    Front springs, 3 vs 4 leaf

    My 85 M1008 has a flat 4 leaf in the front. It's easy on the pavement, but off road it's stiffer than I care for...

    M1008

    Carc green 383 I think... The disk in the grill you are referring to is part of the infra red light system on the truck.

    My (new) M1008...

    I have a 12V gear reduction on my 86 M1008. It works, but the factory 24V 27MT starter that was on my 85 M1008 spun the 6.2 diesel like like a gas burner with no spark plugs.... warm restarts with the MT was the ignition key touching the start position for .1 of a second

    6.2 and 6.5 engine questions

    On a n/a 6.2 or 6.5 you can play around with the fuel delivery and timing on the injection pump, but that's about it. And the power gains will be minimal. **if you use the turbo set up, be sure to use the dual inlet water pump. It balances out the cooling in the #7 & #8 cylinders. The 6.5 turbo...

    New to the CUCV world.

    Sweet M1009... have fun watching your bank account dwindle lol Assuming it still has the 6.2 diesel, swap out the harmonic balancer for a new unit asap. Old balancers will destroy these engines. I did that to both of mine. Night n day difference plus the reassurance that an old balancer is not...

    Super Lug 9x16 tires

    So I saw an 80's K20 with a set of STA Super Lug 900-16 tires mounted on factory wheels. From what I could tell, those tires were every bit of 36in tall and the section width looked closer to 11in wide. And I could see where the out lugs could make some noise...

    Introducing Smokey

    It's actually a VPA; voluntary public access. The state does not own the land. The timber companies still own the land. The rangers still have jurisdiction over the VPA

    Front Springs?

    If you want stock ride height, a flat factory type 3 leaf is what you need. SD has those springs. Btw, a 6.2 diesel weighs more than a big block chevy...
