    Shackle Question

    Doubtful the dealer carries them, so you'll have to find them on the used market. Sent you a PM.

    Found a CUCV flatbed dually in GA

    Good call, Dave! Didn't even notice that until you mentioned it, that's a 14-bolt free-floater for sure.

    Found a CUCV flatbed dually in GA

    Looks like an M1008 with a rear axle swap... Has potential, though.

    Glow Plug Relay Rewiring help needed

    This sounds correct. No continuity to the mount is what you want.

    tires/wheels

    There are several tire size calculators on the internet to help compare sizes, I prefer this one here. Should help with comparing sizes very quickly to see their differences. The standard sizes follow the same convention as the metric sizes: 37x12.5x16 = 37" diameter, 12.5" tread width, and a...

    Good post. I printed out that very same page after trying to differentiate suspension part numbers for the M1028 versus the M1028A2/A3.

    tires/wheels

    1) I wouldn't go any bigger than a 285/75-16 on the stock wheels, roughly 33" tall and 11-1/2" wide. 2) The wider wheels will only be necessary if you go to a significantly wider tire. If you're looking for something taller than a 33" tire, then I would suggest aftermarket wheels that will...

    Gear oil in the transfer case?

    I've noticed the same thing as Brian, same fluid throughout the driveline. Makes sense, as it eliminates any possibility of two different viscosities mixing and also simplifies materials requirements for servicing.

    HELP! Starter issues and Im in Mexico

    Mine is more of a "snap", but it sounds so heavy-duty, I love it. More proof (in the pudding) that the AC40 relay is junk... Glad everything worked out for you! [thumbzup]

    Parts truck vs. buying individual parts

    Preview, preview, preview... 8) The good news is that at bare minimum you'll have rebuildable cores for the big-ticket items.

    Heading to Holloman NM. From Sedona Az.

    Unfortunately, your item at Holloman was too large and I've no trailer to help with... :-( I'm along the east end of Highway 60 if you need roadside help, though!

    Parts truck vs. buying individual parts

    My truck was missing a lot of parts, courtesy of one of the previous owners (a member here on the forum)..... So it made sense for me to buy another truck to get what I needed.

    Sway bar help needed

    This is how I had to do mine last week, didn't have the correct size socket for the impact. Good luck!

    Sway bar help needed

    Those large bolts on the sway bar should be torqued to 320-lb/ft, which makes them a bear to remove even when not rusty. If you can get ahold of a pneumatic impact gun, that would be best. Meanwhile, spray it down with a lot of penetrating oil, and try applying heat.
