    Transmission leak

    Thank you very much.

    Transmission leak

    Thank you wkbrdngsnw but I wish it was that easy. The fluid level was good. Ok, I hooked my 18 ft fish/ski boat to it today and drove it roughly 30 miles and the leak started again. I snapped a few pictures and I have the general area located. The transmission itself is totally dry from the...

    Transmission leak

    I will check both suggestions. It's just weird that it could leak our 2 whole quarts and now it is not leaking at all.

    Thank you. I am going today to get new oil to change the fluid out completely.

    Zero Rate Blocks

    I received them from ORD and plan on installing them soon in the front and back. Have any of you installed them with no other lift with the sole purpose of moving the front axle forward an inch? Will the drive shaft still be long enough in the front after moving it forward an inch and raising...

    Transmission leak

    I have only had my M1008 for a few months. When I first got it it had a crack in the transmission line right at the brace were the lines cross over on the bottom. I ended up putting in a double sided compression fitting and it has worked great. Since that time I have put about 2000 miles on...

    Rear Bearings

    I changeds the brakes on my M1008 today all the way around. This is my first time working on one either of these types of axles so I have a question on the rear. When I took the hub off the bearings were being lubricated by gear oil from the axle. Is this supposed to be this way or should...

    Morning engine surge?

    When you are letting it warm up are you waiting for your fast idle to kick off before you begin to drive it?

    Anyone going to Powerline Park this weekend?

    The truck did amazing. I wish I had some lift on it as some of the holes were too deep. There were some mighty big trucks there. In my group I was the only one that actually drove my truck there (130 miles one way) and the only one that did not break anything while I was there. First time I have...

    Gen2 light and back battery charging

    I just went through the same problem. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/52396-gen-2-problems.html This is the thread where I recieved lots of help. It has great information as well as the circuit diagrams. Even though the bulb itself is 12V you should have 24V going to the socket. Good...

    Front wheel hop while braking?

    I had some of the same problems but hey went away when I replace the bushings in the front springs. The pin that ran through the shackle had pushed all the way through the bushings on one side. I don't know if this had the front axle sitting just a little bit out of alignment but it went...

    24 volt gauge

    OKoffroad.com Stuff - 24 Volt DC Voltmeter Mine don't work either but I think I am going to get this one. You might be able to find them cheaper, I don't know. I just like the style of this one.

    M1008 Hitch Install

    It is a CLass 5. It is rated at 15,000 at the ball and 16,000 with weight distribution. So much for the "Do not cut, drill or weld" instructions.

    M1008 Hitch Install

    I have seen many people post about hitches on here so I figured I would post what I did. First I searched all the hitches out there to find one strong enough to tow anything I wanted, something that would go along with the great strength of the truck. Unfortunately they do not make a...

    Gen 2 problems

    Is this the Ground Wire you are talking about. It is the only one I see and it runs into the main harness. It seems to be in great shape.

    Gen 2 problems

    Possible the ignition switch is bad or would something else cause the engine to keep running when you turn the key off?

    Gen 2 problems

    LOL, :doh: Number 15 did not have a fuse in it at all. I guess that changes things a little. The decscriptions are not real readable on the fuse box. But this poses another problem all together. I went ahead and jumped it to an ignition wire and EVERYTHING is working properly. Just for...
