Ah, good to know. TH400 is in good working order, so it stays. Aux cooler and tranny temp gauge are on next list. No, i have my Eldorado, if i want quiet ride. But some insulation isnt bad thing. Thanks!

OK, finally got tach and installed. You guys are right - at 110kmh (68mph) by GPS rpm-s are ca. 2150. Noise is high but seems that this can be reduced with hood and firewall insulation. And my old BFG KO-s are not quietest tires also. Tried to swap air filter opening to drivers side, as...

Maybe good for old tube radio? :D Lockup is good for reducing heat/slippage.

I do not doubt your words. Lets see, what tach shows when it arrives. To my ear engine rpm´s are too high, bad ears probably. At the same time i located ´91 small Blazer (gas engine, TH700 and 4WD, so NP241?). Cheap, as it is rust bucket. So if needed, i have tranny and transfer case. And...

Thanks! Already sent order email - TinyTach has dealer in France, so should arrive pretty quick. I´d like some day to find tach what fits to cluster... Is this correct one?

Hey, why so grumpy? I am grateful for the suggestions, they are big help and valuable information for me. That i´m not concerned about hills or loads, well this is my problem. Another problem is, that we dont have here partsyards as you have there and to find parts for TH700 swap is almost...

No, i dont have tachometer, rpms measured "by ear" - probably not best way of course. Estonia is flat and ca 50 metres from sea level everywhere so no driving problems. Only two "real" mountains :) And i usually dont carry anything heavy. What i found - without roof truck runs way better, it is...

Thanks, good hint about driveshaft, will measure it tomorrow. If angle will be too big, i probably can use double u-joint shaft, like on my ´74 Cherokee front driveshaft. Will be weaker but this is first thing that come to my mind. :)

Thanks for reply Mike! Yes, i dont assume modern truck feel, just lower rpm on tarmac. If your M1010 have 4.56:1 ratio, then i can probably see with my 3.08:1 rpms close to raceptable 1800ish with 65mph speeds. This is good. On offroad, is OD unit will be safe, i.e. not hanging too low or...

Old topic but still relevant. I have ´86 M1009. All stock, exept 33" tires. Technically fine, some rust on body, nothing serious. It is great in our forest roads etc but from time to time i´d like to drive it on highway. For my liking revs are too high at 110...120kmh (68...75mph) and lets face...
