Eh, speedos are rarely super accurate. It was also a GM of the 70's and 80's...guaranteed to be somewhat kinda sorta maybe close...ish.

I was seeing around 15 with the "36's" that measured 34"ish.

Okay, you're loosing me...just afraid to go that fast on tires 35" tall or afraid of the rpm? As I said, the rpm wouldn't be any worse than driving the stock truck on stock tires at 60mph or so.

You can also watch the needle drop, mine sucked fuel at those speeds.

How so? 35's would lower the rpms you were spinning at and these engines will spin along at their governor all day long really. They're not like a big heavy Cummins or CAT diesel that only goes to 1800rpm. My 36's were actually about 34" and change tall but I drove that truck 3 hours doing...

33's can be fit on a M1008 with no lift, especially if you go with a narrower tire like a 285/75R16 or a 255/85R16 (33x11.25ishR16 and 33x10ishR16). A wider tire like a 305/70R16 (33x12ishR16) may give you slight rubbing problems. A 35" tire is a 315/75R16 but will require a lift or...

No, bet he has a M1008. He has 35" tires on it. That'd be about right for screaming at 75mph.

I ran the TrXus MT's on a Ranger I had and they were doing great at 15k, easily 2/3 tread life left. Any tire that big is going to be an offroad tire, you'll just have to get used to it. I was going to run the 36x12.5R16 TSL Radials on Big Ugly before I found the XL's. They're famous for...

When I had the 34-34.5" 36" HMMWV bias plies Big Ugly could do about 70 but it was screaming. Even 60-65 was rather high rpms and loud. Then I put my 38" 11.00R16's on and now it's a much happier vehicle at 65mph or so. I don't like 70mph without OD but I would happily cruise at 60mph all day...

It'll be loud.

The LMC lights aren't great but they are better than stock. I'd go with a PIAA or Hella light if you were really after max brightness. The LMC light harness is worth the $30 though. I have their harness and it is pretty good. I got one for each of my trucks but was only able to put it on The...

Any parts store. I know for sure NAPA has them.

I went to Knob Creek last year. Good times. Now that I moved down here I can't go this Spring. Bah. Maybe in the fall.

Bolt pattern is the same, bellhousing is different as far as the mounting parts go. The hydraulic clutch is prefered to the mechanical clutch also because if you twist the truck up offroad the mechanical linkage will bind and can go out of adjustment, even break. Hydraulic doesn't do this.

Nothing like reversing and turning in a parking lot out of a space and it going BANG and then some "gearhead" going, "YOUR REAR END IS MAKING NOISE!" "It does that, thanks.":-D

Kalamazoo Air Zoo for some military aviation fun.

The TH400 was the only auto trans on the 3/4 ton and higher trucks of this body style from 1973 to 1990. In 1991 the 4L80E with the stand alone controller replaced it.

Croatan pretty much covered it. You could make the 11.00R16's fit easily enough. Just cut to fit and maybe 1" of front lift. That said...don't even think about it. You'll end up with a tired engine, broken axles, and a dead transmission. You're making too many comprimises with that setup...

A-You're asking in the CUCV forum, you should probably ask in the deuce and a half forum. B-Put simply CUCV's are only 24v at the ignition system, the rest of the truck is 12v.

III. Would need more mounting points over a wider area to be a IV or V.
