Found this from tm america doing a search. The shift kit seemed interesting though. Shift Kit in M1008?

In my learning process I read about a TH400 Shift Improver Kit. Anybody ever heard of these and does it even apply to our vehicles? It is new to me.

Ok, I've been reading about the 700R4 and 4L80E transmissions and now I have a headache. If I plan on keeping this truck the rest of my life, and I do, a gearvendor seems the way to go for me even if it is more expensive. That way when the day comes for an engine, I can still put the 6.5 with...

Guys, the truck is not going to blow up if I keep it at or below 65 mph and if it does I am fixing it. It is said you can only tow 3000 lbs with a M1008. We both know that is with the pintle, but I am probably ruining my engine. I had a 8 ton hitch installed. I do need a trans cooler if I...

I am not looking for power and speed. I am looking for a stronger better built engine and they call them performance engines, not my term. One forum says you can run a 6.2 at higher rpms all day long and if it is in good mechanical shape nothing will happen. Then this forum says don't go...

I am trying to get away from this and do the work only once with a stronger block and heads. I would be making the swap the first time I threw a rod or blew a head gasket or whatever causes a overhaul. EDIT- I think I could do a swap, but rebuilding would take allot of beer as there are many...

Yes, but I will have the better block and heads... You would not believe the hours my Dad made me stand there and watch, learn, help whatever. He never went to the shop. So in honor of him I should do something with what he taught me in my life.

Shift Indicator install help... Shift indicator question :driver:

Even though my truck runs fine everyone says I will blow the engine if I keep driving at 65 mph. I am going to find out. So would you put a new 6.5 high performance diesel engine in a M1008? The engine cost would be about $5000. I am talking about the drop in model that is suppose to be an...

I can't help you much, but here is a picture from TM 9-2320-289-20, 4-5. STARTER AND STARTER RELAY REPLACEMENT and some other useful links. Starter Shim Instructions 6.2 Starter Bolt InfoChanged Starter - Now Starter Bracket Issue EDIT- You didn't say the year of your truck...

I have researched and read all I can putting allot of thought in this. I think the first major breakdown I have I will be putting a 6.5 turbo engine with a better block and heads. That will allow me to keep the 24 volt starter system and have a better engine. I will be keeping this truck...

Didn't you have that vehicle for sale in the classified last year? It's your vehicle, but if I bought it I would do the doghead mod the right way and quit f-ing around with the stupid stuff. My grandpa gave me some good advice one time. He said don't be a pu$$y. So if you want to baby your...

That's kind of what I was looking for and thought. My TH400 trans is fine with me. My thinking is the first major repair that comes up I might make the swap. Reliability with a stronger block and better heads is what I want. I don't even need a turbo though it is looking like the way to go...

I have been doing a search and only found various information. I am wanting to learn about the 6.5 diesel engine in my M1008. Mainly the newer improved "high performance" redesigned block and heads. Does it fit without major mods, turbo centermounted or sidemounted , non-turbo, etc? I also...

You are over thinking the mod. Be able to keep the vehicle stock in this area will not make any difference in the resale value. Even if a new person bought your truck he would more than likely make the mod. So you are trying to maintain the integrity of a part that has been shown to go bad...

OK, so I wanted to know myself and did the search for you. I think it is pretty clear after reading some. TM9-2320-289-34P CABLES AND SLAVE CONNECTOR . . . Page 57-1 TM 9-2320-289-20 Slave receptacle . . .Page 4-84 TM 9-2320-289-10 Slave start truck.. . Page 2-86 No GP...

I am not questioning your ability, but is it possible you have the wiring switched on your gp relay?

It's me. I originally had a topper. The Diesel Treat not only prevents gelling, but lubricates too. The best price I found is at Big R. My M1008 starts easily after the gp cycles each time and I do think it is the additive.

Don't neglect to disconnect your battery during the mod...and I hope it works this time.
