    frt driveshaft issue after 700r4 install

    Hi, hoping for some advice. Installed a 700r4 mated to an np205 t/c in my M1031. Left the frt driveshaft out until tonight while I got some issues sorted out with my TV cable. Went to install my frt shaft, WHOOPS, cv joint will not fit. It hits the pan on the tranny. Will I be able to swap out...

    tv cable question

    Hi, I am in the hopefully finishing stages of my 700r4 conversion. I started to hook my throttle valve to my recently acquired bracket and the hole is round but the cable end is mostly square with a notch on one side. Do I have to modify the hole in bracket to fit the cable?? TIA, Mark

    contact body weight

    Well, after a coupla months of trying to sell my contact body, I am going to end up scrapping it. Aluminum is pretty good price right now, so does anybody have an idea how much the bare shell would weigh?? Just looking for a general idea, unless someone knows exactly. Mark

    Revamped M1031

    Here's my truck after I made a few changes. Banks turbo, took off the contact bed and replaced it with a flatbed. I know some of you will not care for me changing, but I like it much better now. :-)

    lift pump and banks turbo

    Hi, I am installing a Banks turbo kit. Was just wondering how many people are still using the mechanical lift pump with the banks turbo?? Seems to be a very tight fit, wondered if it would be better to use an electric fuel pump and a block off plate?? Thanks, Mark

    m1031 contact body worth??

    I am going to pull the secm body off my truck in the next couple of weeks to install a flatbed. would anybody on this board close to north Ga be interested in it? If so, you can e-mail me or pm me. If nobody wants, I will probably sell for scrap. BTW, It doesn't have a generator or anything in it.

    nv4500 or 700r4?

    I have done searches for this topic on both trannys. What I am asking if anybody has done either of these swaps, what was the better combination in a M1008 or M1009. I have a M1031 that I want to drive faster than 60 on the interstate. Looking for input, thanks. Mark

    Found a M1009, need help with wait light

    Hey guys, did a search and didn't see anything on this particular problem. There is a fuse blowing each time you start the truck in the fuse panel. Truck will start with anew fuse, then fuse blows, no Glow plug "WAIT" light. Replace fuse, wait light comes on, truck starts, fuse blows. Any ideas...
