    Driveshaft damage Poll

    With all the recent and past reports of CUCV forklift damage, including my M1008 from GL, VA lets add up all the GL carnage. Both DS and body on mine. DS looked like a twizzler, door and fender crunched.

    cold/fast idle sensor...

    The plunger does not have enough power to push the throttle lever on it's own, you have to hold it ahead as if pushing down on the pedal and let the plunger advance and see if it holds. It may be out of adjustment as well, you can screw it in to lengthen it. I had this happen on mine, two or...

    how cold has it been and started?

    My 86 M1008 at -24 started first try, new IP, and glowplugs made the difference.

    could a bent drive shaft crack a th400

    I would think the tail of the tranfer case would break/crack before the transmission would. The trans probably took a hit from the forklift. 55mph in a M1008 is not helping either, 50mph should be max if you want the truck to last. TH400 should be easy to find, and rebuilding the ds is simple...

    Auto transportation service heading back to Maine from Florida empty will bring it back.

    New soldier, new steed

    Thanks, I won't be picking it up, a SS veteran of Redstone will take care of that. I found a auto transporter heading back to Maine from Florida empty that is going to bring it back for me. Now all I need is GL's stamp of approval!

    thermostat housing

    Drill them out and re-tap. Be sure to use the correct drill size for the tap, use a piece of tape on the bit to gauge the depth if the hole is blind, be sure to center the drill as well. Start with a pilot drill such as 1/8" and use cutting fluid. Be sure to keep the drill straight and just...

    New soldier, new steed

    That was me bidding on the M1031 and won it, pretty detemined this time around to get a good one, seems they are getting harder to find with the equipment still in tact. Good score on the M1008, hopefully it won't take much to get it running.

    cold/fast idle sensor...

    It makes no difference which way it goes on, all it does is pass the 12v through to the IP.

    12V Starter on M1008

    I converted a M1009 because I put a plow pump on and needed the space/pulley and the 12v starter does not work as well as the 24 did. A 24v starter draws less amps and is much better, especially in cold weather. I will never convert another one. Brand new 24v starters are on ebay for $125.

    new M109

    Another great score! You must have your own reserved parking space at Redstone. Mark
