    85 M1008 Four wheel drive / transfer case problems

    Ok, just making sure you weren't sitting in the front yard, flooring the pedal and complaining because you couldn't see grass flying from the front tires. The shift forks are inside the transfer case. Unlock the front hubs. With the parking brake set, tcase in 2wd and the truck in park...

    85 M1008 Four wheel drive / transfer case problems

    Have you confirmed it is a transfer case problem and not a front axle/lock out hub problem? I know you wrote that 4 low works and hi doesn't. How are you testing it?

    transport from Ft. Sill to Clarksville, TX

    No, not really. I just have some parts that will be going that way some time and some parts that need to come this way some time. The past two years it has worked out to a Valentines day trip to see Warthog with my wife at home. Thank fully, Valentines day is not on a weekend this year so I...

    GEN#1 light wont come on at all

    Yes, treat it with tender care and respect. Those little contact ends will fall off if you look at them wrong. I have found super glue is a great way to hold them to the circuit while you solder them back together though. You can change all the bulbs on the cluster with it in the truck. You...

    Sorry another truck wont start

    You wrote that you replaced the ends on a "bad" cable. How bad was that cable and why didn't you replace it? Giggle that cable and try to start again.

    Sizzel noise

    Watch your volt meter. Does it jump up from the middle of the yellow to the middle of the green as soon as the noise stops? That would mean to me that the noise is associated with the glow plug system turning off. Check every connection in that system by taking it off, cleaning it and putting...

    Newbie

    It will start with a truck, then a web site. Next you will be emailing and writting pm's to other members here. Pretty soon you will be talking on the phone with a few. Then making a family trip to go get parts. Family vacations across the country to pick up parts will follow. You will...

    Need help with brakes M35A2 in Austin, TX

    Check your airpack vent line. If it is full wet and just dripping fluid, then the airpack is blowing the fluid out the vent and needs a rebuild. Can you pump up the brake pedal to get pressure? Do you hear the pssst of released air after you let go of the pedal? I am only 80 miles away, but...

    transport from Ft. Sill to Clarksville, TX

    They already took your money though, right? Don't you love the way that works? There seems to be a good bit of vehicle and parts/vehicles needing to be transferred between here and OKC. We might need a plan here.

    alternator help

    This is going to sound like a snide comment, but the -20 manual troubleshooting section is where you should start. Where was the volt meter on the dash showing all the time the #2 alternator wasn't working right?

    Deuce pick up GSA lot San antonio

    Good deal. Call me anytime after 1700 central time if you want me to flat tow the thing to my place next week. I will mix up a batch of brew for the Whistler over the weekend and make a fun day of it. I will be driving the M1009 into Austin tonight for the local LSMVPA meeting. Just letting...

    alternator help

    It seems your #2 alternator might not have been working for a while now. Then, your front battery went dead which is what runs all the accessories on your truck. It could be a fuse, a broken wire, a burned fusable link, bad battery terminal, bad battery cable, loose wire at the junction block...

    Interior light

    Magnetic LED camping lights are cheap and work great too if you don't want to run wires everywhere.

    Ticking noise in cab from engine.

    Check the torque converter to flywheel bolts too. Mine made the noise at odd intervals until I pulled the cover and found one of the 6 about 1 turn loose.

    anyone know where i can find a stock fuel filter and base from?

    Depending on the housing you get. Spacing it off the fire wall might be needed. I didn't like mine when bolted to the stock mount because the filter can was just about on the valve cover. So, I removed the stock mount and used a cut off piece of M35 troop seat leg for a spacer to mount the...

    Deuce pick up GSA lot San antonio

    Will the GSA truck flat tow? If you guys really are bringing something of somebody elses to my place, then it would make sense for me to have the GSA truck at my place for you. If you aren't bringing the thing belonging to somebody else to my place, then I would be out of the way for you...

    CUCV wont start

    It reads as if yours does the same as mine. No clicking related to the light coming on and off, the truck starts right up and sometime in the first 30 seconds to 1 minute of running a click can be heard and the volt meter jumps up to the green from just below the green in the yellow. Warthog...

    anyone know where i can find a stock fuel filter and base from?

    They are ebay almost constantly. Spin ons seem to be the wave of the future though.
