My 86' M1008 has had a mild death wobble for a while, changed four set of tires still wobbles. So I replace the steering dampener and the king pin springs and bushings, very easy replacement! However this has only reduced the wobble by maybe 95%. You can still feel the slight bump of the...

Replace the steering dampener, and both kingpin springs and bushings(so easy).

I solved my parts problem by finding a pretty complete truck for under a grand in OK, I even got a maint. type bed in the deal.!

Nice restoration, those are meaty looking trucks!

Super truck!

Tom, good looking 1028! I guess I am headed to Epay to get my new mirror!

Meaning Standard is same mirror on both sides?

The passenger side mirror on my M1008 has the same glass in it as the drivers side mirror has, so no "Objects Are Larger than They appear" type view in it. I found a replacement on ebay shipped for $20, I like the larger field of view. From the mirrors I have seen in my mirror search on SS it...

Photo?

I don't think mine are the raised type, thanks for the link, it looks like I will be ordering some. James

Is there a way to rejuvenate old data plates that have gotten faint and oxidized short of replacing them?

I will be there, I can help with the MKT, I need to learn what ever i can about it! What's best for the trail ride CUCV or 5 Ton?

I have found a good sharp hoe is the best response to aggressive reptiles!

I got one, great truck, but 45 is about the top on speed. But for what you need a good fit if a decent price.

Had the same experience, replaced one battery, started fine for a week or so, same issue would not start just a thud! Screwed around with everything but the other battery, took a week then as a last resort replaced the other battery! Not an issue since. It takes a lot turn it over fast enough...

Thanks, I have a pto and shaft that should fit, it was just the frame fit that was a mystery! I hope to look at the truck tomorrow, the price is still an issue but if it is as described I may have me a dump truck next week.

A M517 is the 5 ton dump truck that preceded the M817 model of trucks. Like my M543A2 preceded the M816 series.

I have a couple of winch setups(cut from frame) of M813s, will these bolt up to a M517 dump truck? I know the PTO and linkage is different but will the actual bumper extension match the 517 frame?

3.5 inch lift and 37s Before and after a 3.5 inch lift and added Baja 37s

I have a M1008 with a 3.5 inch lift and 37 inch tires. I want to replace my shocks which are old and extended due to the lift, anyone have any they like? I don't do a lot of off roading except for driving through the woods and in the pasture. Thanks, James
