    Rebuild a 400

    Thanks for the replies guys! I was told $1100 as a worst case scenario, prolly would not go over $900.. The rebuild kits that I was looking at included replacement steels. Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree. I think that I will drop it myself and tak it in and have him bench it for me...

    My Deuce showed up yesterday...

    Be careful with State Farm, I have it through them in Louisiana and the only thing the WONT cover is parades. I do not think Texas and LA are that different. I asked that question along with a few others and that was the UNDERWRITERS answer over the conference call. make sure you ask questions...

    Anyone with cargo on Arrow Truck Lines?

    That actually doesnt sound too bad, if ya think about it. Might want to check with a lawyer before ya do it though to make sure it would hold water.

    Pickin Up new M1009 on Christmas Eve Day

    Power of Attorney....hmmm. There are many posts on titling a vehicle with a SF97, most do not go well. If the SF97 is in his name, he has to title it in his name and then transfer it to you. Sounds like he is trying to get out of paying the state tax. Insist on a title from him signed over to...

    Non-Skid finish on body parts

    My M35a2 has the same. Looks like they did it with CARC and added sand for the non-skid look. Of course, it is all all peeling and bubbling up. Might want to look into getting an aftermarket product or having the bedliner people apply their stuff next time. They can make just about any colour...

    Rebuild a 400

    There is a possibility of my M1008 needing a freshening up as the fluid is light brown and has a slight 'toasty' smell. I have a pretty good mechanical ability and am not afraid to dive into most anything, other than, :shock::shock:transmissions:shock::shock:... I have been looking through the...

    CUCV purchase

    M1008 The M1008 has 4.56 gears. If you want 4.10 gears you will have to purchase the new gears and also change the carrier on the rear as there is a carrier break at 4.10. The Rear is a 14bolt corp unit. This being said, you also have to change not only the rear but also the front as well...

    Starter just died, looking for a new one i think..

    Might want to look for another shop. When you find one, take a look at the work they are doing on the bench at that time. When you go into an auto electric shop they should be tearing down the unit, cleaning the housing and guts then installing new bearings and such, if necesary. I would not use...

    u joint?

    It always helps when your in the middle of a major intersection pushing the truck by yourself and everyone pulls by pointing to the 'pipe' but wont stop to help. This happened to me during rush hour and after being honked at 3 times, I took my time, and laughed at every honk...

    Replacement winch cable

    You might want to investigate your local sling shops. They might just have what you want from a spool that has already been partially used, ie., cheaper. Unless you are going to pick it up, shipping it truck freight 400+ miles is not going to be cheap. You also will get exactly what you want.

    CUCV Virgin--Need help/info on pickup

    Go to the UHaul websight and enter the towing and towed truck information. The website will tell you what size of vehicle and trailer you can use. We rented one and the M1008 will fit, barely (length and weight). You have about 5" from the back of the tire to the end of the trailer. It cost...
