I missed the TEST DROVE part until TND’s above post. I agree with TND! If you don’t know anything about these trucks and you are driving a truck that is having mechanical issues, you are in for a world of hurt. Learn, read, and don’t purchase unless you have double the money to work on...

That ruin looks great! Is that a stone wall behind it? Congrats on the car show!

Respectfully, I like to start things from the bottom and work up. Have you ensured that you are shifting into first and second and third and fourth gear? Have you insured that you are not stuck in limp mode? Have you ensured the transmission lock up is occurring at highway speed and that the...

Beautiful. One concern whilst you are mocking things up… Respectfully… Hot brake fluid is a setup for disaster. Fluid bubbles, burnt fluid, all not great. That driver side turbo seems too close to the brake lines and the master cylinder IMHO. I’m also wondering about the proximity of the...

Some have tabs, others might describe theirs as grapefruits or palmellos. My condolences.

My ECV has dual voltage my friend. Not sure about your DuraVee.

I have an old Warn winch military edition with all the parts, and I will be putting that on one of my trucks, however I’m honestly considering going with a crappy harbor freight 12,000 pound winch front and back on one of my ECV‘s just to check it out. I am aware that you get what you pay for...

So you found the loose hub nut BEFORE you lost your wheel… and you’re upset that you are all in one piece and not injured?

Have you tried opening the drain plug on the differential and inspecting your fluid? You can also get a $40 Borascope on Amazon and actually look inside at the gears through the drain and the fill portals. EDIT - I posted after RWH. sorry if redundant. Love the idea of sticking brakes.

I just wanna point out that some people will paint their canvas with Behr paint to go from one color to the next. Behr paint being an outdoor paint will also protect the top.

Your MTV camera skills left me dizzy and unable to identify exactly what’s going on. When you use a camera, you need to focus on one area and then move extremely slowly over the next 30 seconds in order to let people see what’s going on. Anything from the air conditioning compressor to a...

The Armada Springs may sag under the weight of the newer frame in the M1123

Get the specific one you need or replace with new Dual voltage 200 Amp alternator regulator with new mounting brackets. You need to re-engineer the mounts to swap to GM alternator, and that takes time AND you will also need a 12V inverter to operate the transmission. In general, being cheap...

Perhaps I misunderstanding you, but you disconnected the batteries and then went to check transmission codes? There would be no power going to the transmission, therefore no codes. You need to disconnect the batteries and then reconnect the batteries and then disconnect the temperature control...
