Having brake issues on my 87 1008. It started with the brake peddal going to the floor with ease only after start up and then fine. I checked for leaks, found brake booster leaking, changed booster, problem continued. Changed master cylinder after finding it leaking from weap hole, used a new...
Sorry if this is a repeat question. I'm looking at buying a M101A2 or M101A3 trailer. They're both listed as having the same width, but I notice that the A3's fenders stick out further than the A2. Now, do the fenders stick out farther, or is the cargo body narrower?
Now that my truck is finally up and running again, it's time for a 700r4 swap or a Gear Vendors for the TH400 on my 1008. Costs aside which setup would be better for all around abuse on the high way and off road. I am either going with a Monster transmissions 700r4 or a Gear Vendors for my...

Hey guys. I'm trying to get to the bottom of a hard start and now a fuel leak problem. Which is more prone to leaking fuel and from where the fuel pump or the injector pump? Is there a way to tell how old the IP is? Maybe soon I'll be able to contribute instead of asking all the time.
Hey guys, stupid question, I just ordered a new fuel filter assembly to replace my current on my 1009. The new one doesn't have the round deal with the foam piece and the two wires that the old one has. What is it, do I need it, and where can I get one?? Thanks alot.
Does anyone have any idea around what kind of mileage I could expect by dropping a 5.9 cummins in my M1009? I'm torn between rebuilding a 6.2, a 6.5, or getting the 6bt. Out of all the post on the similar topic, nobody mentions mpgs, and that's more or less the deciding factor here.... oh, and...
