Gripy wants to use the side entrance to the park at smokey bear rd. We can meet at the Parker Rd / Ridge Rte Rd. Exit off the...

    M1009 Runs Cold

    Temp probe is working properly. Gauge shows 140* at most and the hose feels like hot water from the faucet. I can keep my hands on it.

    M1009 Runs Cold

    Recently put in a temp gauge and sensor, replacing the idiot light sensor. Found that my truck runs cold. Temp never goes above 140*F. Even after extended periods of driving around the city. Ambient temp is 60-70s so it's not like it's too cold outside. My brother's 1008 runs around 180F. Is...

    14b on a M1009 Issue

    The 1350 size u joint does not fit into the yoke, the end caps are too big. The 1310 u joint is too short between the end caps, although one of its caps fits into the yoke if you hold the u joint to one side. I believe I have a 1330. My original driveshaft + u-joint fits perfect into the yoke on...

    14b on a M1009 Issue

    Putting a 4.5" rear lift on my 1009 with a 14b axle. The bolts that hold the u joint strap are contacting the end of the driveshaft and preventing it from turning. We are thinking we need to use shims to make the yoke point up a little to solve this issue. I am wondering if anyone has any...

    14bolt Axle Swap into M1009

    Found specs on a 3R joint. The caps are bigger than the 1350. That's a no go http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/p501_3r_series_u_joint...neapco_performance_dynamics_greaseable.html 1330 looks to be what I need. Right cap size and about the right width too Maybe my axle has been messed with...

    14bolt Axle Swap into M1009

    One more question that has come up. I need a conversion u-joint to mate the rear drive shaft and the pinion of the 14b. I had previously ordered a 1310-1350 conversion u-joint but the end-caps are too big for the 14b pinion. Looks like the info I was looking at was wrong. Is a 1310-1330...
