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.
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...
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...
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!

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.
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.
