    Well, will be road trippin Saturday. So if you see a M817 dump bed headin South through MI & East thru Ohio or a M36A2 bed headin West thru Ohio & North through Michigan Wave as we go by, (unless we are on the side of the road) we won't have time to stop for any visits.

    383 in M1008...No Power!

    Dave, I thought the governor controls the 1-2 shift when the shifter is left in 1st. The adjustable vacuum modulator can alter the shift points. The adjustment screw is inside the vacuum port. Unless the mid 80's diesel TH400's are different than the 70's I have mine set for a 5500 rpm shift...

    That confirms the need for a higher stall.

    383 in M1008...No Power!

    A 383's gonna have more torque than a 350 because of the longer stroke. If your rocker arm ratio is bigger than 1.5 that could put it past the limits of a stock TC Did you put a new or used carb on? If used / not freshly rebuilt, then that is probably the issue. Oh and if your rear brakes are...

    383 in M1008...No Power!

    The OP stated that he installed an Edelbrock carb.

    383 in M1008...No Power!

    The stock TC from a 6.2 is gonna kick in before 1,000 with a SBC either get a Holeshot 2000 or a TC from a SBC powered vehicle.

    383 in M1008...No Power!

    I Think my Deuce is Broken

    A M109 to get it to smoke you'll need to fire off a round. Now with a M109A4, you won't get much smoke. and 50 mph is maxed out, 2900 rpm's will take the 9 lives out of that Cat

    M35A2 As a working Truck

    Misinformation! Just because it is a M35A2C does NOT mean it has the split brakes. The split brakes were added to the A2's in the late 80's I believe, Search for the facts.

    GL description

    As GL doesn't care if it runs or not when you buy it, it is likely a base restriction. Not to mention a darn good idea.

    Medium tow bar feet ?

    To answer the original question No - the 3/4" feet are smaller all around vs the 1" feet Now I wish I would have thought of the bushing idea before I dropped $75 on a set of 1"

    Deuce tow rating

    Brakes! and the 10,000 is the on road tpw rating of an A2

    How much would you tow with this?

    IIRC the typical trailer weight rating for a pickup step bumper is 3500 lbs. as well as most other bumper hitches ( pre- 5mph crash bumpers) If the welds are good I can't see an issue with towing a 2200 lb boat. but I don't know what the vehicle is you have it on here. If it's a M1009 I'd add...

    SS members what do you think ?

    I don't have a good dependable bike. I have taken the M880, It will be in the rear. I don't often get the chance to go on many honor missions, yet the truck has been well received. I do find it quite depressing that I cannot do more. Again, it is about honoring the fallen, when it is over we...

    M880,318 to 360 swop

    318 is internal and 360 is external. Do not use 318 dampner or torque convertor on a 360.* *there are after market flex plates with the balance weight that allows the use of a std torque convertor as found on 318's.

    Any Ideas

    Quite possibly the fuel you dumped in the intake (hoping anyway). I guessing you need to bleed the lines to the injectors, but I don't know 6.2's I'm sure someone that knows something will post up. Good luck Post your location if still on the side of the road, help may be near you.

    M880,318 to 360 swop

    Did you know that your A/C compressor can be easily modded to an air compressor? One of these years I'm going to do that with my Ambulance. (has the 360 w/air already) I've been tempted to swap the 360 out of my dart and into my M880
