    plumbing in some heat

    I'll be putting in a freeze plug heater, done it before, and an oil pan magnetic heater, also no big deal. What I am wondering about is also putting in a circulating heater. Other than putting a tap into the lower radiator hose, is their another point I can use for the lower hose?

    speedo noise?

    Anyone ever has a speedometer make a rattle noise? I've got a noise behind my cluster and can't track it down. I've pulled the gauges and secured wires and whatever else seemed like it might work.

    Looking 4 gears

    Any help in finding a set of more highway ratio gears for my M1008 would be greatly appreciated. Also, is the 14 bolt axle full or semi floating ie, does it have the "C" clip?

    tall and narrow tires

    So far I've come up with 315/75/16 & 235/85/16 & 255/85/16 as being the tall and thin choices. Which is the tallest and thinnest? Is there even taller and thinner that would fit? I also have access to 16.5 rims.

    brake warning light

    My warning light is on most all the time. What I've done is removed the power steering pump and thus drained the system and refilled. Replaced the rear brake lines at the same time. Lines are bled, and reservoir filled, but the light is on. Need to know what to do.

    Body lift and tires

    Wondering how much body lift can be put in a M1008 without "issues", and then how tall of a tire could be used to try to get to M1009 fuel mileage.

    Dead Horse Issue: Tires

    I did a search, but never found a good answer. I am likely getting an M1008 and am wondering what tire size will fit stock and give the best fuel mileage? I'm looking for a tall and narrow size for winter use, that will up the mileage.

    CUCV still dead, part deuce.

    Well, found a burnt out fuse link from under the junction on the firewall. Replaced it and the others there that were not the two really heavy red wires with breakers and a fuse box. I also removed the link to the junction box and plumbed in a pair of 50amp breakers in parallel. Everything...

    Really need help! Completely dead.

    My wife was driving my m1009 home and it died. Completely died. No electric, no engine, no nothing, right while she driving. She had both alternators charging. Now there is no lights, no cranking, no glow plugs etc. The radio still works. Only thing I can think of is the ignition switch...

    What vac at idle do you have?

    I know mine isn't what the TM (had my wife read it for me) says. Mine is 8 inches at idle, the TM says 10 at wide open throttle, to start at 20 at idle. Truck seems to shift ok, just a tad late into third.

    Aarrgghh!!

    Now it won't start. Cranks like crazy, but no fire. A little gray smoke out the back. I swapped fuel filters, plugged it in, but even after bleeding the new filter, nothing. Is it possible water froze in the injector lines? It has been down around 10 here last night. I do run Diesel 911...

    shifting issue

    My trans isn't up shifting right. Having read some here, I put a shift modulator and new vacuum line in. It's actually worse now. Now it didn't shift up at all. At least I have a new modulator, vacuum line, filter, fluid and a drain plug soldered into the pan now. What do I need to check...

    Hyd. winch / Air con. bracket.

    I see some of you run a hydraulic winch. I have one. Do you run a pump off of an aftermarket air conditioning bracket or what?

    doing that funky charging thing

    Well, wired, again, my alternator warning lights. 12v power to the left on, through the light, and 24v to the right one, through the other light. Both leads are fused. However, the number one alt still needs to be revved high to make it charge. I had both checked at a shop and both are fine...

    slipping out of 4wd

    On the way home today, took the wife out for lunch, my 4wd began slipping into free wheel. Somewhere between 4wd hi and 2wd. It did it 3 or 4 times before it finally would stay and got us home. Is there a shift linkage adjustment that may need to adjusted? I've also noticed of late my column...

    still learning "Gen Lights"

    My Gen 1 light has been on, and the voltage only coming up when the engine is revved. Had the alt. checked out at a shop that specializes in alternator and starter rebuilding, and all is fine. Turns out the Generator dummy light wires are ground wires, like the water temp dummy light wire, and...
