Sounds like a plan. And no, I have no known clairvoyant talents rofl

Suggestion: Check you brake lines while you are at it. After all these years they can rust out. Very discomforting to have your brakes fail just when you need them.

To fix mine, I removed pump assembly from the firewall. Removed the cover from the upper gear assembly. Cleaned and lubed with white lithium grease as the old grease had solidified. I cleaned and re-gaped the parking circuit switch. Then, I reassembled and used ANCO #6106 washer pump repair...

Agreed. A new radiator is in order. I have had good luck with the Spectra Premium CU850. A nearly identical part to the stock. Copper/brass, 4 rows, etc. Weighs almost 50 lbs. It is now being made in China. You may need to replace the overflow tube as the outlet on the neck is at a...

Seems to me you did just fine in finding a challenging fault. And, on top of that, you provided some assistance to the next one of us running into this issue. Nice work!

Happy it appears you found the issue. Not too comforting to know that you had some arcing going on near the fuel delivery system.

And really close to redline at 65 MPH, at about 3400 RPM with stock sized tires. http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html I have installed 33's on my M1008A1 and added a Gear Vendors overdrive ($$) which brings the effective final drive ratio down to about 3.55 equivalent. Incredibly driveable...

If it was my truck, I'd replace the IP, especially if it is the original. Lot's of good places out there to get one from. I've been running a rebuild from Badger Diesel for 10 months and the truck is running great. I also replaced the injectors with their rebuilds and used their return line...

Gen 1 circuit is shared with the blower circuit. Something else to consider is replacing the blower motor, switch, and resistor mounted on the firewall. Clean your contacts while you are at it. If you shop well, it is less than $50 for all 3 parts and, like the headlight circuit harness...

+1 on all the advice mentioned above. How did the truck handle before the lift? That will assist in identifying the cause of the issue. Check to make sure your frame isn't cracked as well. A known issue with these trucks is that the frame can crack at the steering gear mount location. Since...

Fixed the wiper motor on the M1008A1. They now park. Connections are nice and clean. Lubed up the internal mechanism. The wipers now run at "normal" speed. Used the washer pump rebuild kit from Anco picked up on RockAuto. Works great. Need to change the filter on the end of the intake...

That's not much of a challenge rofl

Oil pressure sensors will work just fine with a "T". They are measuring pressure. However, I am personally not comfortable with using a "T" for water temp sensor. These sensors must be submerged in the fluid they are measuring, and the fluid must be moving or refreshed in order to provide...

I have seen people plumb a "T" into the oil pressure port that allowed the use of both the gauge (great for telling you exactly what is going on) and the light (outstanding at getting your attention when there is something wrong). I also like the idea of using a separate location for the water...

Sometimes the issue with horn's not working is up in the steering wheel/column. There are a number of parts in there that are known to corrode or break. Try some simple tests. To see if the horn actually works, use a jumper wire from the battery to various connections in the horn circuit...

Bummer Phil, Did you ever get a chance to perform a compression test?

Might have missed a gem. IMO, no used vehicle, and some new ones, can be assessed solely by odometer readings. I treat it as a data point. Now, with the CUCV's, since almost every part may have been replaced. Or, the vehicle in question may have been a donor until someone decided to fix 'er...

berry berry caiwfuwee!! rofl

Replaced the trashed rear Transfer Case seal on the M1008A1. Topped off the TC with fluid. It's dry again under the truck (well, except for the rear main which will be changed in warmer weather)
