    700r4 swap into a M1008

    I have read some say this swap leaves you with high gears and lacks towing power and sluggish off the line. Is this true? If so I imagine the turbo will make up the difference. I am looking at the gear vendor. perhaps that is better for towing giving you 6 gears in high and low range. It...

    Made it home with my new 1009

    Made it home with my new 1009

    I pulled the power from the first battery. The first batt is 12v all you really need is to run the power and get the neg from the ashtray. The fuse box has a few blanks that are 12v too. You can just push a blade ( Male ) connector in the fuse blank to pull the power. And I did get the...
