    sorry, I am a beginner. If the backing plate is wet (with brake fluid?), then I have problems with the seals? These seals are in the brake drum itself?

    m1008 brakes

    how do I adjust the brakes on my m1008 so it gets more from the front, less from the back. Now when I stop at every red light, my back wheels are locking up and I get angry looks from the guy in front of me who thinks I am hot rodding.

    transfer case fill plug removal

    Is there a special tool to remove the 30 mm plugs on the transfer case of the M1008? I cant get it with a socket. Its on there pretty tight, and the head of the plug is very thin.

    engine braking

    when my selector is in 2nd, I get no engine braking. When in drive, at 35mph, tach drops suddenly to idle as it free-rolls. Always at 35 mph. In 1, I get engine braking all the way to a stop. It doesnt feel like the torque converter being a little loose. When it breaks free, it is a very...

    engine braking

    other than that, its seems to be running fine. I already put 3000 miles on it and nothing has changed. Its not slipping and it pulls OK.

    transmission M1008

    One more- how does one adjust the vacuum modulator valve? My transmission on my M1008 has such a strong kick that I am worried about it knocking my neck out of joint.

    engine braking

    My M1008 engine brakes in 3rd gear until it hits 35 mph, then it breaks loose and free rolls until stopped. In second gear, I dont get any engine braking. In first gear, it engine brakes all the way until stopped. Anybody know what is going on? I would expect to always have it engine...

    gen 2 light

    Ok, so I replaced the connector, and still no gen 2 light. Then I started in on the dash. Tore everything out, and found the bulb socket was falling out of the plastic circuit sheet. I cant believe they made cars like that. It seems so flimsy. Polished all of the terminals, and bent the arms to...

    gen 2 light

    I dove into the gen 2 light problem, expecting to find myself taking apart the dash. I started at alternator 2 on the passenger side, looking for the brown and red wires. When I touched the radiator hose that runs across the top of the alternator,over the top of the plactic connector, a big...

    Gen 2 light / Alternator trouble fixed the hard way

    Its seems odd that everybody has corrosion specifically on the gen 2 socket. doesnt it??? My gen2 light isnt working either. Someone below says something that implies that the faulty light prevents the gen 2 from charging the battery. Is this true?? I thought I would just leave it alone, since...
