    Eliminating Starter Relay

    I have a 87 M1008 that has been converted to 12v, and recently I was getting an issue where when I went to turn the key it would just click and not turn over. Changed batteries, cables, starter, but still the same problem. Finally pulled the starter relay out and just jumped both the purple...

    M1031 vibration when stopped

    Can raising the idle have any negative effect on the transmission? I also have rough idle, but in my case it doesn't matter what gear I'm in.

    The issue turned out to be the flasher, swapped it out with a new one and everything is back to normal. Thanks for the help.

    Turn Signal Issue

    The turn signals on my 1987 m1008 are not working properly. I have no turn signal lights inside when I turn it to the left or the right, but if I look outside then occasionally it will blink. I have checked the 30 amp fuse and if I turn the four ways on all the lights are working, and the green...

    CUCV on hospice, wife wants to pull the plug

    To advance the timing on the injection pump turn it towards the driver side. For the transmission issue try adjusting the vacuum regulator valve, I believe counter clockwise if its shifting hard. Its the plastic piece bolted onto the left side of the injection pump.

    Windshield Washer Pump?

    How would I go about installing a universal inline washer pump? Can the existing line be used from the washer fluid bottle? I couldn't seem to find any instructions on installing a universal pump on the forum.

    Starter Clicking, not turning the engine over.

    The fix to the problem was buying the correct bracket for the starter (Part # 23502557). Thanks for all the suggestions.

    Starter Clicking, not turning the engine over.

    The connections are all tight I made the support bracket myself out of angle iron. Could that be a problem?

    Starter Clicking, not turning the engine over.

    Ill change my wording. When i go to turn the key I hear a click or clunk (like the flywheel is not lining up with the starter gear) If i turn the flywheel a little, it will start just fine. I have a gear reduction starter that says, "NO SHIMS". The batteries are brand new, as well as all the...

    Starter Clicking, not turning the engine over.

    I have a 1986 M1008, and the starter will click but not turn over the engine. Its the gear driven model and I have just replaced it. The gap is between .02 and .06 without any shims. Any suggestions? Very frustrating after spending $230 on a new starter...
