    It's not me getting married. It's my children and younger relatives. Been there done that years ago. Still happily married. Wife don't drive CUCV's would if she had to but don't have to.

    M1009 Transmission options question: TH400 vs 700R4

    I agree. I would rather spend the money on something else. This is a no real return on modifications that don't need done. I was just asking because I never saw anything different about any of the plow trucks that I have used. I would NOT spend extra cash to change something for that small gain...

    M1009 Transmission options question: TH400 vs 700R4

    Thats not an answer to my question. I am asking what the trade off is? If you put the 700R in an M1028 does it make it RPM wise while cruising like a truck with the 3:73 gears and the TH400 or like a TH400 with 4:10 gears? I am asking because I had/have all 3 with the same K30 6.2 diesel 4 x 4...

    M1009 Transmission options question: TH400 vs 700R4

    What is the equal gear ratios to the OD unit? Does it make it like 4:10's , 3:73's? Just asking for some comparison. As I have had K30 trucks with TH400 and these gears. I am asking for some comparisons.

    M1009 Transmission options question: TH400 vs 700R4

    Gear Vendor on an M1009 Blazer? Hmm would you even be able to install a drive shaft? Or would it be yoke to ujoint to rear axle? i don't think an M1009 Blazer could have a much shorter drive shaft. The original guy was talking about options in an M1009 Blazer. That is why I mentioned the axle /...

    M1009 Transmission options question: TH400 vs 700R4

    Tinman 84. If it was me and I had this issue. I would take the easy route. Just change the gears in the rears. I put a set of 4:10's in an M1009 Blazer for a customer. And the easiest way is change the complete axle assemblies. He lived in the the north east and pulled a utility trailer. It was...
