I have had my M1008 for about 12 years now. The original brakes failed 10? years ago due to bad rear hub seals, entire inside was gooed up in dusty gear oil. I did an entire brake job and new rear bearings. The spindles had wear grooves in them and the original style seal lips could not seal...

Well second try...

....and a good time was had by all.... Friday was light rain but Saturday and Sunday were perfect. I took my M1008 on Friday's trail ride in the rain and mud. Saturday my kids and I got a ride in a duce and took pictures from the bed. If you have not experienced the MVMVC Weare rally you are...

I'm in the same boat. My wife ordered for me a new GP controller, solenoid and other stuff, ordered Jan 18, paypal confirmed and USPS says 'its shipped' but no luck so far. Digging deeper USPS says 'shipping information electronically received' with no status updates since then. John may be...

Ditto on the 'I welded on a tractor supply reciever' and added gussetts. This has worked great for me, the pintle is still there for commercial / Mil trailers and the reciever with a drop hitch is availiable for civy trailers. I found the CUCV bumper center to be very strong & well reinforced...

I installed a Racor 90P filter as a pre-filter ahead of the stock filter. This unit has both the heater and the water in bowl sensor. I posted pics of it in the thread: push or pull the fuel After a few years I have had no issues. As mentioned earlier in this thread, a few sizes of filters...

I changed my IP on my 1008, as already said, you just remove the intake manifold, IP lines, oil filler neck then the thee bolts 'inside'. no need to remove the water pump. This was my first time and I never saw a torn down 6.2 before so it was read the manual and dive in. Mutt1966 / all...

I installed the NAPA freeze plug block heater in my 1008 5 or so years ago and use it for every cold morning to lessen wear and tear on the motor. I use a timer, hardwired torx timer in gray box to control the plug. I usually run it for 4 hours or so when the temp is 20-35 or so. When it gets...

... not bitter... 'experienced'. Another tip: If you don't need it you can remove it to increase your oh8 cargo capacity and improve fuel mileage as well.

It is there to provide a local grounding connection. When accessory circuits are added the idea was you could take the negitive wire, crimp on a faston (female spade connector) and push it onto that block. Nothing fancy, just easy assuming it still made good enough contact with the sheet metal...

Just to be sure... do you have a very good ground at the fuel tank? Like to the frame with a star washer and connected to good metal on the tank fuel pick up? If not so sure, you could put an aligator clip on the metal fuel pipe on the pickup and connect to a good ground to troubleshoot this...

I had massive flooding after a rebuild, the new float needle valve was the neopream tip type with solid shaft, the old was the solid brass point with a spring loaded body. I fiddled with the old one a few times but it keep on flooding from time to time. There was something about the geometry...

I saw someone load one at a rally into a short bed full size pickup. It fits fine in the bed, put the ring facing the back of the truck. The big risk was that to fit perfectly the trailer wheels had to be on the pickup bed wheel wells, if you put the trailer wheels to the back, the trailer was...

I found some M1008 master cylinders listed in a lot on GL, they gave the full part numbern and contract number. Searching on line on these numbers led to a bunch of contracts to produce them. GM was one of the contractors, and the number 1925 came up in the detailed description. Nobody ever...

Nice score Warren, hope to see you at the next events in that sweet thing.... Being such a nice truck your keeping us from enjoying the 'he bought a basket case and has no idea how much pain he is in for' moment. Hopefully a bulb or something will burn out so you can post pics of opening up a...

Thanks for the kind words. Yes I made them, but it took most of a Saturday and with the small kids I don't have the extra time to get into a hobby business. I had been thinking about making a cup holder for a while. I used some 1/8" x 1-1/4" flat stock.

I added a cup holder (finally) and some presidential and state leadership that seems to agree with me when I hit the rough stuff.

I would imagine two situations, first, total failure of the shock and light or no payload, the user may want to disable the system to prevent the unsafe operation of the surge brake until it could be fixed. In my case, I actually did disable the same balcrank surge brake unit used on the...
