JEGS has a 350 with a roller cam, vortec heads & a 4 bolt main. Brand new with a 36000 mile warranty for $ 2050. I can't build one for that. I bought two, one for my 1009 & one for my towtruck. Both are still in the process. You wont be sorry. John

THANK YOU.. I'm 58, plan to keep these rustfree trucks for the rest my life, (I drive approx. 2,000 miles annually & have three trucks) & want to make them as trouble free as possible. I'm not at all interested in making them a rolling tribute to all of the brave men & women in our armed forces...

700r4s are great transmissions. Although inheredly weak & very expensive to rebuild in there stock form. They can be built to be bulletproof.. but that is very very expensive (think thousands of $) If you know someone or have the abuility to rebuild it yourself it will save you a lot but your...

Hi bob.. (OR Pacman... whoever??) I'm in southern Kentucky. Believe it or not.... it's your lucky day. P.M. (private message) me for my phone number & we'll get together & solve all of these problems for you. I just happen to have all of the parts you need (including complete running motors) &...

Yes.. I understand that they did this at G.M. factory. I was a layout inspector at G.M. Flint assy. from 1984 thru 1987. I worked hand in hand with the govt. inspectors for all of the cucvs that went down the line. (govt. insp.s had to be on the premises every time a cucv went down the line...

Wow... I've said it about a zillion times.... whatever you do.. either good or bad will come back to you 10 times over. It's not just an opinion or belief of mine. (I've got a bunch of those & try really really hard not to push them on anybody.... sometimes I fail ;) ) I've witnesses it & had it...

I have seen 10 bolts that have had 8 lug hubs put on them. You can make them fit. I have no idea why someone would do such silly things such as that. After all of these years... I just quit wondering.(it was giving me gray hair & keeping me up at night... I hada quit it) My kid runs dually axels...

41 pages & 407 posts... I am extremely impressed with the comraderie & helpfullness of this group of people. MY HATS OFF TO EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU. John

Yep.. your no doubt right... I'd be the first one to admit that I don't understand em at all. Shoot half of the things on there.... I don't even know what it's called let alone does. Now I've been building hi-perf. small & big block chevy motors for an awful long time, understand them really...

NO don't get me wrong. As I stated "I love my trucks". They just need a few upgrades to be dependable, daily driven drivers that you can count on 99.9999% of the time, & in their stock configuration.... they are not. In my opinion anyone who claims that they are, are either the luckiest person...

{quote by recovery4x4} The thread will not be closed because of opposing ideas. Healthy debate may help others in the future. I think referring to any member who offers an opposing view as a troll is unjust. Just because a member starts a thread doesn't mean he moderates it...

I'm really glad it's working great for you. I hope you have a ton more uneventful miles. ;) 10 out of 20 is about a 50% average on this page if this new math hasn't changed in the last forty years since I was a math major in colledge. Somewhat better than I would of expected. But still every...

Yep.. I've often said that I'm about as technology adept as a trained ape.aua I mean I might as well figure it's some kind of a magic box :?: cause I sure don't even begin to understand it. Heck I don't know why or how a simple telephone works, but I'm sure glad it does. ;) John

Stan -- ya know I've spent a little time thinking (being alone with your thoughts seems to be a byproduct of living alone in the mountains. ;) it's a good thing) about why most like minded people really enjoy that YUKON MEN show. I've come to the conclusion that we all live vicariously thru your...

Thanks... I'll try to post some pictures up, but I'm not exactly what you'd consider electronically literate. I've never texed, twerted ,tweetered or any of that stuff... shoot I don't even own a cellphone. It's not that I'm too stupid to learn (I went thru colledge, owned my own business &...

Hi Stan .. I also was impressed with your bush-repair of the tranny line. I will make sure to put some good tape & some quality string in my toolbox. The engine oil cooler lines are another weak link (just a lousy design). I replaced them with ordinary heavy duty hydraulic lines from a tractor...

Stan.. I've got a m1031 same as yours with a pto. I even have a 20,000 pto driven winch that I got in a partial swap for the box & generater. but I bought a couple of 12,000 lb winches from harbor freight for less than $300 each. I'm putting these on for just ease of installation. (one on the...

Hi Stan.. believe me Stan ... I sure wasn't laughing at you. I have the utmost respect for YOU & for EVERYONE else in Tanana. I've had a ton of medical problems & can't get around in deep snow, or I would be living up in the Yukon someplace. It has been my dream all of my life. There is...

This 1962 Kaisor frazior computer of mine froze up on me before I could finish.... Sorry about that. Stan... you're my new hero.:clinto: John
