    starting my cucvee!

    Especially check the rubber lines that attach the steel lines along the frame and check the rubber line to the fuel pump on the engine. Sometimes, especially when the weather turns cooler, the vacuum in the tank from the cooling fuel will pull the fuel in the lines back. Provided the check valve...

    What Model # do I use for M1008 in online auto parts stores

    As above, the K30 w/ 6.2 diesel is correct for pretty much everything except the alternators and the transfer case, but I doubt you're buying parts for the t-case.

    1008 1028 ID

    Check the NSN and GVW on the data plate and hope nobody did any fancy axle switching. The overload springs are your best bet. It's a lot of work to put those on another truck. The rest of the spring pack is the same.

    My New Motor

    Well, I wasn't feeling "knocked", and I sure ain't wealthy. I've got nothing but 6.2's, turbo'd and not... And, don't forget, those deuces will be worth more soon enough...

    Bought a M1009

    Doubtful that any truck is coming out with only 2500 miles. Probably 102,500, but there's plenty of life left in it, if it was maintained well. Find someone who can cut you a key from theirs. Or, you can search here and find the code to give to a Chevy dealer to get one cut. I hope no criminal...

    M101a2 surge brakes

    Last I heard they were only worth about $5... Basically, if you pay the shipping, I'll take it off your hands... ;)

    My New Motor

    Probably as many as that Cummins can haul around once it is tweaked and installed... ;)

    Kenworth XM1074 Test Drive

    Cool. :drool: What what is designed to haul?

    M1008 vibration

    Definitely.

    SF97 and Illinois titling (please help)

    Argue with GL until they give you an Arizona title. That's about your only option...

    M1008 vibration

    Get a new one built. The can use your ends and just weld them into a new shaft. It'll probably cost $150 or so. I think the only one that is a true direct bolt-in will come from a mid-80's 3/4-ton 4x4 with a 14-bolt full floater, like is in the M1008. Usually, big-block (or perhaps diesel)...

    Estimate the amount of lift on this truck?

    My wife said it looks like about 12"... :P

    M1007 Suburban CUCV Conversion

    It sure would look good towing a nice M101A2...;)

    My 1028 hauling a load

    The dually has the heavier Dana 70HD, but the frame and springs are the same. The Payload of the dually is 4000# (including crew - uniform distribution).

    My 1028 hauling a load

    I think he's talking about the thick gunk that orms on the inside of engines sometimes. If the engine gets idled a lot and never heated up, it can appear milky brown.

    Ft Mead pickup on 9-19 MAYBE!

    I've gone in the Rt. 32 gate several times with my pickup and car trailer to pick up stuff. Those guys don't care if you are commercial, as long as you have an ID, registration and insurance card. I was just there a couple of months ago and that's how I went in. I'll be there Wednesday...

    Radiator?

    RE: Re: RE: Radiator? Get a diesel radiator if you want the oil cooler and tranny cooler lines to line be useful. $350-$500 new at most parts houses. The gassers usually have the tranny cooler lines on the passenger side and no oil cooler fittings.

    M-1010 recovery from Portsmouth, Va. Today

    Wow, that appears to be a really clean M1010! Good score!

    why an NP208 in m1008?

    Cost... 40,000 more NP-205's would have driven the contract cost up significantly. GM had a much better supply system for the 208, since it was used in the 1/2 and 3/4-ton trucks, production of which far out-numbered 1-ton production.

    leaking Model 80 fuel filter base

    Where's it leaking from? Are you sure it's not just the pressure switch. VERY common problem...
