I had the bright idea of proving everybody wrong and patching up my rusted out CUCV with crappy welds and marine epoxy. Today I was chasing down some wiring gremlins and getting it ready for safety inspection and noticed a brand new crack running halfway down the windshield on the side where I...

Oops. Just about to install the oil pump and put the pan back on but looked to my left and there's three extra bolts sitting on the ground and have no idea where they go. Is there a list somewhere of fastener sizes so I can reverse look them up? Trying to do things the right way for once.

I'm following along in the procedure to change rear main seal as per 3-34 in TM 9-2320-289-34. Rope seal disintegrated and there's a couple inches stuck up in there. Sneaky Pete has gone as far as he can go and no luck pushing it out with trimmer line/plastic push rods, so I loosened all the...

I've searched but can't find the part numbers for stock m1008. I called auto parts stores and asked if they had spicer 1350 and they don't have a way to cross reference it. Plus they refer to 1350 as a 'series' so it may have different sizes? At this point I just want to drive around again...

On my quest to make my m1008 more respectable I decided to attack the gunk that was bogging things down when I got below 1/4 tank. Also had an issue with bogging when driving up medium size hills at highway speeds and hoping this would be cured as well. Dropped the tank and put it back in...

I'm gonna start calling it the WTF light here pretty soon. Also Gen 2 light is coming on when the key is in the ignition before cranking but remains off after that. Just did two new head gaskets so I may have put something back wrong. Checked the alternator wires like 20x. Fuses and fusable...

I just changed the head gaksets on my 86 M1008 and go the thing almost all the way back together but the plastic electrical stuff is all crumbly and falling apart so I'm taking extra precautions to make sure everything is where it should be. I'm down to the ground strap on the alternator and...

I'm too lazy to replace the starter and go through the trouble of converting to 12v, at least for now. I know there are some drawbacks of 24v but are there advantages?

I'm new to the forum and did a couple of searches on getting the repair manual for the 89 m1008 I just purchased (tons of Island Cancer but only 34k and pretty good mechanical shape). I am just about to print out the almost 1000 page pdf at Kinkos using double sided printing to cut it town to...
