Cleanliness is godliness to an auto trans! Take your time, measure all clearances, adjust clutches/brakes if necessary, and invest in a cooler. Be sure to flush your TQ

A truck with a 6.2 diesel doesn't make for any type of covert super secret operations ;) Sweet rig! If I had an M1008 I would be all over one of those shelters. As far as being near the southern border...forget the surveillance, just put a remote mounted 50 cal in place of the camera!

I hate to say this but rig the IP with a jumper wire to the batt, get it to crank, pull the GP card, and use starting fluid or a gas soaked rag to get it to fire. A bullet heater pointed at the engine may help you out significantly. As long as your fuel system is air free, you will atleast be...

Lowering caster on a truck with big tires may make it steer easier, good luck with wander and bumpsteer. That will get ugly fast... This is crazy, going to the gym is an easier way to build your biceps. Removing power steering is not a good idea.

I don't understand, why not just weld on caliper mounts instead of fixing what is there? Saves weight and probably cheaper than replacing drum parts.

Bad connection at the IP solenoid wire?

Depends on what the OP is looking for in a truck. Yeah, that is a super cheap and great way to get a turbo and overdrive. Good point on resale, you'll never get the money back out of it. I also despise the DB4 IP due to the electronics. I think it's a great idea if you accept the pros an cons...

I think dollar for dollar you can't be a really good sealed beam like a Silverstar or an H4 conversion lense with a quality bulb. I prefer the upper white color without crossing into a bluish color. Can't beat the upgrade cost wise. If you can take the plunge, HID or LED replacement lights are...

I don't see how electric is an upgrade. The mechanical pump works fine in a stock setup.

My M1031 came with a lockable cap...has an entire aluminum service box covering it!

Is the sound resonating at the same frequency of the wheel speed or about three times faster. This will indicate if it's ring gear/axle noise or pinion/driveshaft/tcase. If the noise changes with the gears, probably in the trans.

Looks like someone drove off with the brakes jammed on that one wheel...good candidate for a disc brake swap :)

I simply don't understand why they took such a high output engine and mated it to a TH400. Talk about choking...that engine needs a manual trans or a new 6 speed to bang through the gears. I agree, still ruined the truck.

You are cute... Let's do a heater core competition. I will take one out of an 84' CUCV and you can take one out of a 2014 2500HD. I win! Not good enough, lets do a front end rebuild. CUCV=repack wheel bearings, new kingpins, and 4 leaf spring bushings. 2014 2500 HD=my head hurts...you lost me...

Older is better...I will tell you why. Ever since the American population became so obsessed with buying useless stuff, the fixation on the automobile has become greater every decade. Not to get into "new stuff sucks" mode because EFI has it's place but newer stuff is lame. Ever since the 80's...

The NP208 isn't great but at least it's cheap to run and does the job. Any new parts that needs to be replaced on the newer case (pump issues, actuators, etc.) you can buy a pallet of NP208's. Have you actually used a late model truck for work? A 2500 HD with a plow is just a joke...keep stock...

The old K30 chassis is still a big floppy C channel design but the newer trucks can't compare...they are junk. The only thing going for them is updated engine and transmission technology. Yes, makes more power but suck to work on. The 5/4 ton CUCV trucks would be great higher capacity work rigs...

Just fired mine up without any engine heat in the fifteens. Cycled twice and kicked over. Good batts, fresh GP's, and a good starter. Should have no issues if your IP and fuel system are in good shape.

Tell the shipper to drop it in NH and I'll write you a check ;)

You can check for proper grounding by opening the radiator cap and sticking in a DVOM lead to measure voltage drop to ground. I want to say anything over 0.1v DC is bad but I would google the procedure to become more familiar with it. I agree with everyone...sounds like electrolysis or a...
