Trying to figure out the (naughty word deleted) calipers on the M1008. Metal on metal dovetails. Push the piston back far enough, you can remove the front pad. push it back the other way, the rear pad falls out on the ground...plop. Then the new pads are just too big to allow both to be...

The Radiator rubber isolators for the big 6.2 radiator. The plastic top cover that is always broken on the radiator. Thanks!

N. AZ help appreciated. So I'm on vacation at my "summer house", a small place in Northern AZ. I've been hearing weird clicks, more like TAK TAK when I'm off-roading on the bumpy rocky roads up here. When I go out on the pavement, or smoother roads, the TAK TAK stops. The sound is coming from...

Have had stalling issues for the past year. Had warm starting issues too but those seem to be rectified. New Optimas, new fuel filter (box type), new fuel pump (what a PITA, going electric next time) but still have the surging/starvation issues. Truck just died 15 mi from nearest pavement in...

Starts hard. Especially when "kinda warm". Feels like it's running out of fuel sometimes, sometimes during the power arc, sometimes when settling to idle, sometimes whenever. No rhyme nor reason: Ideas from others include... Lift pump going bad. IP governor solenoid? (never heard of it...

This happened yesterday at Home Depot in Show Low, AZ. Had to walk 5mi to the nearest Vato Zone to find out that they didn't have the cable and couldn't get one til Monday... Problem is, I just HAD to unhook the little round clip off of the throttle shaft to make sure that the throttle cable...

Trying to decide whether to find a new one or rebuild "Gen 1" which loads the belt after starting causing horrible belt squealing and even though the truck has 100K on it, both alt pulleys have grooves worn in them from belt slippage. What y'all think? D.

Alright. We were out on Camp Navajo this past week, participating in the "disabled veteran elk hunt" out in the rough roads of the 221,000 acre installation. Out on the rough rocky roads, I had several instances where the truck went "full rich" which stalled the truck, causing hard restarts...

Like many here, I bemoaned the low top speed and poor highway performance of my M1008. Swapped the rear axle out for a different one, in 4.10 and now I can go 78mph. Pretty sweet. Now it's time to pick a set of gears for the front in 4.10. Does anyone know the part numbers to the gear sets...

Need to replace this on my M1008 and was wondering what the real (or commercial) part number is on it, and where I can get one. I don't even mind mail order, as long as I don't have to make 20 trips to "Vato Zone" because they look at you like you're speaking Swahili when you tell them it's a...

I love the "take a look at those threads" feature. Sweet. OK, I have an 84 M1008, and the costs of low sulphur (non lubricating) D#2 is obscene and there are literally hundreds of sites related to converting 12V vehicles to WVO, or Waste Vegetable Oil, after proper filtering. Most involve...
