Hi cpf240!
Hummmm....... Ok...... :shrugs: Going to go try to look up the TM to see what bracket you are talking about :confused:
I know I read somewhere in the sticky's... or the wiki... that some of them had a bracket and there being two possible styles or something...
I Didn't know that...
Hi cucvrus! I actually have a Wilson starter ordered, it's coming UPS to my house. I need to get this truck back running asap as it's my daily driver. Our other truck (99' dodge) is not to reliable... had a whole host of problems with it lately....
However, if I can still fix this starter, I...
Really?! I did not know that. I'll try the search to find the part number.
Thanks Warthog [thumbzup]
And yes, if the engine block had broke.... that would have been Extremely Bad :shock:
Just wanted to post a quick update:
I took the starter off today... before it started snowing [thumbzup]
And I found that on the back side of the starter (side that faces against the block) that the entire ear on the starter, where the bolt goes through, had broke. The entire corner piece fell...
Hi Warthog!
Yes the truck is still 24 volt.
Still has the original starter, I'm going to take it off in the morning... depending on the weather.
Once I get it off and clean it up a bit, I'll know exactly what I've got.
Thanks for the info on ASP Wholesale, once I'm sure about what I've...
Ok, so I keep searching, and I was finally able to find two part numbers for the 6.2 CUCV starter, in the CUCV Wiki.... (I thought it would be in the FAQ/Sticky section instead...)
#1 is the AC Delco # 1113591
#2 Is the number for the Wilson # WIL 91-01-4376
The Wiki also said the Wilson...
OK.......
From what I have been able to find and read, it is suggested to have a starter rebuilt instead of buying a 'cheap store brand'.
Only problem is, I am way out in the country. The closest town with even an actual autoparts store (napa, oreilies, autozone, etc) is about 30 miles from...
hummm... guess I shouldn't use a maxi fuse in place of a fusible link in the starting circuit....
Oh well, have to read the gauges and see if I have the right fusible link wire, if not I'll have to pick up the right sizes when I'm able to make it to an autoparts store.
Hope nothing else goes...
Agreed richingalveston, I figured it must be the starter, there just wan't much else left with no other bad wires or other problems found. Its just a starter usually gives some other symptoms or warning, this one didn't do anything, just plain out died.
I was going to get ready to pull it off...
Good Afternoon Everyone!
Have a problem with our 1986 M1008..... been trying to figure it out, and have been searching here on SS. I'm usually pretty good with electrical issues... But this time, I'm not sure what exactly what the problem is....
A little quick history:
Bought this truck a...
Yes It is a Major Pain... Literally sometimes.
I actually intentionally peeled all the loose chrome off of mine just to 'reduce' the chance of getting stuck or cut by it again.
Just another reason to go with straight black... plus it looks better anyway :driver:
Got mine ordered BTW from Rock...
I suck with the TM's! They make me want to do this -> aua
But I did try to find this in the TM's before I started this thread, but didn't get anywhere. I guess I need to just buy a paper back set or print them out or something, for my M1008 and my Deuce both. Don't need them often, but when...
Thanks A lot Keith! I was looking on the other online stores, but didn't know about Rock Auto, hadn't come across them yet.
That is at least a little better price. All of the other stores that I found were either the same or much higher than Classic Parts.
And I like the black better than the...
Looks like if I want the correct one, Classic Parts apparently has the best price on the actual GM part.
Doesn't look like dorman or anyone else makes the correct one, they all make only the one With Delay/Pulse Wipers.
Thanks for the Part Numbers and Links antennaclimber. That is Exactly what I am looking for....
but a 'crappy reproduction' for $10 would have been good enough for me :smile:
But... I would rather have one marked correctly, so I might have to break down and pay up, if I can't cross the part...
Hey All,
I have an 1986 M1008, and I just replaced the dimmer (high beam) switch. While I was at it I wanted to replace the Turn Signal / Multi-fuction / Combination (or whatever other name it is listed under) Lever, as the plastic is cracked.
However, I have searched all of the major...
rofl :popcorn:
Sounds like your horn circuit is grounding to your headlight circuit somehow.
When I first got my M1008, the horn sounded like a toy car, it was really high pitch, and really low.
Since then, it has gotten much louder, but it is still really high pitch. Its funny, but it...
Wish I had figured out that the headlight dimmer switch ( high beam / bright light switch ) was UNDER the dash....
BEFORE I went and pulled the steering wheel, lock ring (without a lock ring compressor tool - made a tool but it was a lot harder), and everything else in there, only to have to put...
