    Can I transplant engine, xmission, and transfer from a 1978

    If your'e talking about a np203 t-case that is a full time transfer case meaning you have to keep the hubs locked up all the time or you will wear out the internals, I think there are kits available to make it a part time t-case but I don't know who maybe off road design, the 203 has a...

    URGENT I need help with hard starting m1008

    the temperature switch on the glow plugs is set to open when the coolant is 125 degrees or so, "it may be higher than that, but I'm sure its close to that" meaning that it wont stop the plugs from operating unless the switch opens and turns off the glow plug system. This info might be...

    URGENT I need help with hard starting m1008

    did you check to make sure that you have at least five working glow plugs, some plugs can burn out quiker using a manual switch and sometimes the dropping ressistor "on the fire wall" will cease to funcion and it will let the whole 24 volts through and fry the plugs "remember this a plug doesn't...

    URGENT I need help with hard starting m1008

    I keep telling everyone that the military glowplug system can be problematic and if it starts acting up to replace it with a bypass relay switch "if your cheap" or you can update it with the civy controler and change out the tang connectors for 1/4" glow plugs. I drive my truck everyday, and...

    CUCV Ambulance advice

    first off if your thinking of traveling with this truck then I can tell you that you'll need to do something about the top speed! 4.56 gears and 32" tires will be winding the engine up even at 55 and the result will be poor fuel economy. secondly being broke down on the road without the proper...

    CUCV axle question

    the np208 t-case is not a bad case the 2.62 low gear ratio is rescpectable and its aluminum case is alot lighter than a 205 but that doesn't make it weak the skid plate undr should ward off 99% of the potential damage you can inflict. the only reason I can see for running a 205 is if you plan...

    glow plug system update

    first off using starting fluid is not recomended, I think it has a much lower flash point and can cause pre-detonation in the cylinders, w-d40 is a good alternernative. sounds to me like you got some glow plugs burnt out, take a multimeter set for ohm's and put one lead on the flat tang of...
