    Steering Box

    Wow, you got ripped off. A new steering box is about 170$ after the core charge refund.

    truck revs on its own

    Stop driving it immediately. Your injection pump is starting to run away from you. You need a new one.

    m1009 vibration

    Need more info than that. Has it always done it? If not, when did it start? Does it vibrate all the time, or at a certain speed?

    How strong are 10 bolts really?

    Um...No. The problems with 10 bolts are you can't put anything but an open differential in them. If you really pin one tire bad with a locker, the shafts are so flimsy they will snap before spinning the stuck tire. Gov-lock differentials are notorious for failure, since they suddenly lock one...

    Steering Box

    Sounds like you are good to go for a new box. Bring your old box so you don't have to pay the core charge up front :beer:

    Best M1008 Mods

    Do your 4 inch lift then add ORD zero rates in the front and back, easy way to gain another inch for a total of 5". Lifting a vehicle brings on all kinds of new issues to fix. Stay away from raised steering blocks and drop pitman arms, they are only a band-aid. If you can see splines showing on...

    Death wobble is NOT steering wander. Two completely different things.

    Steering Box

    The boxes are the same, the way the hoses fit are different. GM went to a different style of fitting somewhere in the 80's. Older boxes are 'inverted flare' type fittings, newer ones are o-ring style fittings. The first thing you should check are loose steering box bolts, then move from the box...

    Is it worth it? Air cleaner and exhaust mod.

    I got two 10' sections of 2 1/2" pipe, two 90 and 45 degree bends all for $190 from NAPA. This is the way to go if you can do it yourself.

    Ground wire getting Hot

    Yeah, what the guy above said. There should be a strap from the ground junction block to the engine. A temporary fix would be to attach the ground cable from the battery directly to the engine, alternator bracket bolt is a good spot.

    Why do people bash the CUCV?

    Depends on where you live. Around here people are more likely to think they are really cool. We also happen to be a state that maintains all of our rights to own firearms and carry them. Not a lot of fear of guns and Military to be found compared to oh...California etc.

    Deuce tires on the CUCV???

    You have no valid or informed point to argue. A vehicle like that sits on a trailer behind a tow rig because its purpose built for wheeling, not being comfortable on the street. Axle tube spring perches have to be modified for your choice of lift springs, so yes they do have something to do with...

    Deuce tires on the CUCV???

    Rockwells under a regular chassis are specifically for wheeling, not a street vehicle. Driveline vibes aren't very apparent crawling 5 mph through rough terrain. Its not that big of a deal. Square drive shafts aren't the best either, people run those too. And no, it doesn't have to be lifted sky...

    Stalling M1009

    You can't rebuild an IP unless you have the proper testing equipment, even if you did find a rebuild kit. They go through about 12 different benchmark tests on special machines to pass. You would have to send it to someone for testing anyways.
