This screws right into the radiator?

Does anybody know what thread sizes are the fittings that connect the aluminium lines to the radiator? And also the fittings that connect the aluminium lines to the rubber hoses going to the filter

Just removed the fan shroud and soon found out that the o-rings are not the problems, the aluminium lines are dirty up until 60% of the way, time to pull them out and have them re-made For the o-rings, I found some 013 size (which should be the correct size, 0.426 ID and 0.07 section) oil...

Yeah if they hooked the oil lines to a cooler there has to be a reason. The lines connected to the block are actually dry and clean, the problem resides in the two aluminium lines that run across the radiator, I’ll start by changing the 4 o-rings at the connections, if that doesn’t fix it, I’ll...

Looked around some forums and thought about one thing: what about bypassing the cooler and just looping the two ports at the oil filter assembly? Would that overheat the oil too much? Keep in mind that the hottest summer day here rarely touches 100*F

I'll try to check and replace the o rings, but probably while i'm there, since they are known to crack, i'll have them re-made out of steel Thanks for all the help, I'll keep you updated in case I stumble across additional troubles

I do have a trusty hydraulic/hoses making shop nearby so I could go and ask them hoping they can make one, for sure they can copy the fittings, length and curves and craft a steel one, not sure about a cooling aluminium one

So you say that replacing the stock aluminium lines with some rubber or even steel lines could cause the oil to overheat? I live in Italy so hot summer days could touch or even go slightly above 100 F

Hi everyone, M1008 owner here, just noticed a pretty annoying oil leak on the passenger side of the aluminum oil cooler lines that run across the radiator, behind the fan shroud, I still have to determine which one is leaking (if not both). Looked around the internet to find a pair to buy and...

So, since it's pretty clear that the kit has been installed, and the only way forward is to take the valve body out and inspect it, can I remove the VB while the tranny is still in the vehicle? Wouldn't the checkballs just fall out?

I actually do have a np205 in it, twin stick, and a GV unit that’s probably what’s suffering the most. Regarding the kit number, there is no documentation left in the box, maybe I could look for a receipt, other than that there is a VHS with manuals and stuff.

This is what’s left of the kit

By harsh I mean it chirps tires while getting out of 1st gear, and gives a solid kick while getting out of 2nd. Shifting range doesn’t seem to change much in relation to throttle position. I’ll send a pic of the stuff left in the TransGo kit EDIT: the tires are some beefy 37’s

'85 M1008 new owner here, I have had her for about a week now and I'm getting pretty worried by the harsh and late shifts that the tranny is doing, almost like as if the vacuum modulator isn't getting vacuum/isn't working, because no matter the engine load, the tranny shifts out of 1st at about...

Yeah I contacted the previous previous owner and he confirmed that it's a add-on overdrive unit, didn't specify the maker but I don't think that anyone other than GV makes such things

That's a hint, the GV unit, I'll check under the truck for it next time I'll see it.

Also, I’m not certain about it being a NP205, I’m just saying that based on the fact that it has a dual stick system

I’m not excluding that possibility, but what unit would need an external switch to engage overdrive?

Yeah that was my first thought as well, one thing that it's wired up to is a little green LED light on the right side of the dash, but that's about it, didn't look deeply under the truck yet

Hi everyone, Just got my hands on a '85 M1008, seems to run good and basically everything seems to be in good running order. One thing that struck me and didn't really quite understand, is a supposed "overdrive switch" that the previous owner wired up into a floor switch near the pedals that...
