5.13:1 is all the lower you can gear it to. If you put a Dana 70 in the rear you can gear down to 7.17:1 Yes it'll accelerate alittle faster and towing will be easier, but the lower you gear down to, the less top end you have. At 5.13 you'll never see 55MPH again.

CUCV's may benefit more from synthetic because it aids in starting, they lack a torque converter clutch, and they spin higher RPMs.

I don't know all the ins and outs of synthetic oil. But my personal experience has been with the ISB's. Which are great examples being that they are the loudest OEM motor I believe. I've owned 2 and seen the same results: After acquiring the trucks I converted to synthetic oil amsoil...

Amsoil. Easy power adder. Or any synthetic. Converting the entire drivetrain over will make a little more power. It's not 50hp, but it's enough to notice. It's been proven on dynos before too, it's not snake oil.

Exactly. New trucks from GM and Dodge come with smaller axle shafts and ring gears in the front end. The rear lacks the pinion support bearing. Not even getting into the nice set of carriers the m1028s have.

General Grabber AT2 is the best AT tire out there IMO. Deep snow/offroad I would do KM2's on a m1008/m1010/m1028/etc M1009 I'd do Baja Claws.

55MPH is overrated. Yes. Frontal Area x Coefficient of Drag x (Speed)3 ____________________________________ 150,000 Equals the amount of power you need for a given road speed. More power = more fuel. I'm in the process of trying to aquire a CUCV, however I have owned mulitiple...

If you want to let it go for 5g PM me. I'm about a hour away.

Good deal. I'm hoping to make one of these threads soon!

Nice. Anymore pictures?

GL you got to jump through a few hoops. I've seen good deals on ebay. But often on GL you find trucks for under 1 grand.

People on Pirate have used wheel spacers on duallys with success. I just talked to a guy that did it on a Dana 80 with awesome results.

Did you convert this from DRW to SRW? Did you get the D61 from a 1st Gen Cummins? What is the low down on the TH-475 HD? Sorry for asking so many questions. This rig is bada$$

Cruising through GL over the last few months I have noticed that some of the CUCV's have winches on them? Anybody got any data on these? 24v I assume? Warn? Capacity? I've done my searching online and through the manuals and can't find anything.
