    Broken Accelerator Cable

    Putting on an endcap is pretty darn simple. You can buy the cheap version of a crimper for about $10. I get my tools and hardware from aircraft hardware supply stores, my other hobby, or you can find stuff on ebay. Or even simpler, you can use an adjustable endcap that has a thumbscrew to...

    Broken Accelerator Cable

    It took me 20 minutes to put on throttle cable 15674368 from gmpartsnation.com. It is not the original part, but it fits. There was a little extra slack in the cable, which can be remedied by cutting off the endcap at the gas pedal, pulling the slack through, and putting on a new swage endcap...

    I saw those at carquest. Given they are about 10 inches too short, I doubt it will work

    m1008 brakes

    sorry, I am a beginner. If the backing plate is wet (with brake fluid?), then I have problems with the seals? These seals are in the brake drum itself?

    m1008 brakes

    how do I adjust the brakes on my m1008 so it gets more from the front, less from the back. Now when I stop at every red light, my back wheels are locking up and I get angry looks from the guy in front of me who thinks I am hot rodding.

    transfer case fill plug removal

    Is there a special tool to remove the 30 mm plugs on the transfer case of the M1008? I cant get it with a socket. Its on there pretty tight, and the head of the plug is very thin.

    engine braking

    when my selector is in 2nd, I get no engine braking. When in drive, at 35mph, tach drops suddenly to idle as it free-rolls. Always at 35 mph. In 1, I get engine braking all the way to a stop. It doesnt feel like the torque converter being a little loose. When it breaks free, it is a very...

    engine braking

    other than that, its seems to be running fine. I already put 3000 miles on it and nothing has changed. Its not slipping and it pulls OK.

    transmission M1008

    One more- how does one adjust the vacuum modulator valve? My transmission on my M1008 has such a strong kick that I am worried about it knocking my neck out of joint.
