The M1031 with 5" lift, 12-bolt H1's and no spacers build!

not to hijack but whats the difference between the agr 2wd box and a napa repacement for a m1028?

The stock 4 wheel drive box is a push-pull type in that the "swing" of the arm goes front to back. The 2 wheel drive box swings side to side for crossover steering.

You can also change the sector shaft on the 4wd box to 2wd.

The ports are for hydraulic assist. I bought mine from ORD, link here . . . PSC Hydraulic Assist Steering Systems from Offroad Design

 

[Cucvnut]

I had mine ported Local. If you want to Do Hydro assist I have part numbers that are much cheaper than 1400 ORD wants.

What about getting some 73 pattern quarter panels (with the verticle lights) ?

I've got another set of uncut fenders. If later on I decide I want to do something different I'll try modifying them.

 

[EODTECH90]

i get it so basically the assist being what we have on our trucks- the hydro assist.... i know i sound like an idiot

 

[Cucvnut]

yes you tap in to the Power steering system. when you have big tires it helps steer them and helps when wheeling.

 

[EODTECH90]

got it, thanks for the patience

 

[Cucvnut]

No problem. I love to help and ill try to answer any questions you have.

I scanned your thread here and it looks very impressive to say the least, if I missed this I apologize.

But I hope you guys are upgradeing (beefing up the frame) at the steering box. The R/V series trucks are notorious from breaking the frame there.

 

[Cucvnut]

the 1 ton trucks are stronger than the k10-k5-k20 frames.

 

[EODTECH90]

can you explain this "super power steering"

 

[big block 88]

the 1 ton trucks are stronger than the k10-k5-k20 frames.

I understand that but I still do NOT trust them, I have broke 2 on personal trucks with moderate offroading I can only imagine what beating on it would do over time with oversized tires.

Could have been luck I suppose but I find that hard to believe.

Surely ORU will have knowledge of this issue or non-issue.

 

[Cucvnut]

do you run hydro assist? It takes stress off the frame.

broken K30 at steering box

HOLY **** DUDE IM ORDERING ALL THE BRACE STUFF ASAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cucvnut]

Ok so when you don't have hydro assist, you turn the wheels and the stress goes to the steering box. with hydro assist you don't have as much force going to the steering box as you do on a non hydro assist truck. The hydro helps turn the wheels with less stress and puts less stress on the frame by using hydro force.

I see a stock truck wheeled to hard.
