Dude, you're in Colorado and you have a 73-87(91) GM fullsize. Go get a screen name on www.ColoradoK5.com . You've probably got 30 guys on there within easy driving distance of you.

No because while you're regearing you take the Gov Lock out and put something better in. Most of the ones I saw fail were under stock or stockish trucks. Seen them fail from offroading and big tires too but most of the folks I know with big tires and big trucks have already ditched them by...

There's a guy over in Europe on YouTube who has some videos of some marine app 6.2L and 6.5L diesels he's built. Wanna talk about sounding mean.:-D

necroposting...I love it...:-D

I just want a tach and to get rid of the world's biggest fuel gauge.

Actually with a 38x14.5x16 I think he's talking about Super Swampers.

This needs to be added to the FAQ.

6 lug 14FF's have been around forever but yeah, they've always been custom made either with special hubs or just milling down the hubs. In the 88-98 body style trucks there was the 6 lug 14SF axle but it was only in that body style and it obviously wasn't a front axle or a full floater...

Wow...this thread has been dead for like 3.5 years...thread archaeology anyone?:-D

First one seems to be confused as to what he has as there was no 14 bolt front axle and at any rate they never came under the Blazers. Second one seems like a decent price for a 14FF rear axle. Beef, beef, and more beef and should bolt into your M1009. Third link doesn't work for me. Rear Chevy...

5.13's used to be as low as they went. Might be lower available now. You'd need REALLY big tires or double over drive for them though.:wink:

Pretty much anything below 12.5" wide is considered narrow in a 38" tall tire. Guys talk of my 11-11.5" wide 11.00R16's as pizza cutters.:-D 4" of lift, some front axle moving, and a helping of cutting has been used to make 44's fit so these are certainly doable. Just depends how much work...

www.ColoradoK5.com and visit the vendor's forum. That truck is actually a CK5 members'. Goes by the screen name obijuan. I can't remember if he bought it, had it made, or built it himself though.

That picture is Fred Williams from 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine's "Project Army Truck". http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/projectbuild/131_0609_1986_chevy_one_ton/index.html Kennedy worked there while he was doing it and owns a K5 or two himself.

What he said. That's a wide tire and even with 4" of lift it will require fender cutting to properly clear. Most likely a LOT of cutting.

The CUCV's just have the heaviest springs GM offered for that chassis. So the M1009's have something like what you would get if you ordered a K5 with the snow plow and trailer towing packages.

Read the thread some more. There was, it's rare, and it's problematic even with stock sized tires. Only for stockish sized tires.

But not the same master cylinder.

I looked for a HMMWV TH400 pan for a good long time before giving up. If you find more than one let me know please. Couldn't find them anywhere. www.summitracing.com has drain plug kits. It's been a few years but the last one I bought was under $10. I want to say $8 and with shipping it was...

Depends how they do it. A reputable shop flushes everything AND changes the filter so the system is totally clean. A BS shop just flushes the trans on a machine which often knocks a lot of stuff out of the filter and back into the trans. Some don't even do complete flushes.
