Depends, how clapped out are they now? I'd say an AAL will probably help with maintaining ride height with a plow or get a little boost up but not both.
You are probably a good candidate for an appropriately rated spring.
I don't think the spring cares what axle you have but the U bolts...
If you actually want to sell this is probably your time. Personally a decent M1009 to me is a $3-5k truck. It just doesn't really have nothing special. Sure it's a clean square body so it has that. But now a days I'd guess it would be over $10k easily with the premium stuff is getting.
I...
You could go anywhere after the valve at the pump but the best place would be right at the modulator. If you have a delivery issue and take the reading up near the engine you will be chasing your tail. There is a long metal tube going down the transmission, could have a pinhole or crack.
I...
I think I have two like new condition modulators. I'd be willing to part with them cheap. I now have a 4L80 so no need for it.
Really need to take a vacuum reading at the modulator. It's going to take some time to set it up with a tee fitting and some extra hose but it's a shit in the dark...
If you have a primary and secondary you would only fill the primary. If you only have one spin on then no.
The theory is that when you fill by hand any contamination in the fuel is bypassing the element and going into the injection pump.
Sure there is variation depending on if the filter is a...
40's are the new 35's 🤣
They look good. How bad is the power with those? I felt like 37's were always at the acceptable limit. When I say acceptable limit I mean slower then a Prius but faster then a golf cart.
I've had mine on for ten years. That's maybe 20,000 miles. Never been changed once. Probably many years past my comfort level but I have spares in the truck and it's waaaaay down on the list of things to do.
I've pulled a 205 and 4L80 (seperately of course) with that garbage $100 jack. It's paid for itself. Sure I wouldn't buy one for commercial daily work but yanking drive lines out in a storage unit...it's boss.
For a tcase I use a 2x4 under the center of the case so the front output sits...
Like any chain case it's easy peezy. You could even pull it apart in halves out of the truck if you don't have a jack.
If you don't have a good bearing puller kit now would be a good time to get one. I think the front output roller bearing in the back half is tough sometimes to get out.
I've worked in cars for 23 years and never bench bled. Vacuum bleeding solves a lot of problems.
In my storage unit I have no air so I use a check valve bleeder in a small container filled with fluid. Pumpy Pumpy and it pushes the air out. Whatever it pulls back in it's pulling from a...
Hey
Good call, if it wasn't plugged in it's fine. So you are a step ahead of the game if they have been rebuilt.
Time to buy a voltmeter if you don't have one.
Check your charging voltage in the truck with it running. It will only tell you the truth.
Solid chance you may have popped the regulator by shorting it. Those plugs can be found anywhere. Simple fix, be sure to use a quality heat shrink but connector. If you are selling your truck then use...
My opinion...now would be a great opportunity to acquire the proper tools including basic electricity knowledge. After getting a firm grasp on ohm's law and how to read a diagram, go through the entire truck and undo what has been done. Go back to factory, then test one system at a time.
Trying...
I think you're right. The 6.2 will never be capable of hurting a well built 700R4. Both of my trucks have 205s and it's pretty easy to mate them using a spacer so that pushed me in that direction. I also really like being able to dial in shift points and firmness with a click of a button. But I...
I want to drive one with a 700R4. I know strength wise it's a downgrade but on paper it's great. Has good ratio spreads, low first, tall OD, lockup converter, and it's all hydraulic. For a CUCV that's a great match.
In my mind I always want the beef but in reality when is my CUCV going to be...
