You will be a big fan of those sized tires when you put the stockers back on and realize 55mph is your new cruise speed :)

Body looks pretty clean, I would hunt around looking for repairs either way. At that price point I personally would want a fairly turn key rig only needing minor work. Also inspect the suspension since it has been modified. You do not want to find any hokey stuff like huge lift blocks or...

I'm glad you picked this up, seems like you are enjoying the new ride! You can use your existing A/C compressor for onboard air if you fix the clutch. You just need an inline oiler and dryer. Remember, if you want A/C in the cab like we discussed, the hard work is already done. You have a...

I would recommend anyone that is a Stanadyne certified shop that is local and priced under $600.

Glad I could help out!

Wait, you guys can actually hear music while driving? I have a pair of 12" subs in a truck box with horns because I need that volume to listen to music, especially with the ear plugs in...

Going directly to the battery would probably minimize voltage loss in the cables under load. Personally, I run mine right into the slave port front and rear because I use a multimount winch. Makes for a clean install with minimal wiring. Plus I can transfer it to another CUCV in the future. If...

Tough to say, low output could be worn brushes. Jumping voltage could be regulator. IMO, get the rebuild kit and tear them down. Be sure to get a quality kit for an isolated ground alternator.

There will not be one aftermarket part in that truck :) Congrats on the new purchase, enjoy the new truck!

I think the NP205 got filled according to what it is attached to. Auto trans it gets ATF, manual trans it gets gear lube...the NP205 goes both ways ;) This is not uncommon for gear driven tcases along with some manual transmissions like the T5. A CUCV can be basic and reliable. If you want...

For some reason, belts are never easy to find for a CUCV. Lots of varying info and fitment issues. The ones I bought worked but were at the end of travel for adjustment. You may want to source your first set of belts locally to avoid fitment issues. That is the price you pay for going local. If...

You will have to define "every day trucks" because that varies greatly among people. If you are looking for something that will cruise 80mph with air conditioning comfort and not put you asleep from the noise, you may want to start with something different. That is going to take a lot of time...

Fairly common failure for the flexplate to crack or like mentioned above, the torque converter bolts loosening up. Could also have been improper installation from a previous repair. Either way, just pull the inspection cover and take a look up in there. You may need to find someone with an...

I would say drain the oil and send it for analysis or disconnect the torque converter to see if the noise is engine or trans related. This would be an alternative to running it up and disconnecting injectors to isolate the noise to a specific cylinder or pulling covers in hopes of seeing some...

Well that just makes it too easy!

What are your plans for the conversion? Are you going to install a dually bed or fab something up? I've contemplated taking the M1031 stuff and building it into a trailer that the PTO shaft can run to and turn the truck into a more usable DD/wheeler/hauler. Of course the cost of doing all of...

Man you just gave me sticker shock on gearing. I really want to get into an NV4500 at some point but I have the figure 8 pattern NP205 which I think creates issues. I was thinking an NP241/205 doubler to solve that problem on the cheap and get the extra gearing. I'm thinking that could be done...

M1010 rigs are cool, you need to buy this if the thing is solid!!!!

Is that kit OK for a daily driver vehicle? Probably worth the money to install if you are in there doing a rebuild anyway if it will stand up to lots of miles.

Agreed, something on my list of things to do since I have no idea if mine have been replaced recently. Judging by the rest of the truck, probably originals.
