    Converting a M1008 to a 350

    Timber, he's done with the 6.2. He never really was a fan of it. 91W350, we might end up doing that. Gonna make a salvage run this weekend and if they have one out and ready for a little of nothing we might bite. Thanks for the offer on the small parts, if it comes down to it I'll PM ya!

    Converting a M1008 to a 350

    I know that I'm asking alot, lol. But as of now fast and expensive is going to probably overtake slow, thought out and cheap. We are going to have a very narrow window to burn this year and need the truck. In Kansas we dont have inspections or emmisions, lucky us. We dont have another 6.2 to...

    Where's Your License Plate?

    M1008 self tapping screws into the rear driver's side bumper. Kansas requires a light so I got a trailer tag light and mounted it above the plate. It does stick up but the recess in the tailgate allows it to shut without touching.

    Converting a M1008 to a 350

    We are goin to the junkyard to get power steering pump and alternator brackets along with manifolds. Sounds like we'll be getting an alternator too. The cheaper the better but we dont have time to sit around trying to make parts work. The old "dollar waiting on a dime" phrase.

    Converting a M1008 to a 350

    I know this subject has been covered before and I've read the previous threads. The other day the boss's m1008 pitched a rod or snapped the crank, of course this happened right before burn season started and thats our burn truck. We've got a 350 GM performance crate engine coming and are getting...

    Holes in transfer case on M1009

    I work for a carburetor shop that specalizes in old BMW carbs. They get that corrosion and pinholes in the float bowls all the time. The stuff we use to fill them is called "Devcon". Works great! Its a two part epoxy. Clean the snot outta it let it setup. I'm sold on it. Main thing is to get it...

    Gen 2 Very dim. Relay?

    We were talking about Gen 2. I think your talking about Gen 1 Hollowman.

    Gen 2 Very dim. Relay?

    Just got done putting on the new belt and the light is still on just as before. As long as it's charging I guess I won't worry about it.

    What do your neighbors and other drivers think of your CUCV

    Last week after I got done washing the 08 I saw a cop pull right out behind me and ride my bumper. I was headed outta town to dry the truck off (as much as you can dry off at 50mph) and he turned around at the city limits. Later that night on the way back from the grocery store he did it again...

    M1008 Frontend starting to sag

    M1008 Frontend starting to sag

    Put the springs on last night and they turned out GREAT!! The part number was JRS224025LF just like toocool used. Raised the front end up quite a bit. About 3 inchs. I'm sure they will compress some over time. I'll try and get some pics this week to put up. Pretty straightforward swap. Thanks...

    That is what I would do unfortunately I live in the middle of nowhere and don't have a reputable shop close.

    Gen 2 Very dim. Relay?

    The belt is tight but far from new. Come Monday I'll hit up NAPA switch it out and see what happens. Thanks again for the replies, just covering my basis and making sure it wasnt something completly obvious.
