    CUCV M1008 - Bypassing vacuum regulator

    37x12.50x16 tires

    I want radials, prefferably E load range. If you do a search a 37x12.50x16 is hard to find. Not very many companies make a tire in that size. I say Super Swampers because they are one of the few companies that actually make this size. I have done quite a bit a of research on this. I was just...

    M1008 Melting battery cables

    My glow plugs are all new, and work perfectly. I replaced the wire between the batteries, I think it was just loose and thats why it was a little hard to start. It also caused it to get too hot and melt. Everything seems to be working great now. I started it today quickly and with no issues.

    M1008 Melting battery cables

    Hopefully it will not happen again with the bigger wire, I'll check the batteries tomorrow. The batteries are less than a year old, and the voltage gauge is always in the green. I also have new alternators and the doghead relay.

    I started my truck today, it is about 35 degrees here. It was hard to turn over at first but started within about ten seconds. I was later going to check my transmission fluid and happened to look at my battery and realized the wire going between the two batteries was melted and so were my cable...

    M1008 Hydroboost

    I have and 84 m1008. I am getting ready to change out the lines going to the hydroboost from the power steering pump. My question is when I change out the lines do I have to bleed the brakes? I know I have to bleed the power steering pump.

    84 m1008 fuel guage

    I have an 84 m1008, when I am driving it the fuel level is never consistent on the gauge. It is all over the place. Sometimes it will read past full, somewhere in between, or completely empty. I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems and knew what it might be, before i start...
