    M1008 6" lift

    I am entertaining the idea of lifting my 86 CUCV I have reasonable pricing on the 6" Rough Country system, with a Dana 60 steering block, front springs, rear block, brake line relocates and shocks. I guess my question is does anyone have experience with this lift (Pt.#251.20) from Rough...

    Electrical question M715

    Electrical question M715

    So under the driver seat of my truck there is a switch. Am I correct in thinking this is an anti theft starter relay cut off or am I way off? I tried it it but if it is a starter cut off, mine doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks!!

    GLOW PLUGS - M1008/6.2 Detroit

    So I picked up a 1986 M1008 and figured I'd do a bit of maintenance on it before driving it too much and not knowing whats going on under the hood. I pulled the glow plugs out last night and all looked ok with no swelling except the 3rd in on the driver side and the 3rd in on the passenger...
