I ended up putting in about the same amount of ATF in mine

How much ATF did you have to add Dr...?

Fired it up today and loaded up for the dump. Zipped down Route 66 like a champ. Ill order some metal lines this spring......

OMG! The contagion is spreading! CUCV tranny line vaccine must be administered throughout the Steel Soldiers network....! I agree completely they could have waited for fairer weather..... As soon as spring has sprung I'll be replacing mine with metal....

Ended up putting in a rubber hose for now. It works, no leaks. I agree metal is best. Too much mud and snow to work under the truck right now. Ill be looking for a complete new set of lines to replace my patch job. Thanks everyone for the tips

Well I cut and installed the new union on one of the lines. While I was cutting I nicked the second line....so I installed a new union to the second line....Found a pin hole leak on the second line just forward of the new union.....drat! Looks like Ill have to splice a small section on the...

**** antilock brakes!

Off to the hardware store it is! Don't touch that dial! More forthcoming..... Thanks

Thanks Dr. I think I may have to go that route. I'm having a devil of a time finding replacement lines. Are those lines 3/8" OD or 5/16"?

The plot thickens! The snow melted enough and I threw a tarp under the truck and crawled underneath. What I thought were rubber lines were in fact the metal cooling lines covered in grease and mud! I wiped them clean and lo and behold one of the lines had rubbed through where the cooling line...

I figured out why the lines are terminated in rubber hoses. Years ago the transmission housing cracked due to a bent drive shaft. The repair shop couldnt find the same type th400 housing so the cooler lines were modified to fit the new housing

Will do thanks!

Thanks. Yes the lines are steel from the radiator to the transmission, however one line terminates with a rubber hose secured with a hose clamp......

I came home and took a gander at the tranny. It appears the leak is coming from the rubber hose connecting line that goes from the transmission to the coolant lines. imagine it would wear out after 33 years! Anyone know what type of rubber hose to use? Fuel line ok? TIA

Add PRIST if its too cold outside!

No joy yet...Truck is in NM... Im in Fla...I'll take a gander at it when I get back

Ha! Gave it the squirts!

I though the same (motor or transfer case mounts bad) Ill crawl under there and take a gander when I get back.....

My M1008 had been running great. The other night I was forced to lock up the brakes when a semi turned in my path. Everything seemed fine but a day later I noticed an "oily" spray on the tailgate. A day later the truck started shifting strange and wouldnt move forward after stopping until I...

Did you replace the O rings? Shouldnt use the old O rings. Recheck the torque on the wheel bolts. I torqued them to 115 ft lbs I had one with a side wall puncture that only leaked when the hole was on the bottom
