I don't know if this is the right place for this question or not. I need to know how the run how operate the boom, basically from start to finish? I was helping a friend recover one the other day and we could not get it to work. We got the rear wench to work but could not get the boom to do...

I am planning a frame off restoration of my 1985 M1008. The biggest questions I have is about the motor. What are the differences between the civilian 12v 6.2 and the military 24v 6.2? I know the starter is different, but what else is there that I cant get at the auto parts store? If there is...

I am in the Indy area too and this will be my first rally I am looking for someone to convoy with. PM me and we can get together. I am also thinking about meeting the guys coming through Cincinnati and convoying in with them. Someone said something about getting there early enough to get a...

I get all my parts from www.lmctruck.com a lot of what they have are not after market. They have bought a lot of the OEM molds and stamp their own stuff. I got my inner fenders from them and they basically bolted right in. I got cab corner, rocker panels from them too.

I have nothing but trouble out of the GL guys in Richmond, the other guy that was there before past away and these other guys just don't care. When I was there recovering a truck I watch the GL guy slam into the side of two already paid for trucks and dent the piss out of them as he lifted them...

I want to change the gearing in the diffs so the truck doesn't sound like its going to blow up at 50mph. Can anyone tell me what size gear set to use please? I want lower rpm's at 60 6- but still want a descent pulling power. Also what kind of diffs are in the M1008?

I am getting ready to do my SF-97 on my M1008 and wanted to know what to put down. The Data plate in the door jam says make and model then that is followed by CD-30903. Now is CD the make and 30903 the model? Do I put this down instead of Chevy as the make and I don't even know what model Chevy...

There is a bracket on the passanger side floor board of my M1008. Can someone tell me what this is for, and the bracket in the center of the dash, is that a radio mount of some sort?

Thanks guys this helped a lot.

Does anyone know where I can find the little twist things that hold the read cover on? My truck is missing about half, and about half of the ones still on are are very loose.

Thank you all for your replies. So what I getting is that I can run what ever, but it will run better hooking the FDC back up. Did they tend to leave them on the truck and just bypass them, or did they remove them? Is it fairly easy to hook back up? I am looking at a M35A2 with CARC paint, all...

I am looking at some dueces to buy, and when I am looking under the hood I am seeing a data plate on the right side of the motor that says Hercules multifuel but the fuel tank says diesel fuel only. I'm confuses as to if it is multifuel or not? The other question is what does multifuel mean? Can...

They are either sticks or as we did when we had an RV there are companies that make mods that are quick disconnects, they even make units that sit on the floor that apply the brakes in the tow vehicle.

I may be wrong here, but this doesn't sound right because the steer axle looks to be just as wide, so it would still be over width wouldn't it?

Got a letter today from GL that says GL would normally obtain a FL ttle for our customers in Indiana, however, as this vehicle weighs less that 2000 lbs. (GL must use the dimensions and formula that FL requires. we cannot obtain a Florida title because Florida does not issue title for...

I won two M1008"s out of Richmond Va. The only reason I bid on then was because one has all fiberglass Racks and troop seats, and the has a tow bar in the bed sticking out from under the tarp in two of the photo's. When I went to recover them the racks and seats were gone off the one and so was...

WOW! I thought this would be the last place I would people against what made this great country what it is, or what it used to be, because of people thinking like this. Why is it any of our business what he is selling then for or even less your business what people are paying. Whats it worth...
