OK I am starting to wonder/worry but figure i need some facts first. I know these are not the highest horse engines, but can you spin tire on dirt? on pavement? My 1008 I cant even spin tire from a dead stop on a dirt road....just wondering if there is something wrong...lol. I know its...

I am in the process of having my m1008 "restored" However I want a set of aluminum rims and a set of 33" tires that I purchased for another project. I read another thread and I saw the a member did a 4" lift for 35's so my question is, what do I need for 33's? It has 235 85 16's now, which...

I need to adapt a 7 prong trailer plug on my 1008. I have identified the green,yellow,black and brown wires. Just curious what the brown w/tracer and green w/tracer wires are. Unless im looking at the wrong part of the -20, It only lists the trailer function wires. Thanks

I recently pulled a Shelton hitch from a similar year k20. I read a few threads, and knew that it wasnt gonna be a direct bolt in. My problem is, it isnt even close. I basically cant get anything to line up. Are the 1 ton frames different than a 3/4 ton? I know the rear cross member is...

I am the 1st civi owner of my m1008, and shortly after bringing her home, I noticed an oil leak at the rear of the engine. Before digging in, I checked the site and saw that rear mains are common. Tonight I pulled the cap, only to find....a new style neoprene seal:| Sure enough I planned little...

OK, My alts are now both charging, and after a trip to the local repair shop, some of this and some of that, he got the pass side Alt charging. He used a short jumper from the small red(in connector) to the brown beside it, and boom. So my question-which he couldnt answer is this. The brown...

OK, I swapped in a new cluster, just so I would have oil presssure, temp, and 2 volt gauges. Until this point everything works fine, but the CUCV dash guage wouldnt register into the green until I drove the truck for a mile or so. Now its nothing, about 1/2 way up the red on the oem gauge...

I drive short distance to work, however my volt gauge never goes into the green, and after a few starts it goes dead. HOWEVER, on a trip to the store after aprox, 1 mile or so, it goes from yellow to green and charges normally. Is there anyt I have to carry too much gear in the winter, so i...

I had all my papers sent back from Harrisburg saying that I needed a DR 123 from Florida, the state in which the sales tax was paid. I printed off a dr123 from FL, but its as if I was physically in FL, and has to be notarized as such. I never stepped foot in FL for the vehicle, so since they...

I read a few other threads about replacing my puked rear main. Can I drop the pan in the m1008, or do I have to raise the engine some to do this? Thanks

What have you PA guys ran into waith sales tax? my notary(which handles all my GSA/GL trucks) said that PA may go back after me for the sales tax, what have you ran into? Thanks

I am not new to buying military vehicles, however I am just now realizing what I have/had. I am currently with an 86 m1008, however my last truck was a MIL something. May be someone can help It was a 1975 w200 crew cab short bed, 318 2 brrl, 4 speed truck, d44 front, 60 rear, full time 203...

I want to raise the front end aprox 1.5 or 2" just basically to match the rear. Is there a low buck way to do so? Can blocks be used in the front?

Note #1 do not attempt this unless you have tons of patience and tons of time. I removed the instrument clusterfrom my 86 m1008, and installed one from a civi GM that has gauges for oil pressure, water temp, and alt. In place of the clock, I added a second alt gauge. They all work fine...

I want to convert my stock instrument cluster to a factory GM one with gauges. I have a few wires that will not match with the new cluster. Is there any diagrams that show what the wires go to? Water temp works, fuel works, Gen 1 works, gen 2 not connected yet(NEED WIRE COLOR VERIFICATION)...

Ive always wondered with the beefy d60 front, 14b rear, lockers, 1 ton springs, etc, etc why wasnt the np205 transfer case just installed as basic m1008 equipment, rather than the PTO units? Im not knocking the 208 case, but it would seem that this is a dead give away when such a strong np205...

I just purchased my 1st m1008, and am scheduled to pick it up in a few days!!!! I plan to keep it original, but I need to mount a frame type trailer hitch under her. My question is can a 7 way RV type plug be wired just as though this is a civilian k30, or is it different? Thanks
