    I messed up...Possible to retap the knuckle on my front axle?

    Well if you beat it out the threads are probably trashed. Atleast 10 bolts are a dime a dozen and you can upgrade to a better gear ratio. Or you could upgrade to 1 ton axles.

    M1008 starting issues

    Fully charge your batteries and then have them load tested. Sometimes they will read full but they are an open circuit and are very weak. You can get them load tested usually for free at any auto parts store. Is their any lights coming on your dash?

    The 6.2 detroit diesel is not a bad engine. The military version is a j code so it is slightly different. The only real problem with these motors is their lack of power. With these 6.2s majority of the issues we have are with the glow plugs and the injection pump. As long as your not looking...

    M1008 possible purchase

    When you buy one look at the wiring. If you see alot of new connectors and newer wires or alot of miscellaneous splices into the harness. Avoid that truck at all costs. If it has been convereted to 12 volt i would avoid it because most of the resources on ss would be useless for you. And...

    Suburban front doors on a M1009?

    Any of the doors from that vintage of the c/k series will fit. Swapping the components isnt to hard. The hardest thing will be hooking up the power to the new power windows and adding a switch but that shouldnt be to difficult. Make shure you add an inline fuse. Goodluck.
