My steering has gotten very sluggish (hard to turn the wheel). Is this the correct pump for a 1992 M998? Also would consider alternate sources if anyone has one. THANKS!

Here's a strange one. I got home last night and when I hit the brakes my right front signal lights up (like a brake light) but my rear right doesn't. Driver's side is functioning properly. Any ideas?!?!
Please help! I have LED lights on my m998. When I went to drive it last night the low beams had stopped working on my LED headlights. Only the high beams work. Both low and high worked fine the last time I drove it. Any ideas on what the issue could be?
I was driving my m1008 back from lunch last week and the passenger side alt belt went south. Prior to breaking, I smelled burning rubber so I thought the alt locked up. Took the truck home and checked the alternator - the pulley spun like a champ.
Put a new alt belt on Monday night. Drove the...
What store carries Goodyear Gatorback belts? Napa, Autozone, etc? I need the passenger side alternator - mine went south today going to lunch.

Well, after getting the local paint shop to shoot my truck 2x and hating it both times, I decided to do it myself. Having never painted a vehicle before, only houses, I was a little aprehensive. I came to this forum and found out what paint to buy and how to reduce it. I used Gilespie 383 CARC...

Hey, there.
I am going to attempt to paint my truck myself and have never thinned paint before. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to thin and what to thin with? Can I buy the thinner at the local Lowe's? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I want to flip the top on my air cleaner upside down but can't cause the studs are not long enough. Does anyone know the thread size? I went into Lowe's at lunch with the wing nut and tried it with a 1/4 20 but that didn't work. Are they metric?
It's a rainy day here in Southwest Georgia. The first in quite some time. I decided to take the CUC out after lunch and go down a stretch of dirt road. We still have a lot of dirt roads here. What a blast!! She was slingin' red clay everywhere. I thought I was going to have to put 'er in 4WD...
Anyone here use DieselKleen? I heard the stuff is really good. I THINK that the fuel tank size on my M1008 is 15 gallons - correct? If so, how much of this stuff do you mix per tank? The bottle I bought treats 100 gallons.
I have a haze (not smoking) that comes from my oil filler cap when the truck is running. The dipstick stays on full so I don't think it's burning any oil, but I'm no expert. I do get a nasty burnt oil smell coming from the exhaust when I go from point A to B. Others have said this is probably...
My buddy's M1008 exhaust smells like most diesels would smell - that sweet diesel fuel smell. I am a little concerned about mine though. It has a diesel fuel/burnt oil smell. I am starting to wonder if I am burning oil. It smells like this if the engine is hot or cold. However, I don't have blue...
My exhaust is pretty shot and I was thinking about having a new system run from the headers back. Any preferences? Anyone ever run FLOMASTERS on a CUCV? I thought maybe running 3" inlet/outlet flo's - would this work?
I need 2 tow shackles for my rear bumper. I have tried eBay and keep getting outbid. I don't care about getting originals - I just want to replace the ones that are missing. Where can I pick 2 of these up? What's the size I should buy (shackle size at the top and pin size)?
I was looking at...
Hello everyone!
Great site here. Looks like lots of good information. Just picked up an '86 M1008 last week and am enjoying the crud out of it. What a FUN truck. I just can't believe how many people come up to me and want to talk about it.
Here are my questions - any help apprecieated.
