thanks i have that manual printed out and refer to it often. i have tested everything but the starter, so i will test it today. i don't know how that would affect the dash lights or the head lights though? i have my wife's uncle coming over today to help me tear it apart and see what he...

with this problem i am having the same luck with the head lights as i am with the dash lights. they come on it is just they take a few seconds for the lights to brighten fully. as for the dash lights once they come on all the way and you go to turn the key everything dies. i tested the...

i hear all you guys having problems with your electical compnents and didn't see any problems with mine till last friday. got in friday morning started fine, after work started fine. made 2 stops on the way home and she started fine. stopped at the auto parts store to get oil and no start. i...

here is mine <<<<<<-------- and on with my new tires:-D

it was 9 this morning at my house in tennessee and on the mountain the wind was blowing about 10-15 so it was cold. my m1008 started on its first crank. and i love the high rev for warming it up.:-D

thanks everyone i appreciate all of your input. you have given me some great ideas and will begin to do some small mods at first and get funds together for the big stuff. as it comes together i will put some post up letting you know how it is coming with pics. thanks again

thanks does anyone else have some ideas?

i met up with Spink7124 the other day and saw how a really well built 1008 looks. he went far further than i am thinking of going but it looked good. he built his own lift and has roughly 40in tires on it. im not thinking of going that big, im thinking of 37s at best. but what im wanting to...

thanks guys you really have cleared things up. does anyone have a picture or two of replacing them?

i have looked throughout the site looking for info on ball joints for a 08 but haven't had any luck. my truck has been in the shop for 5 days now and they tell me that they can not find replacement ball joints for the truck, has anyone had this problem or know of where i can get replacements.

non that i know of. when i questioned them they said it was four wheel drive and i asked about the drive shaft and they said it was there. after talking to them for several days they finally realized that it wasn't so that is how i was able to get it so much less. as far as getting one there...

I know it is far away but there is a guy near me that has 5 m1008 for sale and will help finance them as well. he is asking 3200 but i bought mine from him for 2500. no problems just no front drive shaft.

i have been told to check the ohms and they should be between .5 and 3 ohms. i just haven't figured out how they are getting that reading. when i test mine with the positive lead on the plug and the ground to the engine i get an open curcit, not .5 to 3. any help?
