over time it will break down the rubber in the fuel system. If you replace the hoses with Viton or similar and keep a spare filter on board it would be fine. Theres an alternative fuel section on this site that would yield more info

Thats what I was thinking. Might have to stick with the stock tires or put a turbo on it and see what happens.

Well I'm not going to be towing, off-roading, or sled pulling at 70. Will it "cruise" ok without cycling in and out of overdrive everytime i hit an incline? It does great with the stock tire size but I'm considering a lift and tires.

Anyone run 37's with a 700r4? With the 4.56 the gear ratio calculator says 2000rpm at 70mph. Will that be resonable or to low?

Its not changing the filter that does it. Its changing the fluid. If it was serviced regularly during its life it would be fine but most don't change the trans fluid regularly and it causes issues when it is done late in the transmissions life. It all depends on how "dirty" the old fluid was...

Double check your filter and if your work checks out its time to take it to a shop. A flush won't help any of the conditions that you have described.

try the rest of the gears, not just D and R. Sometimes if the old fluid was burnt or full of clutch material the new fluid will cause the trans to fail. If no gears work at all suspect the torque converter or pump.

use a baster or mityvac and suck as much as possible out of the mastercylinder. Then fill it back up and bleed till it all runs out clear.

I put one on my m1008 and had to cut part of the shackle mounts off and drill/slot a couple of the holes for the bolts.

It doesn't sound like a tv issue to me. It sounds like an internal issue like skinny is saying. Something is letting pressure by or not letting fluid by as quick as it is supposed to.

What do you mean by delay? Does it stay in second to long? Does it free rev? Does it "slip"? Do you have the right governor and tc? The tv adjustment is made by pushing in the D shaped retainer and pushing the adjuster all the way in. Then put the fuel pedal to the floor and it adjusts...

Any reputable diesel shop should be able to help you out. Locally they want about 600 to rebuild them. There is a guy on flea-bay that does them for 270 plus core. He has come highly recommended on some other boards for good work and prices. Although I don't think he replaces "everything" like...

I daily drove my m1008 for a couple of years and all I had to do was basic maintenance. Then the injector pump took a poop. Parked it for the better months and now that the colds coming back around I found a whole 6.2 700r and transfer case for 500 buck. So do some swapping around and back down...

I got one from oreillys, worked for both. If i remember right it was only $25. Just have to read the package and get the right one for the right year truck/axle
