I had the exact same thing happen on my M1008 - ended up being a bad ground. Check all of the grounds in the headlight circuit and under the dash (clean to bare metal & reset), especially the headlight switch as the shell of the switch grounds itself to the dash. I did it all at once so I don't...

I had a GV on my 1008 until i swapped in a 4L80. The only problem i had was that sometimes it would engage, sometimes not. I found out that the controller was sensitive to voltage fluctuations, and when the plugs would cycle, the 12v source would drop to 9-10v. I fixed it by putting a switch on...

I got this one a few months ago. Looked brand new from the outside but had two dead cylinders. Tore it down and found two bent pushrods and some water damage in the heads. The cylinders still had hone marks and rockers had lithium grease on them - fresh assembly lube everywhere. took it down to...

Here is a pic of my 4L80E installed. I never did a write up, but it installed fairly easy. x2 on the dipstick tube - it was a son of a gun to get it to fit. I used the OptiShift controller with their stock diesel tune. I mounted the TPS on a bracket on the throttle body, opposite side of the...

Gate 1 is on the East side of the installation. Take I-565 to the Southbound 231/431 exit. Stay South on 231 around 4 miles and Exit West on Martin Road. Martin Road leads directly into Gate 1. Once you get through the gate, DRMO and GL is on Warehouse Road (left exit off Martin Road, 1 mile...

Finished the 4L80e swap. Runs and drives fantastic.

I did a quick 180 grit sand, hit with some leftover primer sealer from another project, and shot it with a gallon of Sherwin WIlliams green CARC and a cheapie HF gun. I got lucky though - I got the paint for $40 a gal because the shelf life had expired the month before. Got all three colors, but...

Here is one on the day we came out of Iraq during DS/DS, I am standing BY my CUCV, but it's out of frame. Does a HEMMIT count? Almost 21 years ago to the day...

Just picked this up today. Yellow tagged (serviceable) but missing dataplate. Even came with a box of installation parts - seals, tubes, etc. I will be pulling the T400/GV OD off the 1008 putting it in after I get it checked out. $220.

I know when the tornadoes hit last year, gas was rationed when even available. I could always find diesel. In a pinch, you could always scrounge JP4/5, home heating oil or kerosene.

Mine pulled down a house (what was left of it...) after last year's tornado...

I was worried about that on mine, too. Until I can fab up a more permanent bracket, I made a temporary one out of 1/16" x 3/4" flat steel. I drilled the top and bolted it to one of the bed crossovers with enough room for adjustment. the bottom of the bracket is wide enough to run the rear seal...

I would also recommend the ferry - I took it from Haines to Seattle when I PCS'd. Slept in a bag on the observation deck for 4 nights so I didn't have to rent a room. Not sure if they still let you do it or not, but it was a lot of fun at the time. I took the trip in early March and there was...

You might want to check your hinge bushings, also. If they are worn, the door will sag a little and the door will smack the striker if it is in the original position. Also, since it is cold, the weatherstrip won't conform to the door as easy as it would if it is warmer, making the doors hard to...

Strange - I never put fluid in mine, nor did I read anything in the manual referencing it. I would assume (always a dangerous thing) that fluid would enter from the xfer case since the tail housing is removed. Also, mine has no drain plug - it does have a vent port with a brass hose fitting at...

I did it myself. It was one of the ebay kits - two part base/hardener with rubber filler. I sprayed it over the bedrail and tailgate. Two gallons laid down good thick coat. I have three other trucks sprayed commercially and it is very comparable to linex

Crap. I didn't even notice it. Thanks.

After reading a few posts about starter brackets, I figured I needed to check mine. Sure enough, it was missing. Checked the local dealer and gmpartsdirect.com - no joy. So I fabbed one up this weekend out of 1" angle, 7" long. Made 2 20 degree cuts 2" apart, heated the bend line and bent...

Seems like a rusty floor pan waiting to happen - as if they need any help...

I put a 2" shackle flip/spring lift in and there is more angle than normal, but not bad. I would wait to cut the driveshaft until you have the lift in, because the dimensions will change. Also, per the installation guide, the unit uses a specific GM synthetic fluid that is quite pricey - like...
