Just got a '86 M1008 and the truck is fine. Everything works and only had a few small issues so far. My question is: What is the gear ratio in axles of the M1009's?I saw somewhere they may be 3.08's. I may have chose the wrong vehicle for what I've found that I need (kids actually want to ride in the" big green machine"). A 1008 with its 4.56 gears don't like 60+mph's I don't think. Would 1008 axles with higher highway speed gear ratios (swapped in) bolt up in a 1009 without big issues? I would be willing to sell the 1008 or make a trade for a equal value(condition) 1009. Thanks
