    80's Wiper technology sux

    Park switch? Like to tell the wipers they are at the bottom? Only one speed works. I don't feel a good click for the high speed function. The mist function also doesn't work. I have to turn the switch off at the right time for the wipers to stop at the bottom of the windshield. From what I can...

    Emergency brake

    Mine is definitely a 1-ton frame. I have the longer leave springs in the rear, the reinforments in the front for lifting the truck onto cargo ships, and the partial VIN in the frame is the M1008 CUCV (1.25-ton).

    So it just floats?

    80's Wiper technology sux

    Thanks for the detailed reply. It's not the bulkhead connector, I just did a painless wiring harness last year. I don't see where it would ground through a tab. I also don't understand why there are two connectors that go into the wiper motor for a total of five wires.

    80's Wiper technology sux

    I wish I could figure out what is going on with my wipers. I only have one speed and it is pretty slow. I've tried the stalk with the delay and without it. Only one speed. Any thoughts on where to start? Is there a motor resistor like the blower?

    Emergency brake

    I don't think I am supposed to have the W crossmember. I think that's another part of the hodgepodge that gave me a SM465 transmission. The truck should have had a TH400 and this crossmember. I tried to fit the W member inside the frame rails and was not successful.

    Emergency brake

    My truck is a hodgepodge of parts from an 86 M1008, 86 K10, and the axles are out of a ~74 K10. I'm not really sure I'm missing anything. Just don't know if it's supposed to be bolted or riveted to the frame.

    Parking Brake Routing

    Does anyone have photos of how the emergency brake cable and bracket is routed/attached to the frame? My truck has had the cable dangling and anchored with zip ties since I got it. I'm missing the L bracket directly behind the rear most item 4 as far as I can tell. I essentially have 7 zip tied...

    I'm missing the L bracket directly behind the rear most item 4 as far as I can tell. I essentially have 7 zip tied to the frame.

    NP208 Speedo Driven Gear Needed

    I need to replace the slip yoke and seal anyway at the output shaft. How much effort is it to remove the rear housing? Any internal snap rings or anything that prevents it from sliding off? I know the drive gear has a little snap ring on it.

    NP208 Speedo Driven Gear Needed

    Assuming the np208 has the same gears as the 700R4 I cannot get the speedometer correct without changing the drive gear. Even then I would need a new housing and the smallest driven gear.

    NP208 Speedo Driven Gear Needed

    15, 40.

    NP208 Speedo Driven Gear Needed

    Right. The CUCV would have had 4.56 gears. The V6 had 3.73 gears.

    NP208 Speedo Driven Gear Needed

    Yeah, I'm familiar with the site. Just trying to figure out which color my truck should have had from the factory to decide if the transfer case is out of the V6 or diesel.

    NP208 Speedo Driven Gear Needed

    Where can I find this book? I'm trying to figure out what speedo gears I need for my 3.08 rear gears.
  18. LateOnTheBrakes

    Speedometer off

    What gears did you end up going with? My truck is a mix of 4.3L V6 and CUCV. I don't know which of the two my transfer case came out of. What I do know is the V6 should have come with 3.73 rear gears and my truck has 3.08 in the back. My speedometer reads about 35mph when I'm going over 50mph.

    Yeah. I ended up bending the pedal in a vise and it worked pretty well.

    Anchor Plate Dimensions

    Anchor Plate Dimensions

    What are the anchor plate (spring perch?) hole dimensions? I don't know if the plates and the same between the 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 5/4-ton varieties. My truck is the 5/4 but has 1/2 ton axles. I think the anchor plates are for the Dana 60 front. I need to be able to pick the right U-bolts. It looks...

    LS Swap Throttle Cable Issues

    What is everyone doing for their throttle cables? My truck is a K30. I swapped in a 5.3L LM7 and installed a DBC throttle body and a cable bracket from a 2000 truck. I am trying to use my stock throttle pedal and the ~38" GM throttle cable (15040848). Everything installs nicely but the travel of...

    Shock Mount Fasteners

    I ordered some new shocks from Rock Auto but forgot to the grip length, diameter and pitch for the new bolts I will need to buy. What are the length, diameter and thread pitch for the front shock mounts (upper and lower)? What about for the rear? I know the upper stud on the rear of my truck...

    Radiator Options

    My engine is not all aluminum. It's a 5.3 with an iron block. And I wasn't going for something fancy. I spent less than $200 at Napa for the biggest radiator option available with the gas engine square body trucks. The diesel got a much wider and slightly shorter radiator. And I didn't want an...
