    Hard brakes and steering.

    Just finished a 5" lift on my 1008. Had to drain all the fluid from my steering box to swap out the sector shaft with a 2WD one for crossover. Left it on jack stands and set the play properly and steering was nice and free until I started it. Figured I would need to add fluid to the master after...

    Won't start after gel up.

    It has been a miserable cold couple of months in the north east and my m10008 has been down while installing a lift in between freezing temps. I start it once a week and it always fires up and runs great even when below zero. I went to start it last week at 0 degrees and it fired right up, ran...

    M1008 zero rates/Ubolt reversal.

    I'm in the process of installing zero rates and ubolt reversal on my M1008. My question is do you remove the two inner spring clamps that hold the bottom 3 leafs and the thin plates on the top and bottom? The new top plate won't quite fit in between them but I would think you wouldn't just want...

    HMMWV wheel backspacing?

    I have a M1008 with 5" lift using 4" HD rough country + Zero rates up front and ORD shackle flip + zero rates in the back. I want to order 12 bolt HMMWV wheels from trailworthy fab but unsure about what backspacing to recenter to. Also wondering which center is better: curved press in or flat...

    Cucv charging oddity

    I understand what both alternators do and that the second one needs a little blip of throttle to excite but mine has a strange startup ritual. Both alt lights work when key is turned, one stays on after started and until throttle blip. The part I don't understand is even after the second light...

    Nv4500 bellhousing?

    I have been trying to round up parts for a nv4500 swap for my M1008. It is seeming like a dead end street for me as I can't even find a pedal assembly in a scrapyard (thanks Obama for cash for clunkers). I am a little lost on which bellhousing will work. Some say any small block Chevy and others...

    Nv4500 swap

    Hi all, I plan on doing the nv4500 swap/turbo install on my m10008. I have scoured this site and many others for info and have a pretty good handle on what is needed. The only thing I am unsure of is which years pedal assembly will work. I have found a 93 3500 with the 6.5 and 5 speed for $1500...

    Vacuume modulator?

    So while driving my panty melter to work yesterday if I let off the throttle to coast when I got back on it it had no response for like 3 seconds then bang it would kick back on. It happened every time I let off. If I rolled to a stop it would idle fine and take off like normal. After work I...

    Glow plug resistors

    While trying to diagnose a hard start problem I decided to bypass the glow plug resistors. Before doing so I took a voltage reading on it. I found that it only had 12V feeding it from the first battery in series. I believe it should be fed with 24v (correct me if I'm wrong). The wierd thing is...

    Cold start.

    I am having issues with cold starts. It takes a rediculous amount of cranking to start if it sits for more than a half hour but fires right up and runs awesome if started sooner. The original fuel filter has been removed by previous owner and has a small inline filter. The line from the filter...

    wiper troubleshooting

    Hi all, I am a proud new owner of an 86' M10008 and the wipers and washer are not working at all. I found that I had no conductivity between the wiper motor case and the vehicle ground. I took the grounding strap off and cleaned it and reinstalled. I now have conductivity from the wiper motor...
