Hello all, I've never posted in the hot rodding section of the forum before. However, I'm glad to say that that time has arrived. My M1008 will be receiving quite an upgrade in power and speed. I will warn those who wish to follow this thread that this is a long term project that is already...

Several months ago a bizarre tinking (hard to describe) noise developed on my truck. It normally happens when shifting from 1st to 2nd gears. It is a very loud noise and is plainly audible reverberating off of nearby buildings when driving in the small city I live in. This leads me to believe...

Before someone jumps on me about this, I've done a search and have been following the thread 'opinions on 31x10x50 michelin ltxat2's' and I'm intrigued by it. I am lowering my M1008 since I use it as a work truck and DD but would like to retain some off-road ability for the hunt club and such...

My passengers rear brake locks up very quickly when in slick conditions. If the road is wet/it's raining or I'm on mud and I even tap the brakes the rear passenger tire will skid. I've been having this issue since I bought the truck a year ago. It had a leaking rear axle seal so I replaced...

I searched the forum and could not find an issue quite like this. I warn you this will be a long post. For starters the truck is a 1984 M1008 with the Roscommon 12v conversion. It also has a fusible intermittent push button switch as indicated in the photos. The pushbutton must be pushed in...

I had a strange squeaking noise coming from around the accessory drive on my M1008. It was very prevalent at idle and seemed to disappear with the slightest throttle increase. I couldn't tell if it was engine noise drowning it out or if it actually stopped squeaking. It had be going on for...
