Mostly, I can't speak to going GV unit in the M1009 because it seems few guys have done it. The reason I suspect is because 1009's have a pretty good road-worthy final output, meaning, a rear axle geared for 3:73 (correct me if I'm wrong) which gives decent freeway speeds & mileage. Wanting...

BTW: nice install writeup--- Good stuff~!

Thought I should respond because some might get the negative impression that GV units are not worth the money spent, which I believe would be wrong. For one thing they ARE NOT difficult to install in stock vehicles, if you have some wrenching experience and follow instructions, it is doable in...

BRAVO~! After my install the speedo was off too even tho I gave GV all needed info, rear axle ratio, tire size, whatever, so they sent me another nylon gear--- don't recall the tooth count, but as fate would have it at the same time my speedo-in-dash went kaput completely. So can't really help...

Maybe I'm kinda thick-headed, but let me see if I can understand what you have... my 208 T-case uses the same spline count at final output shaft as TH400 trans, forget the number of splines, along with a GV coupler placed at the end of adapter which mates with GV unit. Then, GV unit has provided...

Not sure what you're saying. Are you changing the 205 adapter from a slip-yoke to a fixed yoke? And yes, no matter which way it goes you must have drive shaft re-sized. BTW I saved my original DS in case I want to pull the GV unit and return my truck to stock.

Been a while since I looked in... as for the PTO I hadn't even considered it. Maybe call Gear Vendors and ask, they're really helpful people. And I can't really see your pictures too well. Maybe try attaching instead of embedding? That way they come out larger when you click on them.

Can you show some pics of 1031 underside for comparison? Maybe a dimension or two will help.

Hey guys, finally did my GV install and would like to do a post here on it but too much else happening right now that limits my time. In a nutshell: it works as advertised, only there were some install and operation issues that, due to other prior commitments, I've had to put aside for the time...

Thanks again Gprez, sure appreciate your taking time to post all this stuff. I prolly could have PM-ed you for more details but figured it might be of interest to others, as well as getting the input from other GV owners, so maybe guys who are curious like I was, can see what's up with the GV...

Looks great! First impressions also awesome! Kick that bad boy into some gears and rough it up--- ya' got a big-time warranty!:beer: (IMHO; better to know if it's a weak sister sooner than later) Question(s) What are your tire's circumference? Stock 235/85x16's are about 32" and I'm planning...

Glad to hear you found a quick solution, wishing you good luck going forward and hoping to hear about your first impressions. Also hope to get MY INSTALL going here asap--- but work has suddenly reared it's ugly head... can you believe I've had this brand new GV unit on my garage bench for over...

Thanks for the info. On that slip yoke issue; is your truck suspension stock or lifted? Maybe there might be a problem there. My plans are not for rock crawling or super tough off road use either. Mostly trails and existing dirt roads, stock suspension, slightly taller tires. My idea in having...

Looking good man! And I'm really liking that lift your truck sitting is on--- sure wish I had access to one! Between my work and all the holiday activities--- STILL haven't gotten to my GV install---- but truck DID have a successful restart after months of sitting, and with fingers crossed, the...

YEAHHHHH!!!!! Woo-hoo! Awesome dude! WOW! Just got a new GV unit myself a couple weeks ago and been busy tying up a lot of loose ends (new starter, new flexplate, belts, hoses, fluid changes, total starting/charging system cleaning and inspection) and FINALLY I'm ready to do the GV install...
