Does anyone have a picture of a panhard bar attached on the front of a M1008? I would like to see what it looks like.

The main issue is that it is SO freakin tall now. I'm pretty short and I have to crawl up in this thing like a kid on a jungle gym. The other thing I don't like is how it feels going around corners, feels like the center of gravity is way too high. The front drive shaft is still factory length.

Thanks for the information guys. Does NAPA sell these type heaters??

Did you use factory springs or aftermarket springs??

This, mine has the 37" tires and 6". I think I would be much happier with the 4" and trimming.

Is there a how to thread about this heater install?? If so can someone point me in the right direction? This cold weather starting of my 1008 sucks.

Is there a way to test to see if one of the alternators went bad without starting the truck? I am not good with electrical stuff at all so this is something that has me concerned.

Well, I checked out the front battery and it was totally dead. So I charged it all night, the next morning it showed 100% and it started up just fine and everything seems to work like it is supposed to. Only thing I can think of is the front battery must be toast and was drained when I turned on...

When this happened to yours did you lose all electrical power to everything in the truck?

Does that fusible link go all the way up into the column?? If so, how do you replace it if it goes all the way up there?

Thanks Warthog. I was going to check the batteries out this afternoon when I get back home. I know they were both fine when I started the truck right before this happened but who knows now. After that I will start trying to track down these fusible links.

Porky, in the diagrams, when it says suppresor, does that mean it is a fusible link? Also, if I have lost ALL electrical powere to everything which diagram should I be looking at?

Porky, is there a place the shows where the fusible links are located?? I am betting that this is my problem, now I just have to figure out where they are located so I can repair/replace what I need.

I started my M1008 yesterday morning and everything was fine, nothing out of the usual. The truck was covered in 1/2" of ice so I turned on the defroster on high and let it idle for a while to warm up. after about 15minutes I went out to check on the truck and get the ice off the windshield...

Thank you, I will check out the link.
