I HAVE PURCHASED A NUMBER OF M1008, M1009 AND (1) M1028. IT MUST BE SPORT
FOR SOMEONE IN THE MOTOR-POOL OR DRMO TO MOVE THESE TRUCKS WITH A
FORKLIFT.PROBABLY 1/3 HAD BENT DRIVESHAFTS, DENTED AND OFF-BALANCE SHAFTS,
AND/OR CRACKED TAILSHAFT HOUSINGS. I FOUND OEM TAILSHAFT HOUSING WAS
$$REASONABLE(AFTER TRYING TO REPAIR ORIGINAL).ALSO TRY TO REPLACE STEERING
STABILIZER...BUT GO TO MONROE OR OTHER TOP BRAND WITH A GOOD (FREE)
REPLACEMENT WARRANTY AS THEY DO NOT LAST MORE THAN 1 TO 11/2 YEARS OF
FREQUENT USE IN MY EXPERIENCE.

Subject: [MV] vibration problems with M1009 Blazer
Hi list hopefully someone can help with vibration problems. A couple of
weeks ago I started having vibration and noise coming from my M1009 Blazer.
I have put around 6000 miles on this unit and it has new tires. My mechanic
said it was bad u-joints and replaced them. I am still getting a small
vibration starting around 25 miles per hour and it gets worse up to around
65 if you are giving it gas. If you let up on the gas the vibration will
stop. I know that it is in the drive line some where. It feels like the
diesel engine is missing when you give it gas after 25 miles per hour. I
know that it is not the tires. You can run up to 70 miles per hour, shut off
the motor off and let it coast and she is smooth as silk. Any ideas ?
