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

Yeah the machine your talking about is what I mentioned earlier. It's called a "Lubricity tester" and is a scam in it's self. Here's a video explaining it....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne7ayhPVVYY

Oil additives are the oldest trick in the book. I've read up on these from time to time and the story always ends the same (SCAM). From the fake lubricity testing machines, to the drop of oil penetrating a block of cast iron "NO DUH" cast iron is porous:cookoo:. No auto manufacturer recommends...

Finally finished my 3" lift.

Agree, forget the snake oil, fix in a bottle stuff of any kind. They will simply cause destruction of other parts. Replace the radiator, and the thermostat and add a temp gauge while your at it.

Duly noted, but I'm confident this set is in much better shape then my originals (once I wash the red Georgia clay off them), plus now I have a spare.

Yeah that's the plan. I've just got to find/order the valve thing and switch. I've really needed to add a second tank for a while. I put 3000+ miles per month over the road on this truck and it will be nice to have the extra capacity.

Well score!! I stopped at a local repair shop today and the owner happened to have a set on an axle he just pulled yesterday. I also scored a right side fuel tank. $80.00 for the springs, $75.00 for the tank with brackets.

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...

Cool thanks for the specs guy's. However now I have a new problem. I just finished the U-bolt flip when I noticed I have a broken leaf on the drivers side. Where do I find a stock replacement set of leaf springs for an M1028???

Okay can someone please help me find the torque specs for the leaf springs? I've stared at the TM's till I can't stand it anymore and still can't find them:shrugs:.

Agree with earlier responses and I'd like to add. If those calipers are original to the truck, or just questionable. I'd replace them in quick order, regardless if their the cause of the steering problem or not. And also don't forget to grease them with the proper grease so they can float like...

AGREE!!! yeah I'd gladly trade you my bench seat for a set of buckets!

I use the Walmart 2cycle oil 1 Quart per tank.http://www.walmart.com/ip/16795065?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227017563166&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=79150168488&wl4=pla-110033429328&wl5=9011187&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=16795065&wl13=&veh=sem I've also...

Chrome don't get yah home!:tank: Agree with an earlier post, it's your truck do what you want. But I think most of us would agree these trucks are all about "anti-bling". The thing I like the most about my camo M1028 is I don't have to worry about scratches, door dings, or even washing it! The...

I like the studs, I didn't even think of that! As for the shackles, FOR NOW, I just want to replace the stock bolts fast & cheap. I was thinking of doing a set of those revolver shackles in the distant future. But again FOR NOW I just want to have a set of stock replacements on hand incase the...

Thanks for the offer cucvrus but I already ordered a U-bolt flip kit from ORD;-)....

I'm talking about the "spring eye bolts". The ones that mount the springs to the shackles. I did figure I could just go to the ACE hardware but I wont know what size they are until I get them all pulled off. I think the rear most ones are different then the rest? Also I doubt the hardware store...

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...
