    Trying to fix issues on new to me M1008 - now won't start

    Change the fluid and filter. But the truth of the matter is the seals are brittle like fresh potato chips and the transmission needs to be rebuilt. Don't try and cut corners and do it half assed. You could save a bit of cash and take it in and out yourself. But yes the transmission is slowly...

    The passenger side floorboard gets water when coming from the footwell vent (?) when it is driven in the rain, so I need to take off those interior panels and see how that can be fixed. My guess from afar is the windshield is leaking in the lower pinch weld. I would remove the windshield and...

    https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ECHAR746 Just bought one 2 weeks ago. They are still available. May be an order item but still available. Good Luck. I don't recall the CUCV having a neutral safety switch. Only a place on the switch to start in park and neutral. But no wire on the B/U switch on...

    Trying to fix issues on new to me M1008 - now won't start

    Sounds like a combination of bad weak amperage batteries and a bad starter. you can change all the relays. Still won't fix the issue just add more mystery to the equation. Then the TM's that are always so highly recommended here become starter paper for the wood fire. If you remove /unplug the...
