    M1008 Upper Oil Line Replacement - Video Link

    If you live in cold climate area, it is wise to keep tranny oil route thru radiator. In winter radiator also warming oil.

    M1008: Please help to understand wiring - some questions (Full wiring replacement with non-original)

    This definitely not original part. Fuel shuts off from injection pump - thick (orange?) wire to IP.

    Harmonic Balancer

    Marcus - in my case, this part is not NOS, it is "genuine GM original equipment" https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=2005398&cc=1050691&pt=5512&jsn=641 And i find explanation about that labeling here...

    Harmonic Balancer

    thanks guys, Delco it is then. There is Dorman too, in rockauto, but i had pretty bad memories about their steering pumps and alternators some times ago. :evil: Front seal change is good hint - mine is OK but sure, when we are there, why not to do that too. Fluiddampr is probably overkill for my...

    Harmonic Balancer

    yes, this GM OEM is ACDelco, balancer will be new of course. About crank pulley i asked where to find it and is used (and straight of course) will be OK.

    Harmonic Balancer

    Old thread but still relevant (like most here). Today i saw that crank pulley on my ´86 M1009 is wobbling ca 1.5mm. So time to change it and when already there, also harmonic balancer. 63k miles and sure it looks original. Is this GM OEM kosher...

    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

    Well, i may be wrong, but i always did coolant change this way: drain from radiator (easiest to remove lower hose,if you have large pan); if engine have drain plugs, from there too; fill system with destilled water, run some 5 minutes; drain again; fill with proper coolant mix. But this is your...

    12 year old coolant must be changed. It is not french wine. But when you drain coolant from radiator, there still left lots of it in engine. But great reading, great job!

    Too Late shift problem

    Chevymike, it works great - maybe i expaining it wrong (sorry, english is not my language) but when i had problems with my weak vacuum pump, my oldtimer transmission repair guy advised to discard this vacuum thingy on IP (again, cant say what it is, in my language it is vaakumkorrektor :) )...

    When your laws go crazy, you always can register car in other EU country, who dont f**** you. :)

    Too Late shift problem

    When waiting new pump, you just can connect vacuum lines together and drive. Gear changes will be wery soft and un-noticeable.

    Ah, good to know. TH400 is in good working order, so it stays. Aux cooler and tranny temp gauge are on next list. No, i have my Eldorado, if i want quiet ride. But some insulation isnt bad thing. Thanks!

    700R4 Swap Into M1009

    OK, finally got tach and installed. You guys are right - at 110kmh (68mph) by GPS rpm-s are ca. 2150. Noise is high but seems that this can be reduced with hood and firewall insulation. And my old BFG KO-s are not quietest tires also. Tried to swap air filter opening to drivers side, as...
