I used 15674368, the number that GM gave me, and had my cucv M1008 on the road in 10 minutes. It was a little long, not short, so I cut it to the right size and crimped on an end plug, and that WAS IT.
I have a 1986 M1008 pickup.. When the motor is off, I can reach in and spin the fan with my hand. It seems to spin free. I it supposed to do this??? Or is something broken?
I am having trouble visualizing the plate with 6 bolts that needs to be removed to set the starter clearance. Is the plate facing the ground, and has metal transmission hoses running across it? If this is it, mine looks like it is held on by 2 out of the 6 bolts. It is pretty big, correct?
I spent 6 hrs extracting the broken bolts from the block, and putting on a new starter, this time with attachment to the bracket. This is a new style gear reduction starter on a 1986 M1008. I had a lot of difficulty getting the starter installed. Finally I found to start with all of the...
Let me add the details: 1986 M1008, with new style reduction gear starter.
Is it reasonable to put some loctite on the starter bolts to keep them from getting loose?
Last night I was down at the beach, went to start my truck, and heard a lound bang, then a high pitched wine. I found the starter hanging by the cable. Both bolts sheared and left the ends in the block. I didnt see a bracket attached.
1) why does this happen
2) whats the best way to remove...
I have a 1986 M1008 CUCV and I need to flush the radiator. It seems very difficult to get to the petcock, let alone open it. What is the trick?? What color radiator fluid do I use? What is the procedure to do the flush?
If its broken, and you cant buy one, and you dont have a junkyard behind your house, it isnt hubub. I was driving on the freeway at 55 mph, and the traffic stopped in front of me. I took my foot off of the gas pedal and still felt the truck accelerating, while the gas pedal was laying on the...
Putting on an endcap is pretty darn simple. You can buy the cheap version of a crimper for about $10. I get my tools and hardware from aircraft hardware supply stores, my other hobby, or you can find stuff on ebay. Or even simpler, you can use an adjustable endcap that has a thumbscrew to...
It took me 20 minutes to put on throttle cable 15674368 from gmpartsnation.com. It is not the original part, but it fits. There was a little extra slack in the cable, which can be remedied by cutting off the endcap at the gas pedal, pulling the slack through, and putting on a new swage endcap...
gmpartsgiant.com comes through for me with a new throttle cable for my M1008 pickup, 15674368. I also was able to order a newclip.The got it to me in 2 days. I paid for second day air, and noticed they had sent it overnight shipping. Way cool.
Here is the deal, this is not the original...
Ordered the 15674368 cable from gmpartsnation.com - its in stock. ( gmpartsnation.com had the fastest estimated arrival times-3 days, in stock at their Nevada Mega warehouse) . Other people like newgmparts.com also have it, but are slower with the shipping. Noticed this cable is supposed to...

I talked to a person at Chevrolet. He asked me if I had a CUCV M1008, the first time I actually talked to somebody who understood what kind of vehicle I had. He gave me this part number: 15674368
You wont be able to find it at any part sore like NAPA, OReilly, etc, but a lot...
