    M1008 oil light after 3 year hibernation?

    My oil light will stay lit for ~5 secs after start up. Try revving the motor a bit.

    Leaking NP 208 from Shifter.

    Leaking NP 208 from Shifter. Now with Pics! As the title says. I am wondering if there is a specific seal for where the shifter goes into the the T/C. The TM's just say " flat washer" and "locking nut". Do I need an O-ring or do I just gob on RTV all over it or does it need more torques? On...

    Fuel gauge questions.

    Between just past F and just under it is 3 Gallons. Half tank is about 10 gal. So, I'd say my fuel gauge is pretty spot on. Lower than half the fuel splashes around in the tank and the needle will wave between E and Half. On road trips I fuel up about every 150 miles. While Off road I figure...

    M1009 Brake Pad Question

    At least calipers are cheap to replace. And you can get lifetime warranty on them.

    (quick favor)For those with 37 OZ's and 4" Lifts on M1008/28/31

    23.5-24" for the front. ~30-31" for the rear. 4" rough country HD springs up front. Shackle flip and HD shackles in the rear. Also my front tires have little tread left, where as my rears are full tread.

    M1009 Brake Pad Question

    did you use the correct break fluid? In the mil they used DOT5. DOT 5 does not mix with water. DOT 3 & 4 do mix with water. Sounds likes your calipers are binding if your lines are in good condition.

    Th400?

    What vacuum pressures are you getting? Should be at least 20 psi before the regulator and 8 psi after (I put mine to ~10-12 for smoother shifting)

    Newbie wanting a M1008?

    All of the years use parts from the '84 models. They should be same, or least they started out the same... You never know what the PO has done to the truck.

    Turn Signal Issue

    I had a bad bulb that would give me intermittent turn signal issues until I replaced it.

    Turn Signal Issue

    replacing the turn signal lights, parking lights, and break lights may fix your issue.

    Out of which tail pipe is the smoke coming out?

    M1009 Value

    12v conversion hurts it, because as a buyer I don't know what you did. Unless its the GP resistor bypass and doghead relay mod. But with needing a new IP, who know what else it needs. With a running truck with good IP, and no rust, maybe 3-6K

    Honest opinion CUCV M1009

    very, very clean m1009. But I would say that it will not sell at $17k. Under $8K I think it would sell pretty fast. As mentioned before that you almost never make any money on restorations. Heck, I bought my m1008 for $4K and have spent more than $10k on it. I know that I'd never make my...

    Suggested LED trail lights for M1009 brush guard ?

    I would suggest looking at pirate4x4 I remember seeing some threads about lights on there. I recall that some of the cheap chinese stuff is pretty good.
