I don't know what the deal was but the female compression end of the Goodman line was not the right tread. So either I had some non-typical fittings on my truck or the parts were wrong/with the right part numbers. I could bend the stock lines in half and thread them to themselves but the Goodman...

I can not get them threaded to the block on my m1008. They won't even thread to themselves... Is that right? I've seen folks with good success on here but I can't even get them started! I'm using the same part numbers as listed here in other threads.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Ask 5k for it, get about 4 for it. Storage for my rig at 50 per month x 4 years = too much! You made me think about it though... Thanks for the replies.

Subject says it all. 1986 M1008, added electric fuel pump, spin on filter, doghead mod, added 2" receiver, lifted 5" using ORD shackle flip and tuff country ez ride springs, obviously H1's with 37" GY's…. has a new th400 in it. 52k Miles. Interior is decent, the seat has been recovered, the dash...

Thanks for the reply!

I went out to diagnose a hard start from this morning. I planned on testing the glow plug relay but the engine was too warm for to keep cycle the relay… I think… So I decided to look for fuel leeks and noticed the side of the IP was wet. Looks like there may be a small leak around the throttle...

So this is the result two years later. I'm definitely not easy on the paint and it has held up extremely well. Pictured is a scratch from driving through some really thick logging road over growth... from the density of the vegetation i feel it is completely acceptable. My canopy rubbed some...

Finished a ORD lift, painted it and put on this killer $45 craigslist canopy!

I went through with painting the truck with Behr. I am definitely happy with the initial results. I used the marquee line of paint.

Wow thanks. I think the front hubs will get in the way.

At around 55 it has a harmonic drone that you can feel, but not shaking me out of the cab. I don't think it has been hit, the frame looks straight enough but my eyes might not know what to look for. Im going to put a tape on it see what the story is. If I can't figure it out ill take a trip to...

Roger! Thanks. When I round up a new adapter I'll drop the drive shaft off to be balanced or deemed garbage.

I have about 500 miles on this one. From what I've read it could be a few things. A bent read drive shaft? Mine has a pretty good dent in it. No braces on the transfer case. Worn out front shaft U joints. I have had it in 4wd twice in my yard pulling out stumps, that were no big deal. The...

I'm guessing a bent rear drive shaft could break 2 transfer case adapters right? My drive shaft has a good dent in it.

Thanks for the input. What part of Wa do you live? I live in Tacoma. How long before you exposed your vehicles to the elements after you painted them?

How does your paint hold up to brush/tree limbs like when driving off road, rock chips, are your trucks used for trucks?The other threads hardly touch on durability. People say their trucks still look good after a while, it doesn't tell you what kind of environment they lived in. And another...

I'm going to be doing a short term durability test on Behr. The canopy pictured was painted and left to dry in my garage for three weeks. The average temp was probably around 60. The truck has original carc from 97. The tailgate was painted with, from what I can tell, rattle can Camo paint. My...

Dang it! You're right, I hate when the thread goes dead and there is no resolution. Yes I solved the problem. Did the the spin on filter, and wired in a new pump. Mostly just followed what other folks did on here. Wired a switch under the hood that is powered with the key on so thAt if the mech...

No real smoke to speak of. And no I'm not cranking for more than 10 seconds at a time, I don't have the heart to do that to the starter.

It will act like it is going to start, say maybe light for one or two compression strokes then die. Then crank and crank and crank till she slowly gets going then idles perfect. with that info does it still sound like plugs? I guess i'll end up swapping everything out anyway. where does the...
