Did some searching and the leaf springs are from Superlift. The specifics of these I couldn't tell you. I would assume it's a 3-4" lift. I also took the 1009 for a drive today. The tires are really "lumpy" feeling. There's a little leak, I think from the front of the T-case (the P.O. rebuilt...

Thank you all. The Humvee tires do look really cool on there. 8) These are the older Goodyear 36" bias ply Humvee tires. I'd imagine radials would ride a lot nicer on there. I'm not sure about the lift. The military put the tires on it. I'd imagine there is a lift of some kind. The springs look...

It rides like cold sacks of potatoes ;-) Nah it's not that terrible for a short wheelbase 3/4 tone truck. And the tires are cold and have sat for a while, so I'm sure they've squared out a little bit.

Got all the plugs out finally!!! I bought the OTC glow plug remover tool two weeks ago. What a huge P.O.S. aua **** thing broke at the hinge on the first plug... following directions and everything... I was still able to use it to get 3 of the 7 plugs out, but it took around 45 minutes to get...

Thank you islandguy. You have a great looking 1008 yourself. I am impatient and wish that glow plug remover were here right now, so I could work on the beast. However, I'll be pretty busy the next 4 days so that will make the time go by quickly, and in my spare time I plan on doing the Doghead...

^^ Yeah, that was the JJ&R tool that they are sold out of The tips aren't magnetic. How big is the passage from the pre-comb. chamber to the cylinder? Big enough for the tip to go through? The other 7 GP's are shot (bad on the Ohm test). I definitely plan on bypassing the resistor though...

So I found the OTC glow plug remover on fleabay for less than half the price of most on amazon. That should be here by next week Wed.-Fri. However, in case the tip does break off while using the GP remover, I heard having the piston at TDC will not let the piece(s) fall down into the cylinder...

I sold my M1008 a few years ago due to its impracticality as a daily driver/highway cruiser...but I have come down with the OD Disease again...I found a great deal on a 1985 Blazer M1009. It's got 26k mi. on it. It was owned by a guy who used to buy and fix up a lot of CUCV's and other OD...
