Anyone down in this neck of the woods want to meet up during the day, maybe head out for a local drive? I've had a few people interested so I figure start a quick thread to see interest level and availability. We could meet in either town and do a local drive, maybe run through Holley Shelter...

I do not remember off the top of my head what the temp rating is but stick with the factory temp. No reason to deviate. If you are running too cold it needs radiator blockage in winter. If running too hot you have a malfunctioning cooling sytem. IMO of course :) I have a mechanical temp gauge...

I will tell you with my 4" over stock height that a 2" drop pitman is too much. I can't get my steering wheel centered because I run out of adjustment. It's not too far off but if I could get another half inch shorter in the draglink I'd probably have enough room to center up fine. If I had to...

Wait till it pops in a straight line at high speed :)

Obviously it is tough to get it running without GPs but running the engine up nice and hot, shutting it off, unscrew a single GP, spray in there with WD40...sometimes you can work them out. Mine had a few pretty bad. Didn't break a single one. Took very long though because once you change out a...

Ideas for a meet and greet ride... In my neck of the woods - Wilmington -drive down to Wrightsville Beach -head to Carolina Beach and get out on the sand ($20 daily permit pass required) -go to Fort Fisher -up to Holly Shelter to do some shooting Anyone with more ideas or different locations...

I would be down for that. I never need an excuse to take the M1031 for a ride. Should we start a thread for a local meet and greet? Bonus if we could get the trucks out for some low range action.

Greetings Nice ride! I'm about an hour south of you in Wilmington. Give a holler when you want to go burn some diesel fuel.

Tape is no good on a secondary filter fitting.

No prob! Be careful with Teflon it really isnt rated for fuel and it should NEVER be used on the last fitting leading to he IP.

Probably won't do much harm being too tall other than making intake noise greater.

BTW, your truck is sweet! I really dig the small lift, HMMWV wheels, and the HMMWV tire carrier. Everything looks proportional, functional, and just is dialed in!!!

A good test is to put on of your front tire's sidewall against a tall curb or something solid. Then move your wheel back and forth. Look at how much the body moves before the wheel actually deflects against the ground. The more movement, the worse your steering feel is going to be. This is just...

You will notice that under hard braking or hitting uneven bumps in the road like the breakdown lane that the truck tends to steer itself. This happens when the front axle moves rapidly, the short draglink and operating angle causes it to steer without driver input. Offroad, you pretty much lose...

What is the current bumper height right now? From the pic (guessing those are the 40's), you may be pretty close as is with the 37's. As far as steering goes, what corrections have been done to it? At 4" on mine and a 2" drop pitman, it steers ok on the street. Wouldn't want to get it all...

Drop bumper may not work, law states "securely attached to the chassis or frame". They may get you on it not being attached to the stock mounting points. You can't have anything over 30" to the bottom of the bumper in PA. This is all in the book...

Most of the country do not like spacers. I never had an issue with inspections but most techs say no way. The DRW hubs will get you past that since they are a stock item. I think you could almost get away with crossover as long as the tech isn't a Chevy guru. The box appears stock, the pitman...

Helper springs on the back? What...the 5/4 ton 10 leaf with overload not enough??? Fitting 37's on a stock height or even 2" lift truck is not ideal but can be done without massive trimming. It is not necessarily the lift height that will help you clear tires on this truck. You need to push the...

So I see two seperate issues: 1) It won't pass inspection and officers harassing you: I don't see how running HMMWV tires will make this any better. They are oversized and even though DOT approved still a beadlock. Most inspection stations and LEO's will frown upon both of these regardless of...

Ruds are great! I've always been a big advocate for running all terrains because they are quiet, more fuel efficient, balance better, etc. and chain up for nasty stuff rather than running super aggressive tires year round. Chains turn even the worst tire into tank tracks. One thing I will say...
