    M1008 14 bolt upgrade??

    Other than gearing deeper for a dana 70 rear a 14bolt is actually a better rear beacuse of the pinion support bearing. The only real drawback to a 14bolt is the yoke.

    What the heck is going on now?

    Your last paragraph sounds exactly like timing to me. And yes timing will cause white smoke, basically if it gets off enough the fuel is injected at the wrong time causing the engine to not burn it properly and then white smoke. Why can it slip just like that, well some times the bolts get...

    What the heck is going on now?

    I really think to be able to truely diagnose your problem you need to start with the gunk and rtv your sucking up, find that area, and fix it. If your still having white smoke at WOT, then I would ensure your aif filter is clean and unobstructed, then check to make sure the engine is reaching...

    Leaking brake line M1009

    personally I would replace the entire line, all you need is a double flare and you can get the lines at any auto parts store. Would be a good time to also check your rear wheel cylinders, and shoes and drums, as well as front calipers and rotors, and pads. there might be nothing wrong with any...

    Ive seen people do the above mentioned way, by turing the truck over, but I wouldn't recomend it.

    What the heck is going on now?

    There are a number of things that can cause white smoke(unburnt fuel) – if it persists after the engine has warmed up. It can be as a result of a faulty injector, timing problems (normal cause), low engine compression, and/or a faulty fuel pump. Air in the fuel system can also cause this...

    What the heck is going on now?

    if your getting rtv in the fuel filter there has to be some type of repair in the fuel system before the filter or your supplier has some nasty fuel. Down on power could be the rtv still plugging the lines, before the filter, or if some how the rtv ended up in tank from supplier the pickup...

    Failed turbo install

    makes sense, I thought you were talking alot higher egts than that, yeah I can see you problem especially if your towing with the 3.08's. You still will probably after turbo install be able to turn a 1/4 turn on your fuel screw for better spool up. Also I suggest reading Oliver Diesel -...

    Failed turbo install

    I have never installe a banks kit on a 2wd just saw that you sourced kit from a 2wd. On another note if your truck is stock (adding turbo to lower EGT's) I dont see how your having EGT issues unless you have a faulty injector or more than one. And timing way off. Do you have a egt gauge...

    Home Made Tow Bar

    I dont know how much a military tow bar goes for price wise, the large bar for the m35. But i would imagine unless you had alot of steel laying around to properly build one you would spend as much if not more in materials.

    How does this M1008 sound?

    looking at a 1008 listed im my local craigslist for 3k its just as clean as that but stock wheels and tires. I hope to offer 2800 and get it. But honestly I think that truck is well worth 3750, if its not leaking and drives good, stters straight and stops good. I think you would be getting a...
