Awesome write up, I did most of my 4l80e swap off of this information.
I have been having issues with the transfercase, prior to the swap I had no issues with it, popped it in after and not getting 4LO, it like neutral. Took off the linkage and manually shifted it, same thing. Any advice...
Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone had any input for the issue Im having with my M1009.
I swapped in a 4L80E and mated it to the original NP208 that was rebuilt and working fine the last 3 years. I also swapped in tons with 4.10 gears on 35's. My truck used to just about crawl in 4LO up or...

So my 86 m1009 is my first off road truck, Is it normal when shifting into 4H/4L there is always a little grinding sound? I stop the truck, put it into neutral then go into 4H or 4L, and if I am in 4L and I try to put it into park after its engaged it makes this awful grinding so I have to keep...

I have been doing research on putting in an aftermarket or picking an AC from my local yard but, I was thinking of using my portable AC, haven't needed it since I moved, it already has a vent hose to run out of the truck (hose I used to run out of the house), I already have a 2300W converter I...
