I've got a stock 1984 M1008 that I use solely for snow plowing. I plow with the transfer case in low 4wd. On a few occasions I have spun all four tires at the same time when pushing a heavy load on packed snow. I use V-bar chains on all four wheels. Is there some locking or limited slip feature...

Thanks. I just bought the "07 Chevy wheels. The offset is about one inch less than the original wheels, so the tire will just be a little further to the outside, which I assume won't matter. At least there won't be any clearance issues.

Right, I've got that, but wanted to be sure that the center hole, offset, etc. was the same.

Will the wheels from a 2007 Chevy 3/4 ton (8 lug) fit my 1984 M1008? I've got a chance to buy all 4 with good tires at a good price, but it's a long drive just to see if they fit. (245 75R 16)

I bought my 1984 M1008 specifically for plowing. mounted a brand new Western Prodigy plow (self adjusting wings), rebuilt the transmission and transfer case, added a trans oil cooler, built a box to mount counterweight (900 lbs of rocks) as far rearward as possible, V-bar chains all around...

Tried replying to Chaski and 73m819 both. Replies not showing up. Don't know why. Thanks all.

Meant my replies to go to 73m819 and Chaski; thanks both.

Yes, thanks!

Sounds like what my mechanic just told me........................thanks.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to tell my mechanic. Every time I need to bring this thing to town I have to remove 900 lbs of rocks (counterweight to plow), tire chains, and the plow. I usually do my own work, but the last axle and hub I replaced was ten years ago and it no longer looks like fun.

thanks for the info.

I just checked with my mechanic and he feels sure it is a bearing (I forget which one) on the front axle. I will also look at the universals, but they all looked good last time I checked, and since the noise is only when the hubs are engaged I think my mechanic is probably right. I will also be...

1984 M1008. Have newly rebuilt transmission (TH400) and transfer case (NP200). When I coast down a hill in 4WD with hubs locked I get an intermittent rubbing/grinding noise. I do not get any noise when I unlock the hubs. I sucked some differential fluid out of the front differential and it is...

Thank you all for your attention to my problem!

I finally traced the white wire. It had bare spots and the plug end was very dirty. Replaced the wire, cleaned the plug, and that was it; works great now. I never would have found this without your help....THANK YOU!

I finally located and replaced that white wire, which was bare in places, and cleaned a very dirty plug at the fuel heater end and that was the problem! I never would have found it on my own and very much appreciate the tip.....THANK YOU.

I understand how you feel about keeping things original, but I'm an old guy and not so spry anymore. Also have a backhoe and dump truck to get fixed. Since the truck is only used for plowing, I would be happy with a simple system, one wiper speed would be OK, and do not need the washer. (I also...

Don't see the wire you mentioned. Didn't know I had a fuel heater.

Thanks for your reply. Hate to be such a dummy, but what is the -20? If it's a repair manual how can I get one? I'm having trouble tracing the shorted wire. I'm thinking of just running a new hot wire to the motor, but can't figure out where. I've never seen a wiper motor like this. Seems to be...

I spoke too soon. I had the fuse in the wrong place. There is a short to ground downstream from the wire plug. I checked all five pins, and the three center ones are all grounded. I assume the two outside are hot in and hot out? Anyway, does anyone know how/where to access the wiper motor?
