    Glow Plug Questions

    I just did my first set, they [mine] were pretty easy to remove, they looked pretty new but still had two that had drooped and needed a visegrip and some gentle tugging to get those two out. Because of that and the connectors were ground to fit the stock wiring connectors which most of those...

    Rebuilding a 24v starter so it is 12v??? Possible or Not.

    Still open to more info. Had a chance to get under it today due to temp work stoppage on GP re-wiring. My next starter issue is the starter currently installed is what I believe is a direct drive unit; it has the large motor housing with internal retaining bolts. the truck had an additional...

    Rebuilding a 24v starter so it is 12v??? Possible or Not.

    New member waiting on delivery of M1008

    Hi all, been reading a lot of SS posts the last couple months while deciding if I was going to make the plunge and get a military vehicle. Ended up going a little conservative with a M1008, looked in pretty good shape but we'll see how good I did after it is delivered. My first MV and first...
