How does your 6.2 diesel do with first to second gear change? My 79 K20 has the SM465 with a warmed up 406, so that wider gearing span from first to second gear ain't bad. Just curious how it was with a 6.2 diesel...

At this point both of my old Turbo 400 trans have worked just fine. Lol they've been reliable when other stuff on both trucks needed to be replaced. I feel lucky so far

Early last year the transfer case in my 86 M1008 started whining. It was very low on fluid lol

As long as there's gear oil in the axle housing, you're good to go

You mentioned a whining noise; have you checked the fluid level in the transfer case?

A friend over there recommended a shop called Landmark in Roswell off of Alpharretta St

I know some people up there, I'll ask.... What part of Cherokee?

Something similar, but less weight than the flatbed on my 79 K20..

Thinking about replacing the rusted bed on the 86 M1008 with a flatbed with removable side panels. Anyone in here done that?

Yes, a manual primer is one of the best upgrades to our CUCV's. The filter housing on my 85 M1008 started leaking, so we swapped in a Duramax fuel filter set up. Fuel filter changes and priming the system is a breeze now. As soon as I come across another D'max fuel filter set up, I'll snag it...

Find another shop... You're in Atlanta, so finding someone that knows how to properly rebuild an older transmission will not be easy. I'm out on the western side of Carroll county which is about an hour from Atl. I have a very good mechanic out here on the south side of Bowdon that I highly...

Nope, everything was tight and nothing missing... again, Idk why it reduces intake noise when the air inlet is on the drivers side🤷‍♂️

Did that when I had 74 K10. What they didn't tell me was the annual tag fee was triple the cost of a normal tag when it came time to renew every year..

I don't have an answer as to why it reduces the noise. I just know when I flipped the air inlet to the drivers side it cut down on the noise. Attaching some sort of an air induction hose to the air cleaner housing helps as well.

Just flip the intake portion of the air filter housing to the drivers side. It'll cut down on the noise from the intake.

Both of my M1008s' and my 79 K20 have the same steel skid plate underneath the tank.

What Skinny said.. Years ago I purchased new steel tanks for the 74 K10 from Year One. Never had an issue with them. The gentleman that I recently sold that truck to cleaned out the tanks and there was zero rust.

I renewed the tags on both M1008's today.... does that count? Lol

The ole G80 gov bomb strikes again.. I think Yukon or Detroit makes a carrier that operates the same as a G80, but strengthened to be durable

My DD is an 04 Duramax truck. No way I want that much power in a CUCV truck. Lol, the warmed up 406 in my K20 is enough
