How is the intake drone/noise with the Donaldson air filter? I'm not impressed with the S&B 6.5 intake I put on, granted it is better than the stock N/A 6.2 drone but still gets annoying.

Yeah it is right next to the glow plug solenoid. Or run it from the + of the first battery (check for it to have 12v). And something like this is what you’ll have to do for wiring the controller.

If you’re adding trailer brakes I’m assuming you’ll need a brake controller which means you’ll need to run the power in the cab first. For mine I tapped into the 12v block on the motor side of the firewall and ran it from there into the cab to the controller and then back out down the frame rail...

The first forum grouping on the Steel Soldiers mainpage has all of the manuals for everything you need! https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-cucv.77609/

Go into the TM's and you'll find the OEM part number, from there you should be able to cross reference different suppliers.

I second what cucvrus has said on changing the brake cables. I never noticed any issues on my m1008 with the parking brake releasing but upon disassembly the cables were still pretty stiff. And this is on an m1008 that had 0 rust. New cables made big improvement. I've been fighting seized...

Most likely the issue won’t be this simple, but my Gen 1 light started coming on when turning on the blower on my m1008. I don’t remember if the blower stopped working or not. It ended up being that the fuse spades were getting a little corroded, I swapped a new fuse and everything worked the...

Unfortunately my M1008 did not come with the factory jack and I want to obtain a replacement. I have seen used OEM ones for sale online, however, is there a better alternative that anyone has come up with? I'm not worried about it being original if it has better functionality. I typically...

LMC sells a "diesel" gauge cluster for our trucks. I can't say on sender compatibility to what you have but the cluster comes with the oil and temp senders that could be easily swapped. The LMC cluster also has a tach so you should be able to get that working as well. Price isn't cheap so I'm...

It's the other way around, 208 is chain while 205 is gear. No problem :ROFLMAO:

I saw those as well, I hope they work better

Were the heads of the 2004 GEP vintage as well? I'm surprised you found cracks in the heads, I thought they had resolved the cracking problems by then.

This is out of the 84/85 civilian truck brochure, even for the 6.2 diesel it shows the NP205 for the K30. I fully agree that the NP208 is more than capable of handling the power the 6.2 puts out but just wondering why they chose to make the M1008s differently.

Curiosity has gotten the best of me and figured if anyone would know it would be here, but why do the M1008s come with the NP208 transfer case vs the NP205? Typically everything else lines up with a standard civy K30 (which is inherently what the truck is), however for the biggest difference in...

Most likely you will have to find a used one, either eBay or give Hillbilly wizard a call.

If you go down that path please share what you do as I’ve been debating this as well!

Sections 3-10/11 and 3-21/22 of TM 9-2320-289-34 will have what you need, and yes the front of the oil pan does bolt to the crankcase cover. You can replace the water pump without removing the crank case cover. Section 3-48

Are you doing both sides or just the passanger side head gasket? For just the passenger side you’d be able to get by with leaving the motor in but it still sucks doing it that way. It took me ~3 hours just to pull the motor which is definitely worth doing if you’re doing both gaskets. Maybe an...

How’s the belt/tension? I’ve had that happen where it was slipping just a hair and it made the light come on

Disregard that post, that part# is for an M1008 not M1009.
