Howdy all: I was wondering if anybody has a good source where I can get my IP rebuilt? I do not know of any good shops in my area so, I need to send it off somewhere. Thanks for any info. Tom

I run ATF and WMO in my M1008 so far. I was snooping around my fathers garage while visiting and noticed a lot of half full bottles of motor oil, ATF, motorcycle fork oil (from when I used to race) and a half gallon of Marvel Mystery oil. I dumped them into a 5 Gallon gas can, it was about 3...

Howdy all: My M1008 does not have a spare tire or any provisions to mount one. Did these things have spares? If they did, where did they mount? I am not sure what my truck was used for. there are eye bolts mounted in the bed ( I think for cargo), so I figure they did not mount one there. I do...

Howdy all: I recieved 2 AC 60G glowplugs from a friend that no longer has his diesel truck. They are new in the box even though they are abot 15 years old. I noticed as I was looking at the boxes that one of them was made in Italy and the other was made in Germany. Who made these GP's, Bosch...

Thanks for the help. I will be purchasing a set of those. I do not have a lot of experiance with diesels. I did not think you could do much, short of using a Gale Banks Turbo.

Howdy all: I was reading a thread a couple of weeks back, and someone posted about using marine fuel injector nozzles on an M1008 to get a bit more performance from the 6.2. I can not remember what thread it was or find this post anywhere. Has anybody done this, used marine injector nozzles not...

Howdy: congrats on going back to work. I too am a Union wireman. I have been out of work since Dec. I would like to get back to work so I can resume cleaning up my M1008. Good Luck. Tom

Thanks for the help. I am going to get a switch. I am trying to make this beast as neanderthal as possible. I will leave the wiring intact, but I want to eliminate things that will leave me stranded. I am going to make it 12V. I can not find brushes, bearings or solenoid for the 24V starter, but...

Howdy all: I want to thank all of you for all the information and knowledge you bring and share on this forum. It has helped me soooo much with my M1008. I want to remove the 24volt part of the electrical system for easier maintenance. I want to remove the GP controller and put a pushbutton in...

Howdy: I was driving home in my M1008 tonight and I noticed something electrical might be burning (smell). I lost all lights, headlights, tail lights, dash, etc. even my blackout lights will not come on. It is like the electrical master switch burned up. I did not have much time to trouble shoot...

Howdy all: I went to Helm Publications website to try to get the manuals for the civilian version of the M1008. can any body tell me the what Tm's in the referece section that covers wiring diagrams and repair and rebuilding of the 6.2 and accessories? i even looked for Chilton manuals but do...

Howdy all: Is the rear axle on the M1008 a Dana 60? Can anyone tell me what the torque on the Pinion shaft nut is? I have to change the seal, it is leaking profusely. Thanks Tom

I just had my radiator recored. as long as the tanks are in good shape, it is rebuildable. more then I can say for the plastic tanked aluminium junk. I have never had good luck with the plastic tanks lasting more then about 4 years. My radiator is now a 5 row. it cost a pretty penny ($500) but...

Howdy All: I found online somewhere before I found this site, a TM that had the paint pattern for my M1008. The one thing I did not like the the 3 color panit using the green/Brown/Black colors. My truck is OD green and i want this as a base but I was thinking of using a dark Earth Yellow in...

I was Just going to start a thread when I read this, What is the Max. cruising speed for my M1008? It does not seem to like to Cruise at more than 60. I keep it between 55 and 60. I have not purchased a tach for it yet, but sounds like it is screaming at 65.

Howdy all: I have been looking at threads for a week now. I got a pad of paper out and started writing all kinds of great information down. Now my pad has disappeared, I think Aliens landed and abducted it. I have an M1008 and would like to install different filtering systems ( fuel and oil) on...
