does it shudder when shifting up? does it die when you have reduced speed or drag the engine down lower than normal? If you get to 3rd gear can you get it to kick down to second? I agree somewhat with prior post and add...fluid was hotter than ****/boiling? Also check small vent on top...

If you dont mind me askin', why? I have done it for ever, in every truck i've ever owned without any problems....and i've never broken a case, or had any hub trouble related to them being unlocked while in 4wd hi or low. If I had to guess why, I would say it could be a problem if your front...

just so you have all the info.....suburbans and blazers use "different" glass:-D

look a little closer I think what might have you stumped is the outer retainer clip.....very thin, you need to use an all to get the end of it started coming out.... I know it may sound bad but I always go to the junk yard for spindle's/bearings/axles w/ good joint/and the little clips for...

i'm not sure about the 205, but I know your suppost to run 4wd atleast with hubs unlocked, once a week or so to keep everything oiled in a chain case

on a related topic I was curious if anyone knows why the military chooses to call them "gen 1 gen 2" when they are altenators? To my knowledge chevy hasn't used a generator since the 60's

good question Down hill, with a tail wind, on 33's doing about 35 or 40 for 300 miles. Does this place exist, i'd move there.:-D

The 208 in my 84 1008 will not allow me to go into 4 hi when moving...I have to stop everytime, although no issues with 4 low other than some "gear noise". I have thought alot about changing the case to a 205 or even 203 but never will because of moving/changing the cross member, adapter, both...

thanks for the reply, I will ask again at the tire shop and try to find out why thier giving incorrect info. Do you have a pic of the truck you can post...38's with 1" of lift in the front...i'm impressed,maybe as your avatar since I am still learning where stuff is in the site. To simplify...

Good, it sounds like you found your problem! On another note I want to mention that my 1008 has had a problem with that a little aswell....Mine was a huge air bubble in the upper radiator hose caused by previous owner doing a coolant flush and not "birping it"....I dont know if it's an issue...

WOW 400-550 for a timing set with those idler gears...thier free floating!! I do not agree to use free floating style gears, i've seen what happens on performance small/ big block chevys when they get to "floating around". I cant think of the maker right now...sorry...but someone makes a gear...

I was just wondering what size tires everyone is running on there 1008 if stock.... Les Schwab told me that 265/75/16 (32"tall) is stock tire size for the 80's 1 ton chevy's, but some of the vids on here of people's truck seem to show smaller tires(no I cant read the sidewall LOL), mine are...

ya, what he said I agree with these quotes and add: sometimes it is not only more convenient but quicker to get a response from someone who knows the answer or may tell you where you can find it. Thats not always necessary, but I will say that my 2 months or so on the site and i'm still...

why cant you run regular fuel line?

chain is good replacement, cheap and will last a long time a good gearset will cost tons more( please do not use cheap free floating gears) but is far superior when controlling timing. It's your choice, but I would do it when the water pump goes bad.

??? They will work with key on?....did you mean off, or are you joking...LOL?

the cheap altenator for drivers side is a large case unit out of a 86 chevy van/100 amp...you just dont hookup the Isolated ground drivers side, attach wire to any ground near-by for good measure:!:
