Does anyone know how I can clean my m1008's engine? I've heard that no high pressure water should be used. Thanks.

Why am I getting a low coolant light when I apply brakes sharply? The radiator and overflow tank are full of antifreze. I also got the light once on a sharp bumpy curve. Any help is appreciated.

acmunro could you post some pix of that throttle setup?

Thanks. I would appreciate some pictures. My intentions for a hand throttle were several. First, it would help in diagnosing engine problems that require the engine to run at a certain RPM to duplictae road conditions. Second, it would allow me to bypass the fast idle solenoid so that a...

I would like to add a hand operated throttle to my m1008. Has anyone done this? Would it be better to attach it to the accelerator pedal remote control or the belcrank on the injector pump? Thanks for a great site.

Thanks, guys.

Where do I go to download TM's on the new forum?

I just found this post. My m1008 was painted white. The guy from whom I bought the truck got it from Eglin AFB and then painted standard army camo over the white. The pins that hold the "D" rings will occasionally vibrate around to the white sides that did not get painted green. Your truck...

I would come help you, but I tend to get grouchy when I work on vehicles and then my language goes down hill. Your neighbors might not appreciate how I express my frustration. :lol: Seriously, you guys have given me enough info that I'll try to remedy this myself before I throw away a bunch...

I might try replacing the bushings and springs and see waht happens. I've read on other posts here that those two items also contribute to the much dreaded "death wobble" which my truck occasionally experiences.

No, he just said the tubes get bent and showed me the alignment computer's picture which showed the tire leaning inward. My initial thoughts were that if the tube was bent that the drive axle would scrub the inside diameter of the tube. Is that right? I did ask him if just replacing the...

Thanks. Are shims a better solution than an adjustable kingpin? Is my problem fairly common?

Thanks. I don't know what "moog" means.

I looked in the archives and this was not directly addressed. My '85 m1008's left front tire is wearing more than the other tires and the truck pulls to the right. The mechanic said the axle tubes can become bent over time and an adjustable kingpin should fix the problem. Any ideas? Also...

Thanks, I'm looking to get into that hobby and needed a start point.

Does anyone know if there are any civilian owners of the m88 Hercules? Also, what are the most common ex-military tracked vehicles available for civilian ownership? Thanks

I have a similar problem that has been occurring for the past month and a half. After the high idle solenoid turns off, the glow plugs continue to cycle--this is a new occurrence for my m1008. I replaced the glow plugs with ac60g's about a year ago. Sometimes the glow plugs won't cycle but...

got mine several days ago--thanls for the good deal!

CDR Valves I'm sending a check for two CDR valves today, 8-27-08. Thanks

Thanks guys. I'm about to tow a small camper trailer and wanted to add oil and temp. gauges to keep track of what's going on up there. I already found a link on how to install a temp. gauge.
