just got the the go ahead from GF can order spectra radiator on Tuesday,the B850

Yeah,thats not right,I would think fuel system.Mine has fact.308 gears and 33 inch diam tires.

Thanks Rich,Im more than happy with my 1009,actually felt guilty flooring it for 0-60 test.Just wish I had more CUCVs

Check ot the Hella#003427291 lights,love them and take a replacable bulb,can also get some high watt bulbs for them.

Start cheap,fuel lines checked to make sure not pinched off,new lift pump,a fuel press. gauge helps.Maybe fuel sock in tank plugged?For fuel press.gauges I use Mr.Gasket# 1560 mounted inline from pump and#1561 screwed into spin on filter housing on exit side,this way I know if fuel pump going...

12-14 seconds,but I have about 150lbs. of extra weight,shes my rolling garage,as I have no garage.

Tomorrow will do a 0-60 time,would be interested in other 0-60 times as well.

Sounds like you have done pretty good on your own,I would add oil press.gauge and do a compression check,maybe trans. temp gauge.And you should show some picts of rack and offroad light set-up. Keep up the good work. My 1009 approaching 95k,bought it with 64k,getting ready to replace IP...

Could be lift pump,mine did this once,the rubber line actually squeezed off in front of pump and starved motor of fuel.After this I put fuel pressure gauges before filter and after,makes it easy to diagnose.

Ran some errands today,kept smelling a whiff of antifreeze,got home popped hood no leaks.Turn truck off look under hood again,steam rising up from left tank on radiator,Great, new radiator in future.

I was really surprised to see how adaptable they are ,and not that expensive.

Other than keeping it original,is there any reason not to go with a 3/8 npt to 10an fitting to 10an braided hose to a remote cooler?

Received rebuilt IP today,not sure I want to tackle this on my own for first time.Changed thermostat and upper hose,switched KC Highlite lenses from offroad long range to fog lenses,much nicer.Still kept 100w bulbs and no one flashes brights at me.

Interesting idea,never thought about that?What if you put both back there?Better weight dist.and opens up space underhood.

If the motor is spinning up and just not shifting its probably a vacuum issue,if motor is still sluggish its probably fuel related.

You guys were right the hotstart unit is really nice,but much bigger than I thought.Will save for future use.Gonna install Temro 1000w freeze plug heater soon.Thanks for input.

I also have a Temro 1000w freeze plug heater ,but kinda like the tank style,

Recently purchased a block heater from Derby on here.Its a sb115100-000,1500w,Going to feed it from lower radiator hose,but wondering if I should run through heater core or if it would be better to route into block through a freeze plug with an adaptor welded on?Or into coolant cross-over...

Wired mine up today temporarily works good and easy.Will mount permanent this week when it warms up a bit.Low 30s today,mid 40s the rest of week.

3-5$ at a yard around here.The 8.5 has ears on bottom of housing,the 7.5 does not.Pretty easy to tell difference.
