I looked at an M1008 today. It has a really solid body, but has some mechanical issues:
Starts easily, idles fine, but if you let your foot off the pedal quickly it dies (warmed up or cold).
Radiator does not build up pressure, and coolant drips from out of the bottom of the aluminum flywheel/torque converter cover. I see no coolant on the top of the block or trans. Any ideas what this could be?
A bit of thin white "fog" coming out of the oil filler neck when cap is off.....not like thick smoke. A little thin milky residue inside filler neck.
When coasting down steep hills, the engine speed surges up and down.
When pulling a steep hill it also surges a little.
The truck accelerates well and seems to have power, but does put out noticeable white smoke. It looks white, rather than oily blue or black. (More than my last M100
Would the smoke be possible from a bad injector pump, or is it rings?
I am thinking it needs an injector pump. I have replaced one before, and could do it if needed, but I don't want to have to rebuild the engine.
Any thoughts on the smoke, and coolant leak? I have searched the forum for previous posts on these symptoms, and haven't found much. Thanks for any info. H.
