Warthog, I may have spoke to soon! As I said, the wire and connector are fine, but before my last post I had missed your suggestion to leave it unplugged,when I did that, all is fine! I went through 4 start cycles and the fuse held, I am going to let it sit and cool for a cpl hrs and go try...

Warthog, I did that and it looks fine, the connector was on quite tight and the wire looks good all the way into the plastic shield holding the wires. I did notice, after putting everything back together that the fuse does not blow immediately, the wait and water in fuel light come on as normal...

Hello all! Thanks much for the help so far, life has gotten in the way an I have not had a chance to piddle with it until today. The first place I wanted to look was the seat belt buzzer wiring as its not hooked up an the wires were loose, however thats not the cause. I was thinking that one...

Hello, I have been having a reoccuring issue with fuse 17, the engine control fuse blowing. I have searched and found the various circuits controled through this fuse but have a cpl of questions before I start trouble shooting. I am unsure where to find the water in fuel solenoid, the cold...

M1008driver, I would NEVER consider using it that way, like the sticker says, the brake does not disingage it and disingaging it by hand takes WAY to long in an emergency situation. The button in the center is supposed to fully release it when pushed, but in my install it does not. I don't know...

Hello all! I thought I would just comment back on this since I installed it and let ya know how it works, In a word..SWEET! It has been great on cold winter mornings to be able to set it and let the truck warm for a bit. My install works really well, no problems with regular throttle operation...

Thank you all so much for your help and answers on this! I was able to do a temp. fix until I can get a motor without having to go ask the bank. I removed the inspection cover that runs below the starter, slightly counter sunk the starter bolt hole, put a piece of all thread the proper size in...

If I have to do this, does anyone know if other than needing the crossover pipe for the exhaust if any other exhaust mods are needed? Will my current 6.5l pipes mount up to the turbo manifolds or are the outlet in a different place? Thanks! Greg

When I bought my 85M1008 i was told it had a newer <5000K miles on it 6.5. Well I have had nothing but problems, before I even got 50 miles I got a low coolant light, puled over and the water pump was gushing water, so that had to be replaced and I think it had previously been over heated as...

Hello, twice now over the last month or so, the fuse that powers the fuel gauge, at least part of the glow plug circuit and the water in fuel indicator has blown. Today when I went to start the truck (85 M1008) I had no glow plug or water in fuel lights but the fuel gauge was working. I checked...

Ok, thanks guys! If anyone might be interested in it, I can find out more info on it if you would like, or Pm you the dealer contact info. It is located in Kokomo Indiana, about an hr N of Indianapolis.

Sorry bout the pic, I dont know why it flipped and i can make it turn the right direction, sounds like its a 5 ton though

My buddy did snap a cell phone pic just to show his wife what his nutty friend was looking at.

This might sound like a stupid question, i havent had experience with MV outside of my m1008, but do the five tones come twin screw with the troop seats and covered rear? The front is also soft top. Its has what i would call a 60/40 split front seat.

I didnt have anything to take pics, but i found a deuce at a local dealer. They were closed, so I dont know much about it and I couldnt find a data plate. It looks to be in GREAT shape, the top is like new, its automatic, looks like it had 5 fwd gears, a cummins engine, 20,000# winch, It has...

Once in a while, after I have stopped at a stop sign, when I accelerate, I near a pop coming from the rear end, you can kinda feel it too. It does not do it very often at all. I have checked all the U bolts, the universals have all been replaced so I dont think it has anything to do with that. I...

To your original question on cup holder, I have the contractor box that I think it was recovery4x4 mentioned, VERY nice! I got mine off ebay for $37 plus shipping, exact same thing LMC sells for around $90 I think it is, so do some looking and save a few $$ for other goodies!! VERY nice looking...

The front and rear will both need the same gears

Warthog, thanks for the heads up on replacement sockets! I am no electrical guru by any means, but I think I have a decent understanding of basic theory, etc. Im not sure I understand how it could have grounded through the two remaining contacts. Its my understanding that those two leads go back...

Man, are you guys on the ball!! I started piddling with this today, first place I checked was the ground at the overflow, in good shape, good continuity, so I moved on to my left front turn signal, sure enough the ground tab inside the socket was broken off! There was enough of it left I was...
