I put a massive cooler and temp gauge in still when it gets to 160 reverse does not engage unless high rpm. Swapped trans yesterday for a used/rebuilt HD with around 20k on it. When I took mine out found it had been replaced some point in its service history. Interesting they replaced the...

I changed filter fluids, checked all vacuum lines, all seem good but did find low vacuum at the modulator valve about 6-8 inches. Good vacuum at pump just drops off trans side of vacuum valve, valve is adjusted all the way open. Could low vacuum be causing reverse to not engage when trans is...

Having issues with my transmission. have a 84 m1008 that now has about 45k on it, got it 3 years ago with 22K. When out plowing for 2-3 hours reverse will only engage at high rpms (slipping). It only does it when the truck has been plowing for several hours straight, no other issues in any...

dstang97, I will post some pics before end of weekend, and yes i got the mount from the guy in western ma, he's got chevy truck addiction, is a wealth of knowledge about these old ones and has at least one cucv. he lists parts on craigs from time to time. Very nice honest guy.

I got the plow mounted with no issues. Mounting: the mount fit fine just had to remove the D rings and the frame extensions that they mount them on. Did not need to remove brush guard. Wiring: no issues when I got the box I thought oh **** because it is a box half the size of a foot locker...

LTA03660 thats the one I have, even called boss they said "your on your own" they had heard of them being used on our trucks but had no idea what I had to do. I will know more this week when i put it in the air.

I have the boss undercarriage and it does not bolt up like to the civy trucks. I am going to put it on the lift early next week and will get it mounted but it is going to need mods. I will try and remember to get pictures.

Looking for info on mounting a boss frame on the m1008. Boss part for frame for these year chevys is LTA03660. I looked under the truck and does not look like a straight bolt up. Anyone have a boss on their cucv and tackled these issues yet? Thanks for any info and help. Matt

anyone else seems like finding the right add a leafs is going to be more difficult then I thought due to the 3 inch wide spring packs.

I think ORD is a bit more $$$ than I was looking to spend. Any other ideas out there?

Anyone know where I can get 2" add a leafs for the m1008. I see some on ebay but they are 2.5" wide, will that work in the 3" wide packs under the m1008? thanks

your starter I just repaired my starting system today. Truck was running awesome, than next morning turn key, everything works as it should, turn to start position and does not turn over. Tested all batts, and starter (which is two months old high torque job) everything good. There is a...

which end of the return line is the glass bead of mystery located?

what is the glass ball in the return fitting? where is it located? at the IP in the return line?

Have replaced lift pump and no change. When cold even after cycling the plugs cranks over with nothing, not even a sputter, glow plugs cycle again and then cranks and fires. Cold advance is working. Is there a possibility of fuel drainback?

I will be replacing the lift pump, $23.00 and will post the outcome.

My m1008 had a engine miss, and then the fuel shut off switch stopped working, so I took apart the injection pump and found it full of metal filings. Changed the pump with a high quality rebuild, new lines, new injectors, replaced the fuel filter base/filter, new golow plugs. Bleed the system...

thanks for the link, it was what I was looking for.
