Porky, Thanks for the reply! I just changed the fluid and filter about a month ago. That was the first thing I changed when the issue came up. Before that though, the fluid and filter where original to the truck.

Hello Green Community, I have 86 M 1008 that's been giving me some tranny Issues. Any Ideas/ Help would be greatly appreciated!! :) Explanation of Problem: -When I first start driving the truck it shifts into all gears fine and just as it usually should. However, when I get about 20 miles on...

Just wanted to give back some information. Everyone on this website has been very helpful/ patient towards my unique set of questions. I use my truck as a daily work truck for my Lawncare/ Snowplowing business. I had my driver side alternator go bad on me last year while plowing (fried positive...

I would say about 2ft of ice.. I wouldn't take any truck on the ice over about 14 inches. It gets slushy in spots and you don't know where its slushy until you hit the slush lol.. Good times though.. Sweet video and pics Detroit diesel.

Just wanted to start a thread posting CUCV's in the winter snow. Here's a look at mine on the that lake I live on.. Post em up

Problem: The tranny on my M-1008 seems to be slipping going into the 3rd gear. Shifts into second gear fine. But has a hard time shifting into 3rd most of the time. The problem seems to be the worst when I have the front locked out, in 4 wheel drive. In two wheel drive the truck shifts more...

Found Problem: I had the neighbors trailer hooked up to my truck the night my dad left the lights on. The lighting on my neighbors trailer wasn't exactly right. And I ended up almost melting both the head light and heater fuse; Instead of draining the batteries. Thanks Phil for the lighting...

Description: I'm having an issue with my power steering. At the tail end of last snowplowing season my power steering started squeaking really bad anytime I raised, lowered, or angled my blade. Well the problem eventually got worse over time. It got to the point that it would squeak very loud...

Pretty Awesome rig you have there. What kind of blade do you have on that beast? Also what kind of plowing do you do out there in MT? Thanks for sharing the pic.

My specific plow is called a Unimount. This is wear the pump and blade are one unit. The only thing you need is to wield separate mount to the frame of your truck (female part) so the male part (pump and plow) can slide in together. Wielding the female part to your truck Isn't that hard to...

Just so everyone knows I posted this vid, just for the simple fact of showing what a M-1008 can do with a plow on her. For the enjoyment factor. Not for everyone to say I don't know how to plow, going to fast, etc. Believe me I know how to plow, especially in my own neighborhood in which I...

Also check your bateries for volts. Anything below 12 volts especially the Gen 1 battery, its no good to crank over. Especially with no block heater. Should take you atleast 4-5 times cycling GP's to start over 10 degrees or lower. If you don't have the crank, your not going anywhere.
