Driving home yesterday and out of nowhere, dash lights, head lights, brake lights and turning signals go out...get home, and three fuses blown: 30 amp main lights fuse , 10 am stop and tail lights fuse and 5 am B.O. markers. Replaced them all, and now when I press the brake I get no brake light...
For a couple of weeks now, my low coolant light comes on, then goes off, comes back on, goes off and repeat each time I drive my M1008. Initially, the light was just on and the coolant was indeed low and below the sensor on the radiator. (The radiator has a slow leak and requires adding of...
I feel like my alternator issues never end...currently I have an issue where alternator 1 is not correctly/fully charging battery number 1.... Alt 2 is charging battery 2 as battery 2 reads 14.6 while truck is running, however, interestingly, I cannot get a voltage reading at the excitor plug on...
I changed all eight glow plugs and the glow plug relay today to get m1008 starting correctly and now it does, however, afterwards while driving I noticed a slight but unquestionably noticeable whistling noise that is proportional to RPM’s (ie higher RPMs = louder whistling and vise versa; almost...
Hey guys, appreciate any help you guys can offer....issue: wait light on for a much longer time than usual occurred gradually but i can still hear the relay click but it takes like 30 seconds at least and motor will not start cold. (without starter fluid) I checked all glow plugs and about half...
Curious as to what this motor would be worth? It runs without issues, very reliable. It has about 45k mikes 1986...doing an LS swap...figured it may have some value to a cucv purist?
Thanks!
Here is my issue, any help much appreciated...truck would not start, front battery low and charging and now to 12.4, now when negative is put back on front battery, the starter is activated and this happens without the key (without the key put on “on” position), also a fuse-able link in a wire...
M1008: when motor is cold in morning first start of day (although it is hot summer), I am getting prolonged cranking and no start, after doing this a couple of times it barely starts and dies a couple of times and then it will start and stay running while expelling a big plume of white...
Would anyone be willing to post pics iof their lifted M1008's? It would help me in a decision on what to do....as much detail as possible be great...I am leaning towards 6 in susp lift, on a classic black wheel (procomp or black rocks) with -34 offset for some but not too much aggressiveness and...
I recently purchased an M1008, and after some good rain last night I noticed a puddle in the driver side floor pan...i had a few short minutes to investigate this am and the firewall inside insulation was wet, I did not bite wetness at base of windshield....if anyone has experience with...
I got new tires on my new "old" 85 m1008...and I noticed that the front left wheel has very slight (maybe 1/32 inch) of play or looseness....lugs nuts are tight, my thoughts are worn axle vs worn clutch pack in diff (which I assume there is one assuming that the Dana 60 is limited slip?) vs worn...
