    M1008 Fuel Mileage (vs 1009)

    Well that makes me feel silly. I hadn't even thought of the odometer changing. I run 285's also, how much did it change your speedo readings, CCatlett? The one time I was able to check it was approximately 2-3 mph faster than what the speedo showed. I guess that would add up during the...

    Steve's M1008

    Hmm.. Fuel mileage ranges from 10-15 mpg. Depending on if I get on the interstate or not. Driving around town 35 and below a tank will last most of the week. On the interstate, it drinks like a sailor. Poor thing needs some injector and pump work though. I'm hoping it'll improve after that's...

    Anybody know the length of the alt. bolt on the pass. side?

    The bolt that came from mine is 6 11/16" long, tip to shoulder, and 7 1/16" overall. *HOWEVER* I am not completely sure this is the bolt that was originally installed. My 1008 kept eating belts, once, sometimes twice a week usually breaking some/all of the belts. After checking and...

    M1009 Flywheel Rubbing

    I'm assuming by "right generator light" you mean the Gen 2? Does your Voltage meter (if there is one) work? If not it could be the fuse. My 1008 acted like that when I got it. There's a fuse at the 9 o'clock position of the bottom-right flasher in the fuse panel. It's marked "28v"...

    trans help

    I run mine right around 55-60 on the speedo. I have run it at 60-65 if I was in a big hurry. It used to make me cringe but I guess I've gotten used to it. If i remember right at 55 the engine is at 2850 RPM, and this is supposed to be the "optimal" RPM for the 6.2. The horsepower rating...

    So what's the next big repair/upgrade on your CUCV?

    So many little things to do, but I really want to get the paint and bodywork done, if I ever make up my mind whether I want Snow or Jungle Camo. I would also like to get a decent set of steps/nerf bars. The wife actually likes the truck as much as I do, she just has more problems climbing in...
