    New M1010 CUCV, power steering Q's...

    Aside from the pulling being an issue, a full locker will more than likely just stay engaged and cause no harm. Although a cheapo pocket locker may get angry and try to ratchet. Any type of LSD whether cone, gear, or clutch will try to spin internally. Depending on how much drag occurs, it may...

    How do you figure no damage will occur? All the diff manufacturers that make LSD's specify not to install in a front axle with a disconnect. That is the same situation that would occur if a single hub was sticking. Say what you will but damage may occur not to mention a decent steering pull.

    If one hub is sticking and you have a front LSD, the spiders and clutch packs may have been damaged. Just something to check. A sticking hub with an open diff although bad is not the end of the world, the spiders just rotate around each other and the opposite axle shafts rotates in reverse. Most...

    Sounds like the WVO is working well, gotta be safe with those alternative fuels. If you understand simple diesels and basic marine wiring, you'll have no issues with the CUCV. Everything is either mechanically, electrically, or vacuum operated. The GP controller is the most complex piece of...

    I think all the boxes are the same but I'd check a few years on Rockauto to cross reference the numbers before buying. I would probably spend alittle extra money for a quality reman if this is a work truck. Another thing to check are the tie for ends and kingpins to make sure none are loose or...
