I genuinely appreciate your response. However I’m not quite doing this build for completely financial reasons. It’s more of a passion project. I’m only selling the running gear to help fund the project. Nobody has ever accused me of being the most practical person in the world

Yeah I'd get your alternator looked at. Had to rebuild mine after a few connections inside melted.

Hey guys I have a M1008 and I was wondering what you guys would consider to be fair pricing on: 6.2L engine TH400 NP 208 Gear Vendors OD A little bit of background on why I'm asking is I've had the truck for a while and would like to tinker with some new drivetrains. The engine, trans, and TC...

I think you hit it on the head I was wondering about how close those lines were to that linkage and I tried to clear it but I guess I didn't do a good enough job. Thank you

I'm hoping you guys can help me with a mystery... Last night I replaced the oil cooler lines on my M1008(and took a lovely shower) This morning I was driving to work and noticed a pronounced vibration when at low rpm. I did some tests and and discovered that this happens at low rpms only while...

Thanks for all the advice. I have some free time today so I'll definitely check out the fuel system As far as I know and what the PO told me I believe the truck is 100% stock

Thanks And yeah I just found an old thread about ac60s and bypassing the resistor What do you guys think about the starting issue?

I bought the delcos but they won't plug into the harness I have no idea what are currently in my truck. For all I know they are the originals. My big problem is I think I need a new harness But I'd like more info before I drop $150 on a harness Edit: What do you mean by cascading failure?

I've recently started having some serious starting issues with my CUCV. The issue is that when starting the engine will initially turn over and briefly run and then die. It then takes about two attempts with about 30sec cranking cycles to get the engine to catch and run. I'm really not sure what...

I've been waffling on the pump rebuild Right now I'm going to test the fuel system like cpf240 suggested and then go from there And Royal had I not just named it the day before I'd have definetly gone with "rat rod/truck" or something like that

Ok Ill definitely do that, probably save me some money. In other news I found a literal rats nest under my intake manifold. It even had a mummified rat in it. Needless to say I was surprised. Edit: Sorry about the sidetrack I was just really surprised about finding a rat in my engine

Yeah, I got this truck so I could learn and get better at working with vehicles. So all of this is pretty new, but fun for me. The reason I think it is the IP is whenever I try to start the truck after its been sitting overnight it will usually take three tries and sometimes it will catch and...

Thanks for the help. How does it usually take for you guys to get your pumps rebuilt?

Ive known for a while that my injector pump on my m1008 is dying and needs help. New pumps go for around $500 which I dont have, but I've also had no luck finding a rebuild kit for them. Do you guys know where I might find one, or at the very least what parts I should track down to make one...

Did you ever get that brush guard mounted to it?

Awesome, I was looking for that part last night I'm always a little intimidated by electrical problems, way too many ways it could go wrong So thanks for all the help guys

Thanks again Update: the truck seems to have magically repaired itself. I'm happy but now I'm nervous about where and when that problem will surface again Edit: **** I forgot about the TMs I've been meaning to print them out and store them in the truck

Thanks for the replies. Yes the truck is still 24 volt. We tried starting it in neutral and that didn't work. I also hit the starter with a rubber mallet a few times. It seems like there's no signal going to the start systems. I still find it really weird that it was working fine 4 hours ago and...

Ok here's the deal, before now the truck ran near perfectly(just a little starting trouble). Everything seemed fine. However today (as in like 15 mins ago) the truck refuses to start. Here's what happens: Turn key to pos 1: dash lights turn on and radio turns on Turn key to start pos: absolutely...
