Been too busy with other projects to do much with my 1008 but now kinda have to. Returned a plate compactor to the rental shop and before I got a mile away headed home had no brakes. Today looked for a leak, couldn't find it, even with someone pushing the brake pedal. Started the truck and had...

Thanks guys, I'll add a new converter to the cost. I had planned on flushing the cooler and replacing the lines anyway so that parts covered. Still highly unlikely I'll be able to afford to have my tranny rebuilt, that's why I was looking at low mileage used. I already had to start paying for...

So to go with my transmission blown post, what's the chance the converter has been contaminated with debris in the fluid? Is there a drain plug on these ones? I may have a line on a low mileage Jasper rebuild.

I thought the SM465 had the same 3rd gear ratio, could have been mistaken. I do believe the output shafts are different though as they were usually in front of NP205. As for a rebuild, we cut things extremely tight here as it is with expenses so that's not going to happen.

Trashed my transmission today. Outfrigginstandin! Left it's mark at a Dr appointment today so topped it off. By time I was half way home it dumped everything on I81. Wife brought a bunch of fluid to me to limp it home, figuring it was blowing from the pump area. It was talking crap to me and...

Wow!! Hope all is going to be ok with you. That other driver better hope he had good insurance! Take care of yourself in the hospital!

Finally got new boots for the pig this week and just in time for the 4th. Probably needing to retire my flag, it's getting pretty tattered after all these years. She's an old one. Best I can tell it was made at least 70 years ago. Has 48 stars and an extensive internet search has revealed an...

There's a set on ebay now but they are for the short injectors on later trucks and almost $300 shipped. So far all I've found on other diesel sites are also for newer engines, but they state they can be "tweeked" at the injector end to fit the older engines. I'll venture around a couple junk...

Haven't drivin my 08 in a while seems the tires are shot but I did take it a few miles away to look over a trailer that someone put up for sale. Everything looked M101A1, but something just didn't look right to me. Three hours searching pictures and it finally clicked. It's an earlier M101, has...

Stock bed but definitely an unusual place to nest. It's the forward spring perch. I didn't see it there a few days ago when I went to pick up a finish mower for my tractor and haven't noticed mother Robin being near the truck. I'm hoping I'm just not seeing her. Will be checking tonight when it...

Nope, would have been much bigger and I can't bend over that far to get under there lmao :-D

What have I done with my CUCV today? Nothing, not that I can unless I toss this nest. What a place to lay an egg. Passenger rear spring perch :???:

Unfortunately nothing good to report here. Gelled up my 08 the last cold spell we had, knew it was going to be well below zero and forgot to put an additive in the fuel. Oh well, maybe I'll remember next time lol. Been trying to limp my front axle along till this spring, it's in serious need of...

Nice! Why go half way lol. I had that happen to an NP205 on Rt17 in Binghamton once, at highway speed. What a racket that made, and cars scattering to miss parts. Oooops... I'm replacing Gen 1 for the 3rd time. There's a plate on the backside of the front case that holds the bearings in place...

I ended up doing some unintended trouble shooting yesterday. Headed off to our property to get some more work done the belt started squealing again, 30 seconds later the gen1 light came on and the belt went beneath the truck, lasted all of 4 days I think. After closer looking, it appears the...

Well, driver's side alt belt is new again, 3 days old. And had to adjust it for the second time today. After reading some old posts, what the heck is it with CUCVs and bent crank pulley's??? My balancer is running good and true but the crank pulley is all out of sorts. It's not loose but it's...

It's not that these are bad, the paint has been worn off in sections. Once painted and sealed up this wont be a problem any more. I don't think I have any splinters showing anywhere, and they are strong for sure. Much better than having wood slats. I'll continue to use these until I locate one...

The slats on my '08 are 3@ 35 1/8" and 3@ 44 7/8" per side. Prime and paint those thing too, they are the devil! Every time I'm in the back of my truck doing something I rub my arms and the fiberglass and pay for it the next couple days. I gotta get mine painted lol. The guy I bought my '08 from...

That thought passed my mind but the mechanical pumps last plenty long. Besides that electric pumps I see locally are more geared towards hot rodding, like the big Holley pumps, or have too small inlet/outlets. I'm sure I could have ordered one but my patients is thin when it comes to needing...

What have I done to my CUCV today? With head hung low, we towed her home :( Wife and I were on a leisurely drive over the back roads to some property we will be moving to, pulled up to a stop sign and she quit. Been running good but looked close on fuel, I was goig to stop to get fuel anyway...
