Okay here is an update on this issue....Installed another left side hub and rotor assembly. This one is new as well with a different set of wheel bearings. Before installing brake caliper, tested with a dial indicator and found it to be true. Put all back together, truck was still pulling within...

There are days when it is hardly noticeable, just a slight wander. Then there are days when, a mile from my work, I can change lanes with the b****. I would gladly take an electrical problem over this any day! The randomness of it is what is getting me. I would love it if the truck continued to...

I have another hub/rotor assembly, I will throw that on tomorrow I guess. Give it a try for a couple days. I will be overjoyed if that is it, don't even care about wasting $170 on the GM assembly at this point.

All new wheel bearings on front and rear axle, bro.... I had thought the left front might have been loose, had that happen on a Blazer one time. Those front rotor/hub assemblies have been on and off at least four times and they are tight, I am positive. Chipping the chrome off of my Warn hubs I...

OKay- will check them this weekend. I have another brand new GM assembly I may just throw on. If this rotor is warped, wouldn't it pull all of the time?

Yeah, I replaced the right and left side calipers already with a pair that was known to work fine. I also filed the caliper mounting areas on the caliper brackets and applied white lube to them. The right side caliper has slightly more psi when applied than the left side. That left front wheel...

I sandblasted the sway bar and installed brand new bushings from Offroad Design. I tried three different stabilizers so far, all brand new. The thing that gets me is that it doesn't do it all of the time. Distance is the factor, not temperature as this truck pulled in 9*F weather as well as...

Okay, if anyone can help me with this I will send them money for a case of beer as I am completely stumped. I have a 1986 M1008 I bought with 37,000 original miles. Truck was in nice shape when I bought it, just had been sitting for awhile. I removed the original Dana 60 front axle and replaced...

Bruce- I installed one one my '86 M1008. Took a couple days, but works great. Longbed gas & diesel tanks will work, just change the sending unit. I used an aftermarket diverter valve to switch between the 2 tanks and ran all of the lines/wires myself. For the fill, I used a holesaw to drill a...

Thanks Bro- Just checked mine and the top two bolts were missing altogether...

Hey- I may have a leaking rear main seal on my M1008 and before I tear it apart, was wondering if anyone knows if this is a one piece seal or rope seal? I'd like to be forewarned before I pull the truck all apart. The engine is a 1986 6.2L J code......I am getting a couple of drips every time I...

The driveshafts were measured fully compressed.

Anyone have a good used M1008 front driveshaft for sale??? I doubt I will be able to get my original back as I sent it in a week ago as a core. Thanks for your help...

Hey guys- I am having some big time trouble with the front driveshaft in my 1986 M1008- maybe somebody could point me in the right direction here because I am at my wits end. I completely rebuilt a Dana 60 axle from lockout and lockout and decided to install it in the truck along with a Meyers...

Look closely at the passenger side floor from underneath the Blazer. 9 times out of 10 the floor is ripped/ rotted due to people slamming the front passenger seat forward to access the rear seat. GM should have reinforced this area of the floor better, but they didn't. Also make sure your rear...

Bolt size is 7/16" coarse thread....

Here are some photos of a set off of my M1008. I would be interested- how are you going to use these to haul more firewood? Just curious...

My M1008 was also picked up with a forklift before I bought it and destroyed the driveshaft. To get it home I used a dirveshaft out of a 3/4 ton Chevy pickup. It had a 3" tube size whereas the M1008 uses a 4" tube. Also, the 3/4 ton driveshaft was 1" shorter in length. Had to be carfeul driving...

If you want to go to 4.10 gears- you have to change the carrier in that 14 bolt rear axle. The carrier that is in there will only work with 4.56 and numerically higher gears.

Lockers do not need any special additive, posi-units do or otherwise you are going to 'chatter' going around corners. The limited slip additive lets the clutches slip a little bit going around turns.
