Well, it wasn't the brakes. I took them off and ensured the clips were all in place. I replaced them anyway just for good measure. Then drove it around a little while and the problem started again. Soooo, I started to remove the hub and bearings to see if I could find any obvious problems. I...

I bought the top of the line heavy duty pads from napa. I think the anti-rattle clip is missing. I will pull it all apart tomorrow and re-assemble

I think Doghead may have been right. The TM I am printing was just going through the brake pages and I was looking at the diagram. I think I thought the retaining clip was the anti-rattle. It does not look familiar and there wasn't one on there when I took the old brakes off. Man, I am glad I...

oh, it doesnt stop with tapping the brakes, but it does seem to stop when I come to a complete stop, only to restart with the first bumps I encounter. I confess I do not know what the dust shield is. I will look in the manual.

Correct. I replaced the brakes and calipers due to there being a pull to the right and a shimmy with braking. I had searched an answer to that out on here and it was suggested that the calipers could be causing the shimmy. I did replace the clip but I put the old ones on instead of the new...

My M1008 has something wrong that I need help figuring out. I have searched the threads and cannot find anyone who has listed the same signs and symptoms so therefore I do not know what part is causing the problem. Before anyone jumps down my throat, Doghead et all, please note that I have...

How does one go about swapping glow plug system to a manual switch?

Also, Memphis equipment is a good resource there in Memphis. Mostly they work on the dueces, but I order parts from them.

I don't know the answer to your specific question, but I am trying to prep my M1008 for EMP also. What parts do you think should be stored? As far as I know, it is the alternator, and the glow plug solenoid. What about the ignition relay? Appreciate your ideas... Jason

Roger that. Thanks for the help.

Doghead, No, I have not been on here in a couple of months. Not that I don't appreciate the warm reception. I guess I should have searched the forums before I posted. Sorry to trouble you, sir. out.

I have an M1008. The previous owner got it from Gov. Liq. and he put in a standard tranny, rebuilt the front end, and dropped it from 24V to 12V. I took it in to a local auto shop to put new shocks on it as they feel "origianal" and thought it would be no problem. Well, it was a problem. They...

Just put on the new Goodyear wrangler duraTrac MT. What a GiFrigginNormous difference. Rides smooth now. Stops without the death rattle now. No more getting stuck in wet grass now. My last tires were terrible, apparently. Pretty dang happy about it. I tried to express my joy to my wife, to...

Do you have a lift on the pic in your avatar? Are those the hummer tires ?

I asked the guys at LineX about doing the entire body of my M1008. I would have to lose my camo and it would not really be bullet proof, but it is light weight, will absorb at least some of the projectile energy and is very resistant to IED or explosions. Lots of YouTube videos document...

That does look pretty good, Bean. I can't tell you fenders are cut at all from that angle. I hate to ask a remedial question, but can you put the tire dementions in the metric so I can compare them apples to apples? What I plan to have mounted on Monday are 265 75r 16. Now, I don't have too...

Thanks. there is a 3 week wait. I just don't want to pay for them and find there is a rub that the fender modification doesn't remedy. It's an expensive mistake to make. I will probably just get as big a tire as I can on the current wheel and buy the ones from TWF in the spring. My dreams of...

Wow. You guys are a huge help. I think i will just go 265 75r 16 in a mud/snow tire. I can save up some cash for the lift later. Thanks for all the help. Everything works okay now so cuttin fenders and adding lifts will probably just stir up trouble I can't afford. I will get into all of that...
