Thanks much! I did not even have a clue where to start looking!!!

When I first brought my 85 M1008A1 home, the interior turn signal indicator bulbs were both bad. I had finally gotten around to replacing them and found an interesting issue. Everything works normal and as it should. When I turn on my headlights, the interior indicator for the left turn signal...

I was doing some reading about the CUCVIIs and CUCVIIIs and it mentioned the enhanced mobility system pkg, it mentioned under body protection and such. One thing it mentioned was a tire pressure monitoring system. I know other than kind of a cool factor it really has no value, but other than...

Hello, I am going to be removing the bed from my M1008 to be able to replace the cab corners. I believe there are 8 bolts holding it on, The wireing harness, and gas cap connector. Is there any thing else I need to be awair of before I reove the bed? Thanks! Greg

mutt1966, you are indeed correct, the mounting hole in the bracket it about an inch or so to large for the AB15 base. I am going to make a plate to put onto the top of the bracket with a smaller hole so my AB15 will fit. I was looking at the 1729 bases and the cheapest I could find was around...

Bob, Thanks much! I was unsure where the rubber gasket went! You got me all setup now! Thanks again! Greg

It is the AB15 base with one center section and a top section, the pic I included is the mount/brush guard combo I have. Hope this helps! Thanks!

I have finally collected all of the parts to install the correct antenna on my M1008, the mount, brush guard, the rubber gasket and the antenna sections. I have seen someplace a diagram of how it all goes together, the placement of the rubber insulator, etc. I have searched here as well as my...

Rear of Alt pics, bringing back an old thread... I had to put installing a tach on the back burner and never followed up on this. Warthog, I have included a cpl of pics of the rear of my DS alt. I am sure that the plug in my original post goes to this pin. It snaps right on. My question is that...

Thanks for your explanation Warthog, so if I understand correctly then, the vacuum is caused by a differance in the density of the air in the intake vs he air outside?

My laptop crashed and I didnt have all my TM backed up..bad bad, anyway, I was able to recover them all here except for the one on painting. It had the actual camo patterns and stuff for various vehicles. Does anyone have a copy they can send me, or a link where I can DL it? I looked through the...

Im not sure if this is the right place for this, but seeing as I have a M1008, Id start here. Why dont diesels have the vacuum to run stuff like power brakes like a gasser? Vacuum in a gasser is the result of the piston pulling in air during the down word intake stroke, right? If this is...

Thank you so much, great video!!

Hello! I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction in the TMs for replacing my ignition switch. I have a 1985 M1008A1. I am guessing I am not using the correct term. All I can find are directions for a replacement of the actual switch at the bottom of the steering column. What I...

I was looking around for some other things and found my self at wally worlds website. I was not aware they made 24v batteries. I dont know, with our charging/starting system being 24v if these would ever be really useful, just kinda cool...

Ive decided on getting either a MEP-002A or MEP-003A, the problem is I am not sure which one would best suit my needs. I am wanting something to power the whole house, I do not need to worry about the furnace or water heater as they are gas and in any longterm grid outage I will need to use...

Hello, Was reading through the -10 tm and saw on page 1-13 under principles of operation not to let the vehicle run at idle for "extended periods" of time. With winter coming and and warming up cars in the near future Id like to know how long is to long? I have a hummer hand throttle...

Hello, since being on SS I have read of several ppl "twin sticking" their transfer case. I have done a little looking and found that there is a neat lil trick I guess you can do with this mod...from what I understand, if you have a FRONT locker, you can somehow set things up and basically pivot...

I had a feeling those numbers looked pretty small. Thanks for conferming guys!

I have been toying with the idea of adding a compressor in my 85M1008 and was looking around at some today and am wondering about the numbers I am seeing. As an example, a 24V Vlair puts ot only 0.95 cfm at 100#, this doe not sound like much flow, im not in my shop and cant remember what some of...
