Might wanna have that 700R rebuilt to handle the power from that 6.5 Optimizer. That trans is nowhere near as bullet proof as a 480LE or Turbo 400...

I have not touched the injection pump on my 85 m1008. No idea if the guy I bought it from turned it up either..... the ole 6.2 definitely rattles though lol If I hit the bottom of a grade at 55-57mph, it'll usually start to lose speed depending on how steep and how long the grade is. I also...

3301.... and I'll never buy another one lol. Their "compact" wheelbase design does not lend itself to stability.

I tow my tractor n trailer with my M1008 a few times a month. The m1008 handles the load(7500lbs) just fine. Just not going to win a speed contest doing it.....

A worn out shock will effect ride height... had it happen on my m1008

Shocks first..

I had the same thing on my 86 M1008. It was a simple tap it out and put a new one in. Haven't had a problem with it yet...

Bought the ole 💩box 3yrs ago lol

I'd have to log on to FB to find pics of my 86 M1008 when I bought it 3yrs ago.... not happening lol It had sat in a field for 3yrs before I bought it. The owner thought the engine was ruined because some ex GF poured sugar in the fuel tank. I just kept my mouth shut and threw out a lowball...

Just remember that you will have to change the differentials to use 4:10 gears... My 79 K20 has the SM465 and 4:10 gears paired with Toyo 255 85r16's. According to my tach, I'm going 65mph at 2400rpm's I thought about doing the same swap to my 86 M1008, then remembered that 1st to 2nd gear...

The RPO sheet was missing from inside the glove box, so I had to check the VIN to verify

VIN# 1GCGD34J2FF

I double checked the VIN before I bought the truck..... and YES it IS an M1008. It was carc green, but at some point in time while it was in the military it got painted dark flat blue. After the military the truck went to the East Point Police were it was painted blk/white.

Dobbin Dobbins AF base was not too far from my house when I was growing up and in high school in the 80's. I specifically remember driving past the AF base and seeing some of the service vehicles painted a dark flat blue. And my VIN number verified that I have an 85 M1008...

I guess not lol....

And swap a new harmonic balancer onto the engine. Cheap insurance for a 6.2 diesel..

My 85 M1008 was an Air Force truck from either Dobbins or Warner Robbins in Ga. Mine was painted a dark blue color...

Did that to my 85 M1008..

Any parts store should have one..

I tow my tractor n trailer which is about 7500lbs with my M1008. For the short distances I have to pull it, it works just fine....
