    Why would you advance the IP?

    Yeah it is a bit high priced but there don’t seem to be a lot of options out there. I didn’t install the box it came with, just the tube/filter. I may look at trying to fit the filter box in to ideally keep the filter a little cleaner and prevent it from picking up dirty air from below the...

    Why would you advance the IP?

    That is correct, it'll need to be before the turbo. I have an S&B intake which made connecting the CDR easy, but maybe you could get a short piece of tubing to extend it forward an inch or 2, and then drill a hole in the tubing and add a grommet and adapt from there.

    Aftermarket Radiator Questions- Cap with Deeper Neck

    The saga continues…. I noticed lately that my coolant temps seem to rise more than normal. Still at light load stay around 195-197 but once it’s working hard rise pretty quickly to 210. I did a decent amount of work with it last summer in hotter weather and it never got past 205. So I suspected...

    Why would you advance the IP?

    Actually you can change it with everything together. Especially since you'll have the new gasket in with the new IP. Just loosen the 3 mounting bolts a little and you can rotate it in either direction and then tighten back up.

    Why would you advance the IP?

    I believe you said your mileage was pretty terrible right? I feel like these motors are forgiving with timing so it still could've been off and caused your mileage to be poor. Personally I'd revert back to the factory marks with the new pump and go from there.

    The Mule Rides Again

    I went with a Dorman fuel tank and it was fine so I wouldn't bother trying to reuse the current one. Who makes a 31 gallon tank?

    Aftermarket Radiator Questions- Cap with Deeper Neck

    I'm not any closer to answering my original questions but i've fixed the leaking cap. Essentially the Harbor Freight pressure tester bottomed out (due to the longer radiator neck) and there are 2 screws on the inside of the adapter. Those screw heads contacted the radiator neck flange and put...

    CUCV M1008 Build

    Thanks! I'm not sure if removing the load sensing valve would help the lock up. The valve is supposed to reduce the pressure so if you're already getting too much removing it probably wouldn't make a difference. The valve could be set up improperly but I'm not sure of a good way to check...

    Dark Seas M1008 Project

    Are you missing the original battery trays? Hillbilly Wizard sells replacement ones if so and they come with the hold-downs as well. Replacement fender liners are still the same shape as original so the battery trays will fit fine. All you'll have to do is drill a couple new holes in the...

    Fuse/Relay Block Recommendations

    To bring this to conclusion, I ended up installing the painless performance fuse block I linked above. Overall I was happy with the quality but the mounting setup doesn’t seem to make sense. With the wires coming out the back with the screw tabs they have it would smush them way too much. So...

    Aftermarket Radiator Questions- Cap with Deeper Neck

    Thanks, if at all possible I am trying not to get a new radiator as mine is 1 year old but it is always good to have a backup plan. It looks like the champion radiators don't have the transmission cooler though? It says they do but at least from the picture it shows the ports only on the right...

    Aftermarket Radiator Questions- Cap with Deeper Neck

    Well sadly the story gets even worse now. Somehow the pressure tester must’ve screwed up the fill neck on the radiator so now I’m leaking antifreeze past the cap each time I shut the motor off when it’s up to temp. The cap itself doesn’t seem damaged so I’m guessing it’s with the neck itself...

    Aftermarket Radiator Questions- Cap with Deeper Neck

    I purchased/installed an aluminum Liland Global 850AA3R radiator from rock auto last year for my M1008. I noticed yesterday that the depth of the filler neck on the radiator cap is more than the OEM radiator. I believe OEM is .75", I haven't measured this yet to be exact but it is probably...

    Did you have success with the repair? How did the MLS gaskets work?
