    1028 rear shocks

    I think that is called "coil over" and was a common way to increase load capacity or fide height. I've seen them available but $$$, you have the springs just replace the shocks.

    Hydroboost help

    What ever you do, do NOT get a used one that"worked fine when I took it off"! Go the few bucks more and get a new one, my son cheaped out and got burned and then I gave him one I had kicking around and it leaked too. ( at least I didn't charge him :) )

    M1009 lacks power

    I've never understood the "need" to add aditives for lubricity, I've run over 2 million miles and never had an IP problem. Gelling? yes a couple time and I normally add anti gel when the truck is going to be parked for a couple days in the winter or when it drops below 0*. A few months ago I...

    Bonehead mistake

    For bolts broken by overtightening I've had good luck with useing a sharp center punch and a hammer, place punch near threads and tap at an angle in a counter clock wise direction. I've also had good luck useing a LEFT hand drill bit, it will usaully grab the bolt and unscrew it.

    M1009 lacks power

    My 1008 runs like a raped ape too. I know if I was raped I might want to run fast but doubt I could! I'd probably run like and old heavy under powered M1008!

    M1009 lacks power

    Umm, fuel pump not maintaining pressure? Fuel filter plugged, fuel line crushed? Any or all would cause it to run fine for a bit then on long pulls lose power.

    M1009 lacks power

    I too am ASC certified and ICAR trained, I spent over 20 years in collision shops and I have never seen a oil cooler leak into the rad UNLESS it was damaged in an accident. So we can put that to rest, now if you want to separate them for cooling purposes then that's a different story! You lose...

    Trying to chase the cause of offset steering wheel.

    Bearings will have no effect, the drag link may be the problem, have you checked the ride height? If the left spring sags that's going to change the ride height and just like if you put a lift kit in changes the angle of the drag link and that will move the wheel off center.

    it looks like the driver side axle mount is pushed back

    A c-clamp or c type welding vise grips will work, it's really not under much pressure at all. The pin is actaully a bolt and you can easly replace that with a center bolt bought at a spring shop or what I'd do is use an Allen head bolt and Nylock nut and cut to length. Also, I believe the U...

    it looks like the driver side axle mount is pushed back

    You can say that again! Put new ones on mine and even with the plow raised in still sits higher than before WITHOUT the plow. Rides better too.

    Possible rear main leak fakeout.

    I've had rear main seals leak twice on 6.2s and both seemed to leak when the engine was warm and run at highway speeds. No easy fix if it is the rear main, hope that little bit of info helps find the problem.

    Best method to remove the Steering Knuckle Arm from the Knuckle?

    Hmm, I know I'm old and don't remember some things buuuut I don't remember EVER having to remove the arm to change a ball joint! Just like I never removed the whole knuckle at the ball joints to remove the axle yet some people do.
