    Re-Gearing a M1009's axles

    the 12 bolt 8 7/8 axle is way better than the 10 bolt in my opinion carrier split for 44/10/12 bolt is 3.73 and down.....4.10 and up carrier split for 14 ff is 4.10 and down.....4.56 and up When I destroyed a set of 3.73s 4 wheelin'(44/14bolt) I found front and rear 4.56 at the...

    Re-Gearing a M1009's axles

    if I were you...I would get gears from a junk yard(there's nothing wrong with that!) ditch the gov. loc if you can...they too have a service life and I found the end of it atleast twice on 1/2 ton running gear....anything with clutches is good, just get rid of the pins/springs/etc. Make sure...

    m1008 at work in flood

    if I remember correctly I found specs on my 1008 that said fording depth 20", If you put electric fans and a snorkel on any truck it'll do way more, my guess is you probably wont go above the door sill though!

    Oh joy. Problems - Power steering pump and more!

    the only things I can really think of are u-joints, loose tranfer case crossmember/bushings, e-brake cables flopping around/rubbing exhaust pipe...maybe even loose caps/u-bolts on driveline/ broken leaf spring/broken exhaust pipe hanger...this ones got me curious, i'd like to know

    Deathwobble fixed and back again, help!

    well, rather than start a new thread I figure i'll piggy back this one...... Today my 1008 started the wobble from some very minoot* bumps on the road, speed limit about 35....slowed down and it went away A little later driving about 50 I hit the brakes for a stop light and it wobbled worse...

    Shifting poorly and bad shudder

    the problem does not seem to be vaccuum to me......maybe a partially clogged filter, it's a cheap try......if you replace filter, make sure that you re-use as much of the origanol fluid as possible. Nothing will make a old, almost ready to fail transmission go to it's grave quicker than 8 new...

    new starter hitting flywhell sometimes

    can you just slide out the gear? It may require a screwdriver or something but I'm pretty sure it wont hurt anything, be careful and gentle!

    Oh joy. Problems - Power steering pump and more!

    shot in the dark bolts should be 3/8, if vise grips dont work than you'll have to drill it out...bummer if you look under the truck i'm confident the issue will stand out, or do what I do when I cant find the problem....wait till' something breaks!

    darn rubber hoses....

    I haven't found many previous threads for some reason, I would think that (IP) (rubber hoses) would have given more info...... My 1008 has a rubber line going from filter to IP pump...it's getting noticably worn and someone has double hose clamped it under the intake!!(cant be factory right?)...

    custom lift I guess I didn't really read the article correctly! 5" of CUSTOM lift....that changes things a little, as I am still skeptical of how this is even possible.....I can really wrap my head around it with a few numbers...... Distance in inches from top of spring pad in...
