    Floor Shifter / Reverse Lights

    You will need to install a microswitch onto the shifter to control the reverse lights. I have never used that exact b&m shifter so I don't know how the microswitch mounts to it but just get another switch like the one that is used for the neutral safety and play with mounting positions until...

    question on 1031 pricing ..

    You can always sell it and find another one. BUT- how easy will it be to find one as good as the 1031 you have? How far are you willing to drive for one? All good things to consider. Without seeing your 1031 in person it's hard to put a price on it. Now if I was going to sell mine, I'm not...

    Custom Oil Cooler lines...pics...info?

    I would recommend using -6 line. It is big enough. -8 or -10 might be too big to snake in and out of where you need to go with it. And of course it's cheaper. -6 is what is used for transmission oil cooler lines on most hot rods and drag cars. -8 or -10 will work, I'm just saying it is a bit...

    Which engine?

    If you have deep pockets the ls9 would be fun. Something a little more in the average guys budget would be a 6 liter. I'm doing a conversion on a customer's 85 chevy civvy pickup using a 2009 ly6 6.0 engine with variable valve timing and the 6l80e transmission. Relatively easy swap, as far as ls...

    Thz71's M1008

    I removed my sway bar when I put the lift on my truck and I don't notice it gone at all. You will be fine without it.

    Thz71's M1008

    Project is looking good. I like the way that flat bed looks. I think you will get more use out of the truck that way. Keep the pics coming when you get back to the front.

    Towing question

    I believe the biggest problem is the size of the sidewalls on the tires, meaning that there is more flex left to right. Maybe deflection is a better word for it? 2 weeks ago I pulled my cucv home from our place up north, which is 260 miles. This is my tan truck with the 37 inch hmmwv tires. I...

    Need members honest opinions of value for my m1009

    I wonder if Gimpy would mind if I copy his current signature? Nobody ever seems to get mad at him on this site:naner:

    Need members honest opinions of value for my m1009

    Don't be a quiter. Or is that truck really that bad that you want to get rid of it and blame it on going back to school? Seems like a lame excuse!

    1.2 cst Injector Pumps and turbo

    I cant say for sure about the functionality of the cold weather pump but I'm thinking that it will be fine running the regular blend fuel through it. I doubt the timing would be any different though. I have a banks sidewinder on my truck and I turned it up a quarter turn, just like the tech...

    Specs of m1102 bolts for bow/tarp???

    They are 3/8 - 16 NC. Find some about an inch long. Any longer and they will bind with each other when tightend. Meaning the top bolt will hit the bottom bolt when installed all the way if bolts are too long.

    Trailer hitch

    I did the same thing with one of my trucks. Cut off a receiver from a hitch that was made to bolt to the frame of some other truck. Then I welded it to the bottom of the flat plate on the bumper directly below the pinte hitch. I pulled my 18 foot fiberglass bass boat. It worked ok but the bottom...

    CUCV hard starting, surge at idle . . . have tried several things

    I had a problem with hard starts and surging on my '08. After fuel pump/filter stil no change. Turned out to be a small pinhole in the fuel line under the rear of the cab. If I remember correctly it was under a small metal cover or guard. The steel fuel line was rubbing on the bottom of the cab...

    Love my CUCV and so does everyone else.

    On the vin number 4th character is the GVW indicator. It's an "H" on a M1028/A1/A2/A3, M1031, M1010, a "G" on an M1008/A1, and an "E" on an M1009 Your truck looks good with that box on it. Where around Hayward are you at? Keep an eye out for my tan cucv. I stay around Loretta on the weekends.

    Banks turbo pyrometer readings???

    I agree with FMJ. The EGT is what you have to worry about, not the coolant at 200 degrees. I wouldn't worry about the coolant temp until it goes over 225 degrees. On my truck I get off of the skinny pedal when my EGT hits 1000, and this can happen fast on a grade while pulling a trailer.
