    H1 Wheels 1 ton axles M1009

    Those H2 wheels are about 5" back spacing, they would tuck under the fenders and keep your scrub radius small. Honda.... any idea what size tires you want?

    H1 Wheels 1 ton axles M1009

    What size tires do you want to run? Are you totally against spacers? You could run H1 wheels with 2 inch spacers, or re-enter with flat spacers pushed all the way in for about 5" back spacing. The less scrub radius you have the better with no lift. You may also consider offset plates or zero...

    Off Road Design Engine Crossmember

    Appreciate the advice from everyone. Ended up attacking the stock crossmember with a air chisel and sawzall. Wasn't too bad. Left the rig in the garage until the crossmember shows up. Also going to toss some new springs up front because my cheap Superlift ones were sagging. I'll post some...

    Off Road Design Engine Crossmember

    To the guys that have an ORD crossmember. I just ordered up one an hour ago. I'd like to knock out my crossover steering this weekend, but the stock crossmember is in the way. If I hack out the old engine crossmember do you thing it is structurally sound enough to drive the rig afterwards...

    rattle noise. worse when warm

    If it is harder to start, and is blowing smoke on startup it is probably one of three things... 1) A glow plug issue. 2) A compression issue. 3) A fuel injection problem. That combined with it being more noticeable when warm would lead me to an injector issue, espicially if it changes under...

    rattle noise. worse when warm

    My wild guess is an injector with a blown nozzle.

    Leaking Transfer Case - Best Kits for Repair

    One source for parts... https://transpartswarehouse.com/ It isn't a hard to rebuild a 208. The only tricky part is removing the back bearing for the front output shaft. The bearing is in a blind hole so you have to make or buy a puller to remove it. You can buy a bearing and seal kit from...

    DB2 Injection Pump Rod With Spring??

    99% sure you have to pull the pump again. You have to pull the tube off to get to the gear bolts anyway. You can knock it out in 4 hours or less.

    DB2 Injection Pump Rod With Spring??

    They removed and bagged it so it wouldn't get lost, there is no retainer for it. Before you install the pump put that pin and spring in the end of the input shaft.

    So, on a scale of "Meh" to "Dude, you're gonna die by death wobble"

    What is your camber like? If one or both sides are leaning in you might have more kingpin woes. Just because the kingpin bushing was ok does not mean the kingpin bearing on the bottom of the knuckle is OK. Bad shocks can cause all sorts of woes too...

    IP Sourcing

    Whatever shop you choose my only advice is to make sure they use Stanadyne brand parts. I had a pump rebuilt one time with a knock off seal kit, it lasted about 10 months before every rubber part inside disintegrated. There seems to be two different price ranges in rebuilt pumps. The cheap...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Swapped out an injector with a failed nozzle. Mystery cheap Delphi injectors, not sure what caused it to fail. Had less than 10,000 miles on it.

    Passing power with the 4L80E or lack of

    Well, those are decent compression test numbers. Gotta keep it in mind that you have about 100 horsepower at 1800 rpm, and a whopping 150 ish right around the rev limiter somewhere around 3600. If your controller isn't downshifting and letting you get to nearly redline when your foot is on the...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    High likelyhood that the cam and solenoid are gummed up on your wiper motor. Try unplugging everything, take the plastic dust shield off the wiper motor and cleaning it out a bit, then give it good spray down with dry silicone spray. Mine was doing the same thing about 6 months ago.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Nice! That is what I need to do to mine since three years ago when I did the shackle flip. I just cut mine off and now there is 10,000 miles of diesel soot on the back half of the undercarriage behind the rear axle.

    Did they send you a chart of the program?

    Passing power with the 4L80E or lack of

    New injectors are always nice. Have you read your transmission controller manual and double checked everything? Had someone else stomp on the accelerator pedal and make sure the arm on the injection pump has hit the stop? If the controller uses an add on throttle position sensor is it set up...

    Passing power with the 4L80E or lack of

    What percentage of grade were you pulling when it got down to 10mph? That does seem slow. Are you sure that when you floor it the arm on the injection pump is reaching the end of its travel? The throttle cables can be junk, especially the aftermarket ones. I have never had my rig over 10,000...

    Show me your intercoolers

    I don't think there are a lot of guys out there with a symantics cooler on a 6.2/6.5L. I don't think with the low boost you can run on those engines the temperature rise isn't high enough to justify one. If you had a Cummins in there running 30 psi boost then a symantics cooler would be...
