    m1008 wire problem

    With all due respect, can you use some punctuation. It sounds like you changed the relay out with resetable breakers. Is this the case? With out knowing how much rewiring has been done to the truck, I would say to check the connections on the relay then change it out. The only items in the...

    m1008 wire problem

    The suppressors (capacitors) are only used for noise reduction for radios. It wont cause starter damage. Replacing suppressors w/ fuseable links will make smoke as you are making a short. Have you replaced the starter relay under the dash? Matt

    m1008 wire problem

    I have no idea what that part is. Can you reference it to the wiring diagram or to the location of it on the truck? Matt

    m1008 wire problem

    I would get a schematic and check you wire harness, sounds like some bad wires somwhere. Converting to 12vdc only makes future troubleshooting more difficult. Matt

    M37 Radio Shelter

    It looks like a modified S-318 shelter. They are a little smaller for use in the M-37. Matt

    Found a M1010 in Canada

    The 1010 has a bent shifter so a radio can be mounted above it and still allow use of the t-case. Oh and its a 208. Matt

    Disaster In Hooks

    Do those trucks have an oil cooler in the radiator? I had the same problem on a forklift. Turns out it was the oil cooler in the radiator had broken causing it to overflow.

    No lights on my M1008

    Appendix e-13 and e-14 in the TM 9-2320-289-34 is the service lighting schematic for your truck. It is downloadable from this site. It should guide you in the correct direction, of wiring anyway. Matt

    M1010 stuck in the mud.

    In the intermediate support tm (TM 9-2320-289-34) it shows the only locking axle as the rear of a 1009. All of the rest are labeled as no spin. The 1028 and varients are no-spin front and rear, I thought my 1028 had a limited slip up front. Plus what is a two-pinion, and four-pinion axle? I...

    M1008 alternator issues, and other stuff

    Check the plug on the alternator. Make sure you have 12 volts on the red wire and the plug is making good contact with the alternator. The brown wire goes to your light. Hope this helps. Matt

    M1010 stuck in the mud.

    I am debating on a winch and bigger tires, or for about the same price a m35w/w.

    M1010 stuck in the mud.

    The mud there reminds me of muskeg in Alaska. When I was driving in it looked like a plain grass trail. The first ten feet was hard so I went back in the truck and started driving. Then I found a soft spot and down it went. The severe muddiness is from a thousand foot prints. Matt
