    M923 Thermostat diagnostic

    I was driving my M923 around the yard cutting and loading some branches in the back and noticed there was a little steam coming out from under the hood. I immediately checked the temp guage which seems to be working fine and it was only at 160 degrees. I shut it down and popped the hood to find...

    My first GL win

    Where to get bilstein shocks?

    I have searched about the best shocks to use and it seems in agreement with everyone that bilstein is the best. So I have began searching and found that from the M1008 the correct part numbers are ak2043 and ak2042. I went directly to Bilsteins website and they still show them are active part...

    Injector pump shot?

    I have an 86 M1108. Recently developed a leak in the fuel line back where it crosses over under the cab. I have now fixed that but cannot get it started. I correctly primed the filter until I had a steady stream with no air. Hooked the red wire back up on the injector pump yet it still would...

    Zero Rate Blocks

    I received them from ORD and plan on installing them soon in the front and back. Have any of you installed them with no other lift with the sole purpose of moving the front axle forward an inch? Will the drive shaft still be long enough in the front after moving it forward an inch and raising...

    Transmission leak

    I have only had my M1008 for a few months. When I first got it it had a crack in the transmission line right at the brace were the lines cross over on the bottom. I ended up putting in a double sided compression fitting and it has worked great. Since that time I have put about 2000 miles on...

    Rear Bearings

    M1008 Hitch Install

    I have seen many people post about hitches on here so I figured I would post what I did. First I searched all the hitches out there to find one strong enough to tow anything I wanted, something that would go along with the great strength of the truck. Unfortunately they do not make a...

    Gen 2 problems

    I have had my M1008 for a few months now and I absolutely love it. Since I have had the truck the Gen 2 light has never come on at all. After reading many posts on here I have learned that it must so I have searched it and did all of my reading up on what it could be. Unfortunately I am still...
