Maybe that it has the J-code non emissions engine with more power than the C-code engine the half tons usually had?:?:

Ideally you want a jack and stands that could theoretically lift/hold up the whole truck by themselves. So 3 tons at least since the curb weight is about 6000lbs.

Yes, I missed that part, definitely get jack stands up to the job. At least a 3 ton jack and 3 ton stands. Check harbor freight as they have some tall stands for relatively cheap. My 3 ton jack and 3.5 stands were a deal through Sears and I loved them until I got Big Ugly. Suddenly a 1 ton...

The center hole for the display is about 2-3" wide...how does the CD go in?

Fram brings the suck. Their quality blows anymore. NAPA's Gold filters are actually WIX filters. Good stuff. Avoid any of FRAM's oil filters. I prefer NAPA's house brand stuff myself. Similar prices and good quality. Transmission - time to add a drain plug while you're dropping the pan...

Do a search, we've discussed this many times in the past. As joey said if you're good with the trimmer you can make it look factory. Mine's in the same place. If you're more creative there's all kinds of places to put it - middle of the dash being one. There are no modern CD playing stereos...

Thanks.

I like it. Contemplating it with Big Ugly (flat black) and if I get a M1009 that's still camo the wife has insisted it get painted. Maybe I missed it but how many coats was this?

The stuff at the stores (Duplicolor, Herculiner, etc) IS NOT the same as Rhino Liner and LineX type stuff. I've had both and currently have Herc on my Tracker. The cheaper stuff you roll on is more like a paint with particles of something in it. The spray on stuff is a thick coating of some...

Don't forget bailing twine!

I'll be in town Friday to Monday for sure. We've got some other activities going on so Saturday is our machine gun day.

Did someone say Knob Creek? I'll hopefully be in the Lexington area to see my buddy from the Marines. We want to hit Knob Creek for sure. No MV though. Bit of a drive to have to make both ways. With any luck my house sells and I'll be living in the area soon(ish).

Go visit a mom and pop hardware store. Mine lets me take stuff out and test fit it. They see me often enough and whenever I do this I park right in front of their doors so they can see me.

1/4" threaded rod on the "outer" edges with small washers and nuts. The sides that bolt to the brace and the fender are just small screw/bolt thingies. No clue on the thread or pitch.

I've got the front bracket not doing anything.

This is gold! Steering stabilizers do nothing but absorb some of the road vibrations. All putting a new one on would do is muffle a problem that already exists. Sorta like putting a bandaid over a bleeding wound. Won't actually stop the injury but might make the bleeding stop until it gets...

Sigh...here we go again. M1008's, 1028's, 1009's, etc all have standard GM parts under them. They have no capabilities that a similar civilian K30 of the era wouldn't have had. The military's ratings are actual ratings of their capabilities while the civilian "1 ton" (notice the quotation...

M1008's are K30 "1 tons".

Lots of people would disagree with you there. I run my hubs locked all winter. Kinda sucks having to get out and lock them in during the morning commute. People have done it this way since the locking hub came out. Just puts more drag and wear and tear on the system but nothing horrible or...

That's actually about what mine's off by.
