Cool, thanks Iceman.

Is there any difference between putting the 4.56 axles from an M1008 onto a 6.2 diesel suburban that already has a 700r4 transmission versus putting the 700R4 into a m1008? I would like to know what a safe speed is for the over drive on a stock civilian suburban if I put the 4.56 m1008 axles on...

I guess I was hoping for a straight answer since all the threads get pretty complex and have tons of options. If you take a stock civilian 700r transmission and put it into a stock m1008 with no other gear ratio mods, what is the highest long distance speed that would be safe to drive?

Thanks, sorry for the redundancy. I will do a better job of searching first in the future.

I am considering replacing my th400 tranny with a 700r tranny that has overdrive, has anyone done this? does it increase the cruising speed of the cucv?

Thanks for the help Mistaken1. It turns out this was indeed a self inflicted wound. This is the result of not bolting down the fuse box. there are 2 bolts on opposite corners of the fuse box. If you don't tighten them down then the rear flashers, signals and brake lights don't work. I am...

I have tested the flashers by taking the ones out the of m1008 and putting them into my m1009. The m1009 works fine with the m1008 flashers so that isn't it. I am confused why the light green wire at the rear socket that should cause the lights to go on is going to the dimmer as in warhogs...

I do have the black out lights on correctly. The rest of the lights work great ie. tail lights, reverse lights, headlights, front signal lights, all work fine. Its just the brake lights and left and right rear signal lights and emergency flashers which is really just the both rear signal...

This is excellent, thank you mistaken. Do you know where the lighting control switch is that is on f-13?

I think I messed up something a while back working in my dash of the m1008. My rear emergency flashers, rear turn signals and brake lights don't work. Now what do those three sets of lights all have in common? A relay perhaps? If anyone knows of the obvious solution that would help. I...

Bump

Looks like I missed something after all. My rear blinkers aren't working. they worked when I passed safety inspection but somehow stopped working when these strange problems started showing up. The brake lights work, the rear running lights work, just no signal lights. What would cause this?

So I finally got around to doing the initial fluid checks and replacement as needed for my M109 that I bought last fall, turns out the differential plugs are all glued shut.:x First I tried my 1/2 inch socket wrench with extension and couldn't get them to budge at all I tried an impact gun...

I thought it was pretty easy to tell if it was a whistler from the whistling noise it makes when it drives. Is it more complex than that really?

Please let us know when and where we can buy one.

Welcome T-Wrecks. Nice to see another new member enter the fold.

Finally got my m1008 online after finding that I had an open circuit between gen 2 alternator and the firewall connection that is next to the glow plug solenoid.

Thanks Reverend, that is a good point. I did all that a while ago. Now I am asking about the wires from the actual generation of amperage coming out of the alternator rather than the two wire pigtail that goes into the rectifier. Thank you.

I am still struggling with this m1008 and the Gen 2 light. Looks like I have a good circuit from the fuse to the light to the alternator. I think I have a problem with one of the other wires off the alternator. Does anyone know what the physical location is for where these other wires are...

I must admit, I am still struggling with the M1008 and gen2 light. I have tested the relay and diode for gen 2 and they both check out. The F-4 diagram on page F-11 of the TM shows the connections that I think are relevant. Between ground and the black/pink wire on the relay plug I show about...
