Hello all, I am in the process of tracking down a contractor style bed cap for my M1008. I hope to set it up for camping. I found one locally for sale online. The owner says they took it off of a GMC 1500. He sent me measurements of 99.5" long by 61.5" wide. He says that the full door...

Hello! I have a strange issue with my truck that I developed probably within the past month or so. Whenever I take my truck through a left turn, it seems to try and fight me a little bit to go straight again. I don't quite notice it with right turns. I got underneath it last weekend and saw...

Hello! A few months ago, I bought a socket off the shelves of a local auto-parts store and JUST NOT got around to testing to see if it worked. Well, it doesn't fit. It has the same shape and everything and the notches seem to line up with the holes, but it won't slide on and remove the nut...

Hey all. For a couple years or so, I've somewhat coveted the idea of having a Pinzgauer. I currently own a M1008 and enjoy it greatly. I always peeped at auctions online for the random postings of a Pinz here and there, but most of those seem to be less than complete-and sourcing through an...

Hello all, My m1008 has been overcharging intermittently lately. Every time I drive it, I notice my blower motor blow harder, sometimes my lights and gauges brighten when driving at night. Up until recently, my amp gauge wasn't working. I soldered 3 1W 100 ohm resistors in series and now it...

Hello SS! I have an issue with my M1008. I unscrewed the plastic draincock just a little bit some time back to bleed the filter a bit due to a WIF light. I noticed that when I went to screw it in, it would just keep spinning. It wouldn't tighten much. I managed to get it to turn in...

Hello, I know it seems kind of dumb, but I am curious to know whether or not any of you have camped in the back of your M1008s. I have a 20ft tarp that I was planning on making a pup tent over the bed of my truck with. It wouldn't have a steep slope, it would be looped out, back up, and down...

Hello Steel Soldiers, I have a peculiar problem that I am trying to sort out for my father who has a 1008. First off, since we've owned the truck, while cranking, it would sound like its binding on the flywheel, but not all the time. Sometimes it would spin perfectly fine and healthy, other...

Hello everyone! I was playing around with the 1008 and hooked up the heater core that had been DCed. Well, as I figured it would, when it got warm, she pissed coolant a little bit, so I shut her down a week and disconnected it again the next weekend. Well, I know I lost some coolant so I was...

Hello all, My name is Kevin and I am the new owner off a 1985 m1008.. It currently doesn't have a glow plug controller so I am in dire need of direction on how to bypass it. I appreciate your help and look forward to being a contributing member on these forums. Thanks!
