So far I’ve had good luck with Moog. But I’m sure any reputable brand is fine. I definitely agree with changing everything at once, I’ve done that on my m1008 as well as other vehicles and then typically you never have to worry again. I’d suggest going to rock auto at least to see what...

Thanks, that makes sense.

Today while I was under the truck I noticed a small oil seep from what looks to be holes drilled in the axle housing. It seems like these are from the factory as other axles have the same thing as well, and it feels like they’re plugged with some sort of sealant. Does anyone know what these are...

It’s been a little while since I’ve done much to the m1008 but I finished up my other project truck for now so time to get back on this one. For starters new springs are on the list. Today I swapped out the rears and added new hardware as well. These were already changed at one point years ago...

On this note do you know if they’re 5/8” or 1/2” sockets? Or are both present for different indicators? No big deal if you don’t know, I’ll be able to tell when I pull the cluster back out.

Try this. Shows the condition you have and how to troubleshoot.

Can’t answer the why question but mine was the same way so no worries there.

Can you have them pull the pump to confirm the teeth are bad? On eBay there are both used full vacuum pump systems (distributor drive and all) as well as just the pump head (brand new). It’s easy to pull out the drive from the motor and check.

It’ll be hard to find a new filler hose that fits the cucv neck as I’m not sure they make them. Hopefully you can reuse yours, or find a gently used one online (I think hillbilly wizard had some). Or switch to the civy neck and hose. And with the tank strap rivets, I just drilled them out and...

Is your idle set too low? I had to bump mine up a little to ~700 which greatly reduced the rattle as the bed was vibrating as well. I put in a fluid damper beforehand, it helped but wasn’t a miracle either.

Yep the 05K worked just fine for my drivers side so you’d be set there!

I can’t confirm exact LMC numbers since I ordered on Rock Auto, but those should be correct. It is indeed a 20 gallon tank, and I purchased a 3 port sending unit. I included shots of the exact parts I purchased spring last year (showing current prices) and had no issues with them. With regards...

Can’t say for sure if it’s normal, but that’s how mine works as well.

Looking great! Looks like they put main bearing studs in, is that a girdle too? Do you know where the builder obtained that?

Yeah none of the cylinders moved during my test, especially since I was 50psi.

Ah okay that makes more sense now.

Alright I finally got around to performing these tests. I’ll go through my process and y’all can let me know if I did something wrong since my results seem inconclusive. To start, i ran the motor to see if there were bubbles in the radiator. All seemed well there, no bubbles. Then I proceeded...

I’ve read through that thread before but forgot about that part specifically so thanks for the reminder! I am planning on the ARP head studs so using that sealer is an important point

Interesting, I’m guessing if there were head gasket issues this product would show in the oil?

Also a great point. I'll check that this week, it will help with the troubleshooting.
