Consider sending Papabear a PM. He's got an outstanding and inspirational story behind one of his Gun Trucks, The Proud American. He might be able to offer some insight or advice.

Yea they are a bit excessive. They look louder then they really are. They are electric cheapo horns. They will be gone once I find a stock horn.

Jay, I'm in Columbus/Fort Benning. I uploaded them from my phone. Even though I took them right side up, they appear sideways when I upload them from my phone. I sent them to myself in an email and they are still sideways. I'm not too concerned with it. I don't typically post many pictures...

Now that I am back from New Orleans recovering my 1008, I had a chance to clean it up and take some pictures! :driver: It's an 84 M1008, with a 6.5TD, 4L80 transmission, and a re built gear drive NP205. 10,200 miles on the drivetrain rebuild. The truck is wet so some of the pictures make it...

nice looking truck! Good luck with the lift! The Rough country kit I used was great. No problems with the installation. I would let the bolts soak in PB blaster though! My 3/4 impact got a workout getting the leaf spring bolts off!

im getting about 20 at idle and 40-45 at speed with my 6.5TD. Haven't thought to check and see if the gauge is off, but that seems to be in line with what I've read on the forum

Howdy from Columbus GA.

PB is just an ol' crunchy in my book. Too bad thats the last sound the grunts make when they get squished under our tank tracks. :lol::popcorn: Timntrucks-nope, no food for me. I went down and did a turn and burn back to Columbus. The extent of my food was a pack of crackers and a Dr...

sounds like u-joints

well I made it back in one piece from New Orleans. Tomorrow I will get some better, full size pictures. 17MPG doing 70mph on the way back. 380 miles.

Tomorrow morning I am setting out to go recover my new to me 1984 M1008 out of New Orleans. This is my replacement to my 1009 that I sold Mr. Papabear. It hasn't been a week yet and I miss it already. Im taking 65 South to I-10 west into the big easy. Hopefully all will work out smoothly as I...

Did you pull him out in 2wd or 4? And if in 4 were you in 4L?

2 inch rough country lift. 33/12.5/15 Firestone Destination M/Ts.

The lines at the expansion block need to be tightened and it will be a good system. That's a nice looking truck PB. I'm glad to see that it is staying within the CAMO group, and not to a 16 year old kid who wants to tear it up off road. [thumbzup]

I average 23mpg at 60mph on the highway. I have 33's on my 1009 though.

I installed Buy Mr. Gasket Electric Fuel Pump Diesel 12D at Advance Auto Parts and it hasn't failed me yet. It's pushes 7 PSI and works perfectly on my 1009. The reviews aren't great on the web site but mine has lasted for 18+ months with no issue. I ran new lines to the tank, parallel to the...

when torque specs are in doubt, use German engineering... Guten Tight. :beer:

Bear has lost a lot of weight since you took that picture :shock:
