    how do u start your m1008

    All of this cranking for oil and fuel puzzles me, diesel fuel should never leak down if it does theres a air leak in the system and you have a problem. Cranking a vehicle to prelube is still turning the motor over and causing wear, if you want to prelube your motor before starting why not put...

    mark the driveshaft at the rear end with some chalk or something to make sure you re install it the way it came out. remove the two u joint straps. make sure truck is chocked the wheels so it doesnt roll (yes ive had a truck roll with me under it and drag me out of a driveway lol).

    How much is a "bad" transfer case leak?

    No leak is a good leak. Easiest seal to replace remove driveshaft and put one in. Used to have speedy sleeves (dont know if they do anymore but assume they do) for the np 208. But being a slip yoke all you have to do is pull the rear shaft pry out ald seal put in new one and you will save...

    How many miles can you go with a M1009

    17mpg avg you would be at 340 miles with just 20 gallons of fuel, with very little idle time. And 459 miles on a full tank. Starving the inj pump is not a good thing. even at 15 mpg u should be over 330 miles.

    recovery for the other green addiction

    I like the old Deere stuff, and honestly I guess my problem with Deere is the people who know nothing about farm equipment running around with a brand name..... But honestly anything used on the farm I like

    anyone running 2.5t rocks under their CUCV?

    Or you can use a 4link suspension and move the axle forward. And have a low lift. I have never used rocks in a 6.2 powered rig but I have used them with my buggy and cab truck, with 54 boggers and 46 in claws. But I had a 22re turning all diff options of tires, and it worked fine for my...

    cucv lift kits

    well I have a diff mindset than most, I would go lowest lift as possible with the tire you want, I would look for good flex, lots of droop and a very stable suspension. That being said for 35's I would go 4 inch with some trimming. I would do a 52 inch spring swap on the front and probably a ORD...

    cucv lift kits

    If your mudding and rock crawling you might just want to do a little research like DOK pointed out. Theres alot of great lifts that can be had for a steal if your good at sorcing parts. I loved my 52 in spring swap, and my 63's in the rear. I never dropped my t-case, but I did cut my perches...

    Results from the tractor pull

    Man I know your having fun but if you hook again, on a tight track like that, use 3rd gear low range, atleast, dont know what gear you pulled with but with some more wheel speed you would have pulled a ton farther, get that sled moving fast. For all I know you might have hard to hear with the...
