Yeah, floor space is a premium, always need a bigger building. But do what I can, have made it work. And normally I would often have half a vehicle inside, but its been snowing, sleet, and now we've got about 2 inches of rain in the past 36 hours and they're still giving more. In anycase, I was...

Thanks, thats what I needed to know [thumbzup]

Question: is there a way to determine if the brake fluid that is in the truck is DOT 3/4 and DOT 5 mixed? And if it is mixed, what all would have to be replaced 🙁

Yeah, thats basically the conclusion I came to also. I cleaned the spindle a bit more and inspected it closely. Other than the groove on the "back wall" of where the inner bearing race rubbed, you could see markings on the spindle shaft itself but I couldn't really feel anything. So I think it...

I ended up ordering everything from Classic Industries, mostly because they had the bulb holders and a couple other small items that I couldn't find on LMC. And yeah, I have filled a tank a bit to fast before and had the pump kick off. I always just waited for the foam to go down, and start...

just added somethings I forgot to my last post above 👆

Hey all, been going to post an update since feb 1st when I got this job done. Seems like never enough hours in the day. Also the day I finished this it was still early in the day, so I went ahead and pulled the rear tire and hub to find out what the "little leak" was around the drum/backplate...

I'm going to check out of the spindle and bearings today. Tried to look up the specs for the spindle in the TM's and see what the min tolerance is, but didn't find it. I'll look some more today. They show it as an "axle housing" starting on page 243 in the TM9-2320-289-34p DEPOT MAINTENANCE...

i don't know why I didn't think to take a gas can get some kerosene. :roll: I think there is one gas station in town that does have it. Who ever reads this post later that needs help can thank you 😂 and yeah, it could be from the other parts. with everything covered in a think layer of gunk, it...

well thats just great... I knew this... but ever since my TBI my focus/memory has been shot (which is also why I also take so many photos when I'm working on something) And I think I may have topped off the master once with DOT 3, but I'm not sure. Which is one of the reasons I was going to...

Ok all, caught up on the replies. Sorry I hadn't replied sooner, been having a lot of problems with my starlink internet. Then my desktop computer went down and won't even boot. AND my laptop got some malware that copied itself into my google chrome sync, so even when I gave up and wiped the...

it is oil, no doubt. And it was baked on too... literally scraping it off. I'm sure the brake dust that was previously in there, plus plenty of dirt made it like thick tar.

Yep, I'm replacing basically all of it for both sides. Do it once, cry once, and hopefully won't ever have to take all of this apart again. And yes, I have a gallon of DOT 5 Silicone brake fluid. I'll probably go ahead and flush the system when i get this done. But I'm going to check out the...

Ok.... I've heard of spun bearings, but never ran into the problem before. I couldn't feel anything on the spindle except where I have the red arrow pointing at the "wall" where it bumps up to the larger diameter part of the spindle. On the flat part of the shaft, even though there was some...

I think it was on life support lol I see the part you are refering to. I did clean up most of it today, and found that spring you are refering to. As well as several other parts and springs. I'll post about that in a bit in an update. I wish there was a machine shop around here, I could have...

Yeah using the other side to 'copy' would be ideal... but I actually do not have enough room in the shop to remove the other side as it is right up against a huge shelf unit. I barely was able to sqeeze the truck in there, and make room to work on fuel tank, and as such could get to the drivers...

Yeah, I finally found that diagram. Thats where I got some of the part numbers from. Got some of the other part numbers from that same TM on page 297. I'll have to check the vent you mentioned [thumbzup] I think the one peice that is laying on the floor in the 4th photo I posted, the part...

Hey everyone, working on my 1986 M1008. I just finished putting in a new fuel tank, sending unit, instrument panel flexiable circuit board, and other to finally get my fuel gauge working, as I had in another thread which I will be updating maybe later tonight. In any case, when I was under the...

Thanks EZGN [thumbzup] I was just going to look up to see if I could find some diagrams/photos of the circuit panel and wiring.

Ok, I'm trying to figure out what I will need Thanks for the video ADF [thumbzup] [thumbzup] From what he is saying, or at least from what I understand, my gauge may not be getting any connection to the "signal" wire from the sending unit. As it shows way past full, around the 3 o'clock...
