    6.0/4L80E swap in my M1008

    The motor and 4L80e from justchevytrucks shows up next week! ColoradoK5 may be a better place to ask this, but the question is; if I move the engine forward 2" can I mount the 4L80e in the same location as the TH400 and not change my drivelines?

    Strange Cab on M37

    Check this M37 out. I went and checked it out. Real clean driver. Needs some small details sorted out. The cab is killing it for me. Reportedly a period international cab chopped and placed on the M37 tub. What do you all think?

    Non Isolated Ground Alternator

    I have a M1008 that has two dead alternators and a dead starter. I have a 12v starter from another build. I don't want to discuss the whole pros and cons of converting, but I am going to convert this truck to 12v. Can I use a non isolated ground alternator for the passenger side alternator...

    Decisions on M1008

    I am considering converting to 12 volt. I am having ALT problems on my M1008. I bought a new ALT of ebay and installed it on the passenger side. I checked out the drivers side and all is well. I am having a similar experience to this thread...

    Solargizer?

    Solargizer, are they worth it on a M1008? Has anyone had any luck or bad luck with these? Are you all mounting them on the hood like on GMV's?

    12V Starter on M1008

    I searched and discovered previous posts on this problem. I recently had a starter replaced on my M1008 and I think a 12volt was put on. I have not had any problems yet but would like to fix it quick before I do. I think I am just going to go ahead and do the 12V conversion. Does anyone have...

    Wheel Spacer/Adapter Fiasco

    Well, had a little problem today. Last night, I put 4 38x12.50 swamper sx's on H1 wheels on my m1009. I used 2" adapters/spacers to get the backspacing right on the truck. Last night, testing it out, I got a little death wobble. Nothing too bad though. Today, driving around by my house...

    12V Winch

    I recieved a Warn 12V 15000lb winch for a song and a dance. I know about "how bad" it is to run 12V things off a 24V system. I have searched on here for the best way to hook it up with little luck. I also emailed Warn about a replacement motor and controller. It was like 700 dollars for...

    No start M1008

    My newly aquired M1008 will not start. It ran fine for a month and appears to be in great condition. It turns over but will not fire up. The voltage read low so I tried recharging the batteries to no avail. I then noticed when I was attempting to crank it, one of the batteries was sparking...
