    Starter Question

    I'm assuming that is what happened since the first shop to rebuild it put 12V solenoid on it. Needless to say it's going to a different shop...

    Starter Question

    Is the bendix on a 24v starter different than on a 12v starter? My 24v starter has been completely rebuilt and within 6mos it needs bendix #3..... what the🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    The starter is the weak link!

    The starter on my 85 M1008 has been completely rebuilt. Within less than 3mos it needed another bendix. Guess what now? It needs another bendix. Grrr...

    NP241 Transfer Case

    That's what I have to do with mine; roll forward, put in neutral, roll back a bit, hold steering wheel straight and pop it out of 4wd. And if I don't have the steering held just right, it will not come out of 4wd lol

    NP241 Transfer Case

    I now see that the 241 has a 2.72:1 vs a 2.62:1 low range. Not much difference.. I have no plans to replace the 208 units in my trucks.... they're working just fine. Besides, I'm not running a tire bigger than a 35 anyway. And getting a 205 out of 4wd can be a major pain. I already deal with...

    Civi Intake Resonator install?

    I have found that mounting the base of the air cleaner to where it draws air from the driver's side reduces the drone. At least it does on my 86 M1008..

    NP241 Transfer Case

    Anyone ever swap an NP241 in place of the NP208? I've read that the case itself is stronger than the NP208 case, but internally the same. Just curious....

    I just bought a 1985 Dually

    These trucks have a 10k lb braking system. Those rear drums work very well and provide a lot of stopping power. I tow my Kubota 3301 on a tandem axle trailer with my M1008 on short 2.3 mile trip and it stops it very well. **my speed is never over 40. A trailer brake controller is a must for...

    Brackets for A/C Compressor anyone?

    If I think of it, I'll take a pic of the AC brackets in my 86 M1008 when I get it back from the shop..

    My most recent vibration at idle was a loose fender support bracket on the bed by a wheel well lol

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Stopped by the shop today and the cucv brushguard is almost done with the modifications for the OLD Warn 8274. Once the new control pack gets here next week, it'll be ready to go. **I'm thankful to have a good mech that can also do fabrication work

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Dumped 2 shots of HotShots fuel cleaner in it this AM and fired it up. No issues starting and no cylinders were missing. Let it run through the cold idle circiut, revved up the engine and no rattling noise. Drove it 25 miles this morning and still no rattling.. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I did notice that the...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    What did I do to my cucv today?? On my way back home from breakfast in the 86 m1008 going about 50mph and all of the sudden I hear a rattling noise from the engine. And it lost some power. It does not sound like a rod or crank bearing. Sounds like something in the valvetrain let go. At idle I...
