The short was on the light green wire connected to the reverse light housing. It had frayed and was grounding out on the body behind the light housing. I had removed both sides, replace all bulbs and cleaned all the connections. I was still getting power from that wire but it was because I was...

I'll let you know as soon as I pull it. Thank you.

Yeah......thats gonna suck. You could just cut the bracket off the tube and use an existing bolt and a hose clamp to secure it. Im sure you could find a dozen other ways to do it.

How can I tell the difference? Im pulling my starter out later today. Is it stamped with the model? I looked through the -20 and -30 manuals and they show a picture of the solenoid but they don't reference them at all.

You said you've seen the solenoids from $50-$75, where did you find them? I found 24V starters for sale but not the solenoids. The local parts stores carry solenoids but I think they are all 12V.

Any chance you know if a 6.5 Hummer starter solenoid will work on an M1008 6.2L??

Found my problem, there was a short in the wiring that went to the driver side reverse light.

I had the same issue with mine but I saw it coming so the day before I did the pan, I started PB Blasting the bolt every two hours, all day long. It was slow turning but it backed off. You don't have to get it all the way off, just backed out a few threads so you can slip the bracket out. Its...

They may have jacked up your IP in the process of rebuilding. Maybe you should have that company look at it again.

Ok, so you've bleed all possible air from the fuel lines. You can start it with WD40 (don't recommend you do that anymore). it cranks all day but doesnt fire. that leaves you with air or combustion. Check your air filter, I doubt thats your issue but you'd be pissed if you spent a bunch of money...

Actually, I guess that wouldnt make sense either as when I put the reverse light in and put the truck in reverse, I had reverse light but it caused the rest to go out.

Thank you, I can't believe I didn't see that. I was on their website yesterday too. Ive followed the schematics and checked everything back to the fuse box. Because it comes and goes like that and because the reverse lights share the same fuse (I think) Im going to check to see if the fuse...

Let me know how it goes. 3 of my lines were threaded on when I bought it but the lines werent seated so I was pulling air in and had constant problems starting it.

If you havent solved your shifting problem yet, change your tranny filter and fluid. My 1008 shifted really hard until I changed the filter, now it shifts like a caddy.

What are the disadvantages of running WMO?

Im not sure of your issue as I had the same symptoms but once I bleed the lines, no problems. If you mange to get that beast running again, I would run a quart of dextron (ATF fluid) through your fuel tank. You may just have crap in your lines. It wouldn't hurt to drain your tank out first, then...

I hate to have to start a thread about a freakin reverse light but Im stumped and nothing on here or the TMs have helped. My 85 M1008 had the driver side reverse light out when I bought it. After finally getting around to investigating I found that the whole plug w/ pigtail (with to wires -...

Nice build man.

BTW, how much back space does a 1008 require?

Thanks Dave, I appreciate that.
