Cucvfreek--I sent you some pics to post. Hope you get them. In the morning sun it looks red but is coppertone. I plan to get back looking military, except the gears. Thanks jworth--I live so far back in the boonis that I can't get a signal for cell phone. Lighting has to change gears three...

No, nothing sticking out from the rear rim. Just the 8 lug nuts. What would it have been if something was there?

Lost my only key for my M1008. Took the code to Ace Hardware but they said they couldn't do it without a key. Installed a new ign switch for about $12. The key I had for it wouldn't fit the doors, of course the key I got with the new ign switch wouldn't fit either. I took the code to the...

Yep, poor 1008. I looked at the rear chunk and it looks like someone went into it. Maybe changed out the gears in it and not change out the whole rear end? So what should I do, just get the ball joints replaced? I can't complain too much, I didn't give but $1985 for it. Alot of the stuff under...

Don't understand the 10 bolt. Is it a m1009 front end? Should I just get the ball joints replaced and would it not haul a heavy load? I don't plan to load it up anyway.

I checked and it has 4 u bolts and they look new. Everything else is dirty. I couldn't see any numbers on the chunk. It was too hot and had to come in.

Thanks Cucvfreek, I'll check it out.

How many u bolts is it supposed to have?

It has the 8 bolts on the wheels. I just did 55mph testing it on the way home before I knew about the left front tire leaning.

Glen it looks like it has the ball joints. It appears to have the same gear ratios as it drives good and doesn't have sounds like the gears are grinding or anything. It does 55mph and sounds good. I haven't checked it out for top speed, not with the left front issue. Andy

Haven't learned to post pictures yet. I know about as much about posting pictures as I do about mechanical stuff.:-( I know it's suppose to have kingpins but doesn't. Doesn't have the four bolts on top. Thanks 91w350 for the link. I'll check it out.

all have king pins except the M1009. I took my 008 to a mechanic because the left front tire was leaning inside and the bottom was leaning out. He said I needed new ball joints. My friend looked at them and said they were ball joints instead of king pins. So I guess the owner before me changed...

Thanks for the info M813a1. I was looking for just any M101. Good to know I need the M101a2.

Jim, I have a M1008 and I am looking for a M101. Could you put me in touch with the owner of the one you found? Andy

I have a M35 with the sprag. I don't have any problem with it. I was told to not to roll back or forward when I was in 1st or reverse with the clutch in. I haven't jacked mine up yet to see if it's wound up or not, but will soon. By the way, welcome to the site. I drove my first one when I was...

New to M1008, what is ste/ice? Didn't nean to hi-jack.

Welcome to SS Dave, I am new here also. I bought a M35a2 about 2 months ago. Today I bought a M10008. I don't know much about them. You can get a lot of info on SS. The M1008 I got seems to be in good shape. Has only 60,000 miles if the od is correct. It drives good. Everything works. A couple...

Welcome to SS Gulf Vet. I'm not sure, but I think I read somewhere, probably here on SS, that you don't need a CDL in Kallifornia.

Thanks, you reminded me, I need to check mine out.

Welcome to SS. I'm in L.A. (lower Al.) Live near Enterprise and Dothan. Just got my first M35 about 2 months ago. I wish you well and if I get the chance, I will take a ride up to New Site. Andy
