Similar problem here. My PS fluid is leaking at the Brake Booster. I am hoping that the Lucas Stop Leak (once added) will correct this. My first symptoms were a pulating brake pedal when stopping, and slight PS pump whine. Fluid added, all was well again. I have not been able to located the...

Good Catch! Wished I had dual tanks.

Can you explain how this happens. I am not familiar with these systems hydroboost etc.

Yeah, I hope we get an update soon as well. Amazing build.

I watch the Volt meter to know that they have went through their cycle correctly and then turned off before hitting the road.

I have a keyed battery disconnect on my dash. Would throwing this work to save my starter should this happen? It has always been my plan in the event the glow plug malfunction. Guess I can plan on doing this for a bad starter relay too?

Great Pics! Thanks for posting them.

Had the clicking here as well. Cleaned the pickup, and blew out the tubing with compressed air. Then it worked.

If it were me I would only use starter bolts with factory Tq. I would not use a grade 8 at all.

Very good looking trucks, Keep them coming.

I changed mine (oil filter looking as well) this weekend. Bleed the best you can before starting. I had to crank several times (Short, <4 seconds) to get it up and running again. I waited maybe a minute or two between tries, bleeding small amounts of air on the bleed screw at the filter housing...

I got just over 18mpg in my M1008 on the way home from picking it up. 4 hour ride, all under 53mph and very few stops. I wasn't sure how reliable she was going to be so I took it very easy. I can say that the bottom half of the tank is MUCH smaller than the top half. The needle falls fast under...

I'm sure it varies from state to state. I haven't been able to find a lot of detail on laws regarding proper tag display for Alabama. I have not found a requirement for tag lighting for my state.

I'm about to put the pintle back on. My tag will be going to the back window of the cab hanging from two suction cups with hooks on them.

I had thought about the pintle/ball combo myself. The only problem is that the pintle location on my M1008 is too high for most civi trailers that I would be using. Eventually I will be adding a reciever hitch below the bumber and keeping the pintle on the bumper.

Do you have any pics of your transmission swap? Have thought about doing the same thing one day.

My truck runs great. Of course, I would love to get more power out of her. Will the IP adjustment create a noticeable power increase? Are there any negative effects of doing so? Does a How To with pictures exist for this? And back to my initial statement - Should I just leave well enough...

Thanks. What is the most common failure: Steady on till they burn out, or a repeated cycle on and off for far too long?

Thanks for the feedback guys. Glad to hear that nothing is out of the ordinary. I have been reading about all the glow plug related issues and wanted to make sure. I like to know that they have turned off for good before I hit the road.

I am not sure that my glow plugs are going through the correct sequence during startup. Here's what's happening: Switch on, Wait light on. I believe I can hear the glow plug relay engage. With the engagement comes corresponding voltage meter fluctuation - Lower when on, then higher when off...
