Yep just funning with you a little, did not think that space was at a premium in town but if sitting alone I guess stuff would start missing.

Sticky in the Duece Forum has a breakdown that gives an idea for the basics. Good Luck!

Nice Looking Poncho! Goat?

Same here from Missouri, Welcome, Tough looking Truck.

I seem to have read a sticky somewhere on the cost of buying, owning a running truck, with all costs involved. Very good post, from CUCV to the 5 Tons. I will try to find or maybe some help from the knowing. Wow 1,200 a year to store at the North Pole? Um GASP, I would think 10 bucks a month...

Not only do you have the part on hand but saves you a trip into town, unless that is an excuse to escape the house. Now if I could organize, or take more time to put boxes of nos parts in site instead of bigger boxes to go through. Now I try to mark, inventory box to minimize locate time...

Try going threw some of the sticky's and do some research and that will get you on your way. There are a few upgrades that will improve your starting issues, as long as the required components are up to being serviceable. Welcome and spend some time reading posts and research, and read some...

Nice setup, on my 82 civi I have the dual filter setup stock. One on firewall and the second on the backside of the intake and is kind of a bastage to get to but works really well. Drock that equipment setup is far and above better. The way you setup makes doing service, maintenance easily...

Nice setup for the price. With filters?

I could not access the video sneekyeye, but did read Chaski's post about the locker. Hopefully has saved me some time, will change fluid, inspect. Thanks

Yes you could call it play? Or backlash?

I drove the 1008 today to pick up some magnetic drain plugs at parts store and got home and kind of felt a little slack in changing gear selector from drive to reverse. Shut down truck, blocked wheels, put in neutral to check u joints. Now the bad news, seems that there is a little movement in...

Very good Idea, Drock, had it happen, But down on power? Dump fuel filter in glass jar, check for contaminates.

It is funny that at some point almost everybody has experienced "Death Wobble". Most all symptoms and reasons have been addressed. Lift kits most times induce or "dramatize'' the effects, larger tires, puts increased stresses on all components and alignment is a critical part as toe in or out...

The original carburetor is a fine and good design. Even a rebuilt carb properly cleaned with new maintenance parts will perform as the new one had. Blow out air passages good, then spray cleaner again, then air, repeat. The biggest problem is the reformulated fuels mandated by the government...

rustystud is correct in my experience. 4.10 in rear 4.09 in front. Civi of course. Now being new to military vehicles they may have same in both front and rear, but 3.08 in rear and 3.07 in front on the M1009 makes me think that possibly 4.56 rear and 4.55 is in front on the M1008. I will look...

I also believe that the 500 Holley is a great fuel metering device that is very reliable and can be tailored to many applications.

When I here fuel seeping from throttle shaft area I have to wonder that is a "lot" of fuel when it sucks more air when worn. Worn throttle shaft, hard to get idle, off idle air bleeds to work properly. A lot of times when rebuilt with new needle and seat, put in without seeing if float to...

Having owned so many Chevrolet trucks, Good, Bad, Ugly, I would think to have a good knowledge of the Brand. Having four with current tags, 50, 56, 82, 85, and waiting on a plate for the 84 CUCV, I just went outside 6 degrees, and looked at the CUCV grill vs. my 85 K30 and is a match. The center...

Yes I was afraid of that Barrman, but thought that maybe the military did not want the logo for what ever reason. I now have to find out if all years are the same or are applied to year made? I have bought new grills for different years from GM as available, and one from an aftermarket, to which...
