Never use starter fluid in a diesel.

Welcome from Alabama.

Just ordered a trans. vacuum valve from Doghead for $75. I had been to the Chevy dealership parts dept this morning and got a price of $150 and change. I don't really need one, but at that price, I'll take one in case I need it and if I don't I can always get my money back.

I have read several posts about cleaning the fuses etc. I found out why the other day. Was on the road and it started raining, turned on the wipers and they worked for about five minutes and quit. I checked the fuse today and it was ok, but the contacts were all fouled up. I took my knife and...

Mine work.

Update. I had the upper and lower ball joints on both sides replaced, both rotors and brake pads replaced, four shocks replaced, right rear wheel seal replaced, three lug nuts replaced, inner and outer bearings replaced, seals and spindel bearings replaced, both hubs replaced. Now I need to...

Replaced both front hubs, both brake rotors, 4 shocks, right rear seal, inner and outer front left seals. 3 lug nuts, seals and spindle kit, ign lock, upper and lower ball joints on both sides. Yep, my M1008 has ball joints, someone swapped out the front end before I got it. Has a dana 44...

Before I bought it, I checked it out in a field and it did good in 4wd.

Recovry 4x4, I found the numbers on the chunk. 44-5cf and C35585. The mech. at the shop said it's a 3/4 ton front end. Said it would take a k20 ball joints. Parts numbers--top K-8194T and bottom, K-8195T. That sound about right? I'm to take it in tomorrow and let them replace the joints and...

When I go to the parts store for ball joints, what do I ask for? 77 truck or earlier, or take the old ones in and let them take a look at them or maybe the mech. I get to take them might know? Thanks in advance. Andy

No, I'm not planning on lifting it, just take my dogs for rides, go to town etc., nothing fast or heavy. You have put my mind at ease, knowing I didn't buy a piece of junk.

Thanks, I'm glad the pics came through. Is the 14ff rear end the original rear end on the m1008?

I took a look at the TM about the diff. on the m1008 and m1009 and it shows both with 10 bolt covers. Does that help? TM wrong?

I just went back to my first message and reread it, I said the 1008 near me had hubs that didn't stick out as much as mine. I got it bassackards. It had the long hubs and mine the short one. Sorry about that. I made things more confusing.

Recovry4x4--It really drives good and sounds good even at 55mph. There are some mv owners around, but only two with m1008's. One I contacted is undergoing cemo, and he doesn't have much info. He said when he feels better, we will get together and take a look at them. There is another one near me...

Cucvfreek, I pulled up your pictures, you got some good looking trucks. I did notice that the front hub on your 1008 sticks out alot more than the one on my truck. You doing the work yourself? Andy
