Most of us with a M1008, esp... if it has been lifted will encounter the famouse death wobble. If you have added bigger tires to your lift , this will also make the wobble more noticeable. Some of the reasons this happens is due to the short steering shaft to gear box. 1: You need reinforce the...

When you described the conditions, esp.. with the heater fan, Low to High, I have the same problem but never added 1 plus 1 together. I had my alt repaired last year and I still have the same problem. I even changed alts from one side to the other side and still have the problem. Belts are...

Had a similar problem but it was a easy fix after about 2 months of trying to find the problem. Mine was the rubber vacuum line from the transmission modulator to the metal vacuum line to engine. The rubber vacuum line, about 4-6 inches in length had dry rotted and was sucking in air which made...

I know the glow plugs are bad just by the way it starts. White smoke in the exaust, hard starting and all fluids are full. I have read here that a wire to the glow plug relay is wrong in the TM. What color wire is it and what side should that wire be on on the glow plug relay?

When I bought the truck from my ex brother-in-law, he or someone else who owned the truck tried to convertit from the 24 volt system to a 12 volt system. The thing they never did was change out the glow plugs and the starter when they did the 24v to 12v conversion. The engine wiring looks like...

Its a gear reduction starter and replaced yesterday. Works like a charm. Now I need to get 8 new 12v Glow plugs and I think she will start running like a champ again. Just need to find some great 12v glow plugs and not the cheap (last 4-6 month) glow plugs. Any recommendation on great 12v glow...

Well, My new replacement starter should be arriving today so I hope this is the only problem. I have called Chevrolet and other parts stores for the starter support bracket (14028931) and Island Chevrolet told me that Chevrolet does not carry the brackets anymore. I saw a post here where someone...

Just wondering if it is normal for the starter relay to make a clicking sound for each time I turn the key? Did I not hear the click sound before because the engine was turning over before so that I would not have heard any clicking sound? I replaced it today with Napa part AC-40 and it still...

Today I tried to start my M1008 and it was cranking over but then nothing. I have read other posts here on the starter so I followed the ideas, changed out the starter relay with Napa part AC40, checked my batteries and they are fully charged, checked the connections and ect. I even tried to...

Having problems with my M1008. Tried to start it this morning and it was turning over and then suddenly nothing. Batteries are charged but when I turn the keys over, I get a clicking sound from the starter relay and also the glowplug relay. I tried to jump the starter relay by jumping the red...

I contacted the local towing companies and they want $300 for pick-up and tow 30 miles! I guess that is my last option now. Was hoping that a SS member or relative could help me but guess I need to get a tow truck now. I am a little mad because some members said they could help me but never got...

Someone from the Marine...

I do write back to those who have PM me and yes, I do need help on my pick up. If you can not help me then just let me know...

Just replaced my fuel gauge with the one I originally took out. Now looks like the gauge is now working. Filled the tank back up and did the gas/milage usage and now it seems like Im getting better fuel milage with the new sending unit. The old one, the sock looked like it sat in a chicken fryer...

The sending unit are indentical in everyway. Was carefull when replacing inside of tank. I have a spare fuel gauge since that was the first thing I replaced hoping that would fix the problem. Ill replace the gauge and see what happens after that. The truck runs alot better with the new sending...

OK, I replaced the sending wire and to no avail! When the tank is full it is showing 1/3 full and it droped to 1/4 full which means 5 gallons between the two readings which is right for 60 miles of driving. Is their a adjustment within the fuel gauge which needs to be adjusted or is their a...
