    Request Pictures of Stock Engine Compartments - Various Views

    How about from the rear toward the radiator...each side. Some previous mechanic moved the coolant overflow reservoir to where the rear battery used to be located. That's one of the mods...plus a crappy 12V conversion...removal of bus bars, etc. Then, I think that'll do for now. Many thanks. By...

    Request Pictures of Stock Engine Compartments - Various Views

    The M1008 I recently purchased has been modified in various ways and I'd like to return a couple of things to stock configuration. To do that properly, I need to start with some really good stock photos for reference. Can some of you that have stock engine compartments post various views please...

    Request photos of an M1008 parking brake assembly

    Thanks for the super quick reply. I've ordered all associated parts through LMC. When they come in, I'll compare them to what's installed then do the job if everything matches. I'll report back. Many thanks.

    Request photos of an M1008 parking brake assembly

    So, I went to order the parts from LMC once I saw mine were really rusted up, but for the rear brake cables I need to know whether the M1008 has 13" brakes or 11 5/32" brakes. Can someone help with that? I've checked the TMs and didn't find it. Items 2 and 3 in the diagram. I would imagine they...

    Request photos of an M1008 parking brake assembly

    Thank you for the quick responses and pictures. Yes, the brake engages fine and holds the truck on inclines. When the release handle is pulled, it releases the foot pedal but the pedal doesn't come up all the way, but rather hangs low...thus keeping the brake light in the instrument panel lit...

    Request photos of an M1008 parking brake assembly

    Awesome. I'm adding a picture. After taking a really close look, it may be the correct assembly...maybe it just needs to be properly adjusted somehow. I thought it was missing a spring or may had been a donor assembly from another vehicle.

    Request photos of an M1008 parking brake assembly

    I'm hoping someone can get under their dash and snap some good pictures of their parking brake assembly...engaged...not engaged. With the M1008 I purchased, the foot brake lacks the spring that keeps it raised up when not engaged. I've glanced at my assembly and then compared it to the pictures...

    CUCV 24 to 12 volt conversion mess

    What is the benefit of using two batteries with the 12-volt conversion? There's added weight, additional replacement cost and there are tons of gas and diesel 12-volt trucks out there that work just great with one battery...as most do. Just curious why not go down to one good battery?

    UPDATED: Bad Experience with Mariano, Liberty Hill, Texas

    Jason, Thanks for the solid explanation for the bad experience. I just wish he had answered my calls/texts, or atleast explained or come to open the gate at the time we set up for the appointment. The day before I came, he had requested I call on my way up and I did. When he finally texted...

    UPDATED: Bad Experience with Mariano, Liberty Hill, Texas

    Not a problem at all. My family has owned two businesses and I certainly don't want to be guilty of damaging a company's reputation. I hope you can understand my confusion based on what I saw. Let me relate one experience I had earlier this year. In July, I was on the search for a car for my...

    UPDATED: Bad Experience with Mariano, Liberty Hill, Texas

    If Mariano does not work for the site originally mentioned in my subject line, then I certainly apologize for naming the company in the subject line. There have been numerous times where I have viewed ads on CL that were supposedly from individuals then after receiving the address and arriving...

    UPDATED: Bad Experience with Mariano, Liberty Hill, Texas

    I was referred to a CL ad for a M1008 for sale in Liberty Hill, Tx so it peaked my interest. I called the number in the ad and Mariano answered. I told him I was interested in the truck, so we set up an appointment for 10:30 am today. He asked that I call before arrival. It's takes about 2 hours...

    ORD Shackle Flip and Stock Spring vs 4" Tuff Country EZ Ride HDs

    Good info. When I talk to Chris @ ORD next week, I'll bring up the possible issue with the driveshaft, pinion angle and exhaust. Many thanks all. Oh, hey, since my rear stock spring is a rust mess, where's the best place to get a new replacement? Just stock height.

    Spinning Antenna Mount Bolt

    I'm not sure y'all understand. I don't intend to replace them. I want the mounts gone and holes gone. I have no desire to have antenna mounts sticking off my truck nor holes in the side.
