Hello all! Now that I have my truck running and driving again, thanks to help from a fellow SS member, I am going to be looking to replace my ailing GM8 turbo down the road. I have been looking for a deuce whistler unit, which seem to be either hard to find or really expensive. I did find out...

I know this is an older post but I have 2 questions, are there any left for sale, and did anyone get one to work with the W term on a CUCV alt? I don't normaly have trouble with schematics and drawings but the one posted a few pages back is giving me a headache! lol Thanks, Greg

Could it be his oil pan? Was there ever a lower capacity pan made for these trucks for any reason?

Ken, Thanks for the info on checking my front diff. and when you have the time taking a rear spring pack pic!! Thanks again! Greg

Ken, I have thought about the things you mentioned. I need to find some pics on the site here of the rear overloads as I am not sure exactly what I am looking for. As far as the front end goes, until I pull the cover this spring to change the fluid, clean and just check the overall...

Corelokt, if you want to do something similar to the way GM did it from the factory,, its pretty simple. I had an '85 Silvarado. There is a "valve" between the tanks and a switch on the dash. The fuel feed and sender wires from each tank go to the valve and you chose by simply flipping that...

Ken, I am pretty sure it is a 1008A1, the manual that was with it as well as the data plates seem to confirm this

Doghead, I have not tried Taptalk, 73M819, I am aware that SS is primarily a COMPUTER site, but there are times when I am not at home or at a place w/ 'puter access like an auto parts place or with a friend and wish to ref. something on the site and my phone is what I have. Patracy, The phone...

Hello all! I have a question regarding viewing pics that are part of posts on my phone. It is an Android phone and when a post is made with pics attached, it will show a small paperclip at the bottom of the post, saying thumbs attached. The pics don't show, if I click on the paperclip and choose...

When I bought and rebuilt my 96 6.5l turbo, I went with a 0.10 thicker head gasket, just make sure its a good one (FelPro) if you go that route.

Not to hijack the OPs thread, but Marcus, I changed out all of my interior lights with blue and LOVE it, it seems to me that it is less of a distraction. I had gone w red, then when I got my dome light (one of the ones out of an APC), it has the blue filter on the default bulb and tried...

A little off topic, but I remember the first winter I owned my M1008, first time i ever owned ANYTHING with a locker, it was snowy/icy out, was on just ever so slight a curve in the road and the next thing I knew, the rear end was coming around on me! That was sure one **** of a surprise! I was...

Bill, thanks much! I had only ever seen the ones I mentioned with the color changing desicant at the local HF. The link you posted mentiones the "wall mounted" filter. Do you know if they are refering to the two bowl oil/water seperator they have? If so have you used and had any luck w it? I...

Thanks NDT, that sounds alot more of what I need from the little I have been able to find and read. The truck does have 4 tie downs, one in each corner. They are not small by any means, wihout going out to measure, I would guess they have a shaft diamater of around 3/4" and the eye round 1 3/4"...

Thanks much for the help and advise, I have a large compressor that I always keep drained. I have two professional guns I got cleaning out a barn for the inlaws but I havent used them. Bill, I will do some looking, I have never seen inline paper filters. I know if the guns I have dont function...

The only air dryers I can find around here are the small caryrages with the color changi g desicant in them, Im afraid that wont be enough or Ill go through them like crazy!

I have an M1008A1 wich I understand was a radio truck. The bed has four places on all four corners where it had antennas. What type of equipment do I need to be looking for to more or less restore the truck? It does not look to have had things bolted in the cab. Would an S250 shelter be more...

I am going to be painting my M1008 this summer. I have settled on the Rapco 383. My question is, would I be better off using something like Harbor Freigts airless set up, a regular paint gun or rattle can it? I worry about my compressor and a regular gun because where I live (central In)...

Great, thanks Snowtrac!
