QUOTE=Barrman;2010630]Under the column there is a huge multi wire flat plug for the blinker system. Them another with 5 wires. That 5 wire plug is the wiper system. Unplug it and see if the fuse works. If so, the problem is in the column or switch. If not, then you are still under the dash...

I've got a 1985 M1008 used only for snow plowing. This winter the fuse for the wipers blew when I wasn't using them. The plow was piggy-backed off the wiper fuse, so that's how I knew the fuse blew. It happened twice and it seems the fuse blew when I turned the wheel to the left. I moved the...

Wow, this was a long time ago. I found it pretty easy to remove and block over the old pump from the ground, but hanging like a bat sounds like so much fun I just might do it again!

Thanks!

Which is the pressure cooling line on the TH400 trans, and does it go to the top or bottom of the radiator? (I have had a cooler installed that bypasses the radiator, and I want to include the radiator in series with the external cooler.)

I know; that is why I wanted the cooler plumbed in series before the radiator.

I appreciate all the responses I received on this thread. I should have mentioned what I posted on an earlier thread; this transmission is used for snow plowing. Update: I had asked my mechanic to place a cooler in line before the radiator. What he did is eliminate the radiator entirely and...

Then the rod should remain under no pressure or danger of doing any damage, so I'll just leave it there. It's been running for awhile like this.

I put my finger down the hole, not up. I thought the pushrod pushed up. If it pushes down from the top them I assume it won't have any pressure on it without the pump arm there, so it should not be a problem. Am I wrong?

I thank you all for the great input.

I removed my leaking fuel pump and covered the hole in the block. Installed electric pump and everything runs fine. I remember reading about a pin or rod that connects the oil pump cam to the old mechanical pump. I did not find this when I removed the old pump. Will it do any harm if it is still...

Please see new thread I just started about auto trans coolers.

A question for the board. I am having my M1008 TH400 rebuilt. I'm thinking of adding a cooler. I am tempted to add the cooler BEFORE the radiator (trans fluid to cooler, to radiator, back to trans). Here is why: The optimum trans operating temperature range is about 200 degrees F. Everything...

Up until now all I had heard about the TH400 is that it is very tough and reliable. I think the one I have has been severely mistreated.

Thanks.

>>>>"I agree no auxiliary trans cooler needed on a plow truck. the newer trucks that have the trailer/tow/plow package have all that and I like them. they are all automatics also"<<<< Are you saying that no aux trans cooler is necessary on the newer trucks because they have the tow package, or...

That looks like a great idea. Western doesn't seem to have one, but it seems the one shown could surely be adapted to any plow.

Thanks for your info. Yes, I wish I had a standard shift. I've got one in my snowblower truck and like it, as I'm usually in first gear all the time. With the plow, I wonder if it might be a hassle shifting fast from first to second when pushing a load. In any case, the conversion would be too...
