Those are the exact ones I went with. They worked great! I’ve heard that the vent windows and weatherstripping was a bear. And they sure were right! Haha!

When you guys say plastic/aluminum radiators from autozone, are you referencing the spectre cu850?

Haha! Most of my seals were so crispy they have already flaked off. The truck whistles down the road.

Thanks for the video. It’s going to come in handy next week!

Thank you for the reply. I value your experience with these things. My vent windows have always leaked. I pulled mine out of the truck to really look at it and it appears to be a two piece. So now I’m confused. Did someone put the wrong vent seals in and that’s why it leaks? What is a good...

Did the M1008 originally have a one piece or two piece vent window seal? These days does it matter as long as all of the pieces are purchased together? What’s the best brand/site for weatherstripping these days (I know this is a long asked question but just looking for some updated opinions)?

I see both of your points. I didn’t think of the foam absorbing the water. Honestly, it was a thought I had to dampen sound and possibly help with heat. While my truck is torn apart and getting ready for paint, I thought now would be the time to do it. The locations I was thinking is: in the...

Has anyone used expanding spray foam insulation to close air gaps in the cab? If so, what did you use? Did you spray foam the bottom portions of the driver and passenger side air vents?

First... Merry Christmas everyone and may all of you find the time off to work on your projects this holiday! Second... time for a chuckle. After everything in this thread, I’ve finally located what was causing the transmission’s issue. You know how I originally asked if there was a vent or...

I’ve had this truck for 5 years. This is the first time I’ve left it anywhere for service. Otherwise, I’ve always completed all the maintenance needed. Ever since I picked up my truck, it’s felt like it’s a situation that royalflush55 describes. I guess it’s just a matter of trial and error and...

Update.... I still have a transmission problem. ok. I fixed the starter issue and replaced the vacuum modulator and rubber connector hose. Once I got the truck to “start”, the truck still only has first gear. I guess it’s time to put the vacuum gauge on it? Are there any other ideas besides...

Well, I had the truck towed. Here’s where we are now. I had an extra vacuum modulator. So this morning, I ran down and installed the modulator and connector. Hopped in the truck excited to get it moving and the engine would turn over but not crank. Once it was at my house, I got to looking under...

So I had my m1008 sandblasted and undercoated and painted. I was dropped off at the paint place today and as I’m leaving, I only have first gear. I had all three running perfect when I dropped it off. Any help is appreciated, so I can get this home. Could there be something clogged with blast...

I ordered it through summit. It was also available through Jegs. It was around $5. I bundled it in with another purchase for free shipping.

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the help! I ended up getting American Autowire 500128. It fits perfectly.

Both are excellent suggestions. I appreciate your time. I think I’m going to see if I can source a new bulb socket. I’ve been looking and no one lists the size of the intended hole. But the hole in the back of the volt meter is 5/8”. At least it’s a start. If I’m unsuccessful, I think I’ll try...

I was pulling my dash bezel earlier today and when I twisted the light socket out of the stock volt meter, the white wire came out of the bulb socket. So of course I pulled the light bulb out. And a spring and small copper piece fell out. Since I don't think this is in the manuals, I am...

Thanks guys. I've driven it around town some. I even stopped in and tried to flex it up pretty well to see it made a difference. Keep the suggestions coming though. This kind of thing is going to drive my obsessive compulsiveness crazy... Haha!

Ok.... I have a M1008. I just finished putting Offroad Design’s shackle flip with custom springs on my truck. Before placing the springs on the truck, the front springs looked symmetrical and the rear springs looked symmetrical. Though I admit, I did not measure them. Also, before replacing...

Thank you for looking anyway!
