale. That is how it was explained to me by GL anyway.

    M1008 TH400 Shift Issue

    It would not shift at all. I got the truck up to about 25 as I did not want to take it further cause the engine sounded like it was all reved out at that speed. I did not replace my vacuum line because it looked to be free from cracks or other damage. Also, I did not check the vacuum valve...

    M1008 TH400 Shift Issue

    My newly aquired M1008 would not shift out of 1st gear. I researched the -20 and -34 manuals. I performed the first step listed in the -34; I unplugged the downshift electrical connector from the drivers side of the transmission and then operated the M1008 to check shifting points. It seemed...
