Yesterday I had to merge into heavy traffic, so I floored the throttle and the truck responded normally. It shifted at the correct, later, points and everything was fine. Now, it will ONLY shift at those shift points, regardless of throttle position. ( 1-2 shift: 28mph, 2-3 shift: 39mph)
When I...
Does anyone know the bolt thread size for the fire extinguisher bracket on the floor of these trucks?? My oh8 didn't come with an extinguisher, but I'd like to use the stock floor plate to mount the one I just bought. None of the leftover junk I have in my bolt box seems to fit though. Help!!
I read the "Billavista" thread on Pirate 4x4 about the beadlocks, but I'm looking for some more H1 wheel specific info. I need to take apart, clean/paint and reassemble a set of H1 wheels for my M1008. Is there a TM section that covers these things with torque specs, etc.?
Thanks!
I saw in my brief search that a capped 3rd line leaving the fuel tank is not uncommon on these trucks, but does anyone know if it is a vent or a pick-up? I'm looking at adding an in-bed fuel tank and I'm wondering if I can use this spare fitting as a fill point.

I just ordered a set of H1 12 bolt wheels with 37s and I need to find a set of wheel spacers. There's a lot of Ebay-type stuff out there, but I'm looking for recomendations from some folks that have used them before. Where can I find some good quality spacers with good hardware in them?
Thanks!!
I've been trying to educate myself on lift kits for the M1008 and I have some questions about converting to the late model, 64" springs in the rear. I already have a set of these springs laying around my shop, so that's part of the draw for me. I was looking at the ORD shackle flip rear lift and...
Like the title says, I've got 3 glow plugs that test wacky on my m1008. 2 show no connection on the meter and one reads over 3ohms. I was going to replace all 3, but I'm wondering if I should stick with the stock replacements (AC60G I think) or upgrade. Can you run different brands of GPs...
Hey folks, just wanted to briefly introduce myself! My name is Don, and I'm from Bakersfield, CA. I recently picked up a M1009 and a M1008A1 to restore, play with and eventually sell. (Unless I fall in love with them, which tends to happen!) I stumbled across this site and I'm looking forward to...
