    M1008 rear axle (seal replacement)

    The oil treasures are not so nice. Did the hubs have any slop before you pulled them off? Does your pinion have any slop? Can you turn your pinion with your pinky finger with no effort? What does your ring and pinion look like? What does the surface of the spindle look like where the hub seal...

    new motor, smoke, ticking...

    Sounds like an injector. Pull them and have them tested. I have had a new stanadyne injector give me fits on a skid steer loader before. It should only take a half hour to pull all the injectors on that bank. I think the socket size is 30mm... maybe. An injection shop should test them for...

    M1008 rear axle (seal replacement)

    Once you get it apart take a look at the spindles. If the sealing surface is pitted or scored consider the two piece seals that Offroad Design sells. They are cheaper and easier than a speedi sleeve.

    Second opinion on my loss of power diagnosis please!

    The water on the pump diagnostic trick will let you know if your head and rotor are junk or not. The bad thing about that method is that if your head and rotor are good, and you toss cold water on it when hot a possibility that the head will shrink around the rotor and sieze. The head and...

    3 Q's: Ever hear of a 6.5T with "1 wire pump", increasing towing, 700R4 into 1028A1 ?

    When I want to tow my buddies 25K gooseneck with something heavy on it I go for my other pickup which has a Cummins 6BT and a New Venture Gear 5600 transmission. Asking a 700R4 to deal with a 14 ton trailer is asking the impossible. A 700R4 is a great transmission to pair up with a 6.5, if it...

    Electric fuel pump recommendation

    Digging up an old thread... I have come to the conclusion that Carter vane type electric pumps are not a good match with the DB2 injection pump. The previous owner of my rig installed one, and with it's 25+ psi output it was too much for the DB2. So I figured I would install a regulator and...

    M1008 700R4 Swap: Parts and Prices

    You can always post here in the parts wanted section. Other options include eBay. The TV bracket and rod is a little hard to come by. If you live in an urban area with a pick-n-pull yard you may be in luck, they have an online inventory tool so that you can check how many 82-87 square box...

    Do you plan on installing it yourself?

    1.2 cst Injector Pumps and turbo

    So, you need a 1-2" micrometer, compressed air and some tools to accurately measure the roller to roller dimension of the pump. That is the only way to know what the max fuel is set at. Honestly I'd just slap it on and try running it the way it is. The artic pump is only different in that the...

    Where can I buy king pin studs?

    Those are nice! I didn't know they were offered.

    Where can I buy king pin studs?

    Steering arm studs can be had from ARP... Just not 5" long ones. You can get a 2 foot long grade 8 stud from McMaster-Carr and cut your own. Part number 90322A166. They also sell tapered nuts, part number 4991T965. Personally I'd never run a riser block under a steering arm, which must be...

    rear hub seals on 14 bolt ff

    A full floating Dana rear axle is identical in seal design to a 14 bolt. The AAM 10.5/11.5" axles that have been used in Dodge and Chevy 3/4 and one ton pickups are also similar, but they use two part seals identical to the ones ORD sells. I had a two part seal sieze together and spin on the...

    rear hub seals on 14 bolt ff

    Yep, any excess oil just goes back into the spindle bore into the tube and back to the center section once the pickup is level. Personally I do not grease the bearings. I just assemble the hub, squirt a little oil on the bearings, properly set the bearing preload with the spindle nuts, slide...

    M1009 4inch Lift - Tires Wheels Bolt Pattern Offset???

    Mine is on M1008 axles, so I can't run 15" wheels as they won't clear the brake caliper without cutting a lot of material off the caliper. I have 16.5x8.25" HMMWV wheels that are recentered. I have flat centers, so the backspacing is maxed out as far as HMMWV wheels go. My backspacing is about...

    M1009 4inch Lift - Tires Wheels Bolt Pattern Offset???

    I wouldn't get too crazy buying wheels just yet. I don't know what the limitations are on 15" wheels on 10 bolt axles, but personally I would run a wheel narrower than 10", with at least 4" backspace. You can run into scrub radius issues with wide wheels and small backspacing. It pushes the...

    White silicon RTV?

    One wild guess is that it is Dow Corning 730. The stuff has a NSN number and is a fuel and oil resistant silicon white rtv goop.

    700r4 tv cable

    He has an advertisement in the classifieds. I replied to it a couple days ago with pictures of the bracket I have for sale and my asking price.
