So I just changed my front brake pads. And both outer pads were worn, but the inside or piston side pads are barely worn? Also sense installing the new pads, the truck stops significantly better. The calipers & pads were the first things I replaced when I bought the truck 30000 miles ago.

Okay before we start here's all the parameters (M1028,..(Banks turbo),.. (Gear vendors O.D).,.. (31" tires),.. (new all aluminum Rad),..... So the problem I'm having goes like this.. When driven on short trips around town (55-70 MPH), the temp stays between 190°-195° and all's normal. The...

M1009 acoustic jam video I follow this guy in Instagram. He's a very talented and accomplished musician who also sews his own 70's outfits and rocks a freshly restored M1009.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtfZ2GUq9P8

I thought I'd better start a new thread on this portion of my lift saga:roll:. After finally finishing a 2-1/2" lift on my M1028 using a skyjacker kit in the front, and ORD shackle flip & U-bolt flip in the rear. I noticed I have a broken rear leaf. After several phone calls to online sources...

My front leaf springs are shot, and the rear U-bolts are rotted out. So I'm doing a small 2-1/2" lift using a combination of a skyjacker lift kit and ORD shackle flip & U-bolt flip. I figured while I was at it I would replace the spring eye bolts. But I'm having trouble finding a compete kit. I...

So as it's bin getting warmer here in GA my, M1028 has also bin getting warmer on the highway, sometimes up to 210°. So I figured I'd try a new radiator, fan clutch, and (unrelated, but sense I had the rad out) a new harmonic balancer. I found this rad on line, but it says it for C30. Is there a...

Okay I'll try and make this short, but I want to explain it all. I changed the trans fluid, and swapped the pan out for a after market deeper one. The gasket that came with the new pan failed spraying trans fluid EVERYWHERE! So I degreased the whole underside of the truck, Installed a new...

I promise I read all I could about lift kits before starting another lift thread:drool:. I really didn't want to lift my M1028, but the front springs are shot. And I really should do the rear U-bolt flip as mine look a little scary. I only want to do a 2" lift which is proving difficult to find...

So after chasing down my high idle problem by replacing both the high idle solenoid and the temp sensor. I decided to go ahead and replace the glow plug inhibitor / temp sensor located on the drivers side head. After much research I found out that a new one would be an updated version requiring...

So over the past 3 days when I start the truck in the morning my high idle solenoid keeps shutting off prematurely. It re-engages if I blip the throttle, but I have to do it 3-4 times till the truck is properly warmed. Do I need to just replace it, or does it just need to be cleaned or something?

(Disclaimer, wiring is a mystery to me)..... So my drivers side taillight is haunted:shock:. The blinker works , but the running lights aren't getting any power. I checked (as best I know how) the main plug above the spare tire with a test light and the brown wire for that side has no power also...

Okay I'll be the first one to bring it up:gimp:. Of course the first episode had to be an interduction to the "Wacky" cast. But I liked the willys they did. I'm curious how much power that 4BT twin turbo makes? And they seem to deal with a lot of Military stuff. I saw a couple CUCV's in the...

M1028, TH400,with Gear vendors OD, Banks Turbo. I'm having some issues with the truck over heating on the highway. I think I've got it narrowed down to the NON locking torque converter slipping and heating up the RAD. Is there a thicker fluid I could use, that would perhaps give me less...

Electrical is not my strong suit. Can anybody point me in the right direction (pun intended ) as to what would cause this? When I turn on the left blinkers they just stay on and all lights illuminate. When I turn on the head lights the 2 left front marker lights won't light up and it still...

After replacing all 4 tires + the spare . I realized reinstalling the spare tire is a ridiculous process, involving a floor jack, feet, and cussingaua. I found some pics online mentioning a (Glide-out spare tire carrier) mostly used for Chevy trucks with RV bodies. The only problem is they are...

So we had our first real good cold snap of the year here in GA. And when I went to start my M1028 the other morning (30° outside), and it sprayed about 1/4 QT of oil out from around the oil filter gasket. It only leaked for a second, and once pressurized and warmed the leak stopped. This must...

So I found this on you tube today and thought it was interesting. I guess I could pretend to drive my truck when ever it breaks down.........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLnCnf0c0nU

So I've noticed now that the weather has gotten warmer that there is a very sleight delay when I shut off the key. The engine continues to run, but only for about ah half ah second. Is this something I should be concerned with? Is there something going bad? Or is this just ah normal summer time...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_Sl6wiowjI, I see it's mounted to a M103-A3 trailer. But there's no mention of what the utility box is?

When I'm driving down the highway the drivers, side view mirror shakes up and down. All the bolts are tight , I think it's the door skin it's self. Does anybody have an ingenious way of how to fix this?
