In my opinion, not drivable! If it chunks up more pieces and locks up rear whilst driving........ Says the old man! Forty years ago I would have said drive on!
70 mph is roundabout 2200 rpm with 3.08s. "Back in the day" we ran over the road with CUCV's, 80 mph plus is not a real comfortable or safe speed with the Blazers! BTDT allot!
700r4 is going to spend allot of normal use in 3rd gear, really negating the cost of a swap! Stick with what you've...
Have had some "limited" success in the past with changing out many years old fluid! Turkey baster or suction out old fluid, put in new. Problem with systems that don't leak is fluid never gets replenished! May not help, but for the cost involved it's worth a try! Also have seen return lines...
In the civilian world bead sealing area gets cleaned them some bead sealer is applied to the rim before tire mounted. I had moved out of Mnt by the time we got HMMWV's, so never had the pleasure!
If ever any questions as to part numbers look up in the -20 or -34 TM's. That will give you the GM part number and then a quick google search will get you some aftermarket or whatever part numbers. The military technical manuals are a little wonky, but spend some time in them and they'll make sense!
George,
Another retired NYARNG soldier here who also started out as a 63B (OMS7) when it also included power generators! Then moved on to 92Y (AGR) and eventually ended my career (retirement) in Latham in the POTO shop.
Despite all that.....
Would think there's a exhaust shop in the Albany...
wwrd: Another somewhat local option for springs is ATS which is just north of Philly (Souderton). I've used them for years, good product, very knowledge and orders were always shipped and received within a day or two!
I'm not sold on the LS, though recognize gains. My 1008 has a rebuilt gen 1 SBC. Mild cam, intake, headers. Work truck..... Hei needs one hot wire, no electronics other than that! (well, does have elec choke, so that's two wires!) Very simple
It's a nut and bolt restoration " work truck". Used...
I also have a issue with my headlight switch.... Been restoring this truck for 2+ years now and mostly done excepting the bed! Pulled truck in prior to plow hook-up and whilst going over determined headlights not working! Turns out the new headlight switch is crap!
While everything was...
I'm doing the same here...sell it all so it gets used and not thrown away. When my dad passed (great depression survivor and hoarder) we sold tons of stuff. Pennies on the dollar, but I felt better that stuff was going to a new home. In some cases of tools and woodworking equipment, brand new...
When we used to run these over the road at high speed (when almost new) these ALWAYS leaked a little oil. And, seemed like the faster you went the more they leaked! Maintenance section used to get pretty pissed seeing the puddles!
Yes, it's the main seal! Is it critical? Probably not unless you...
welder guy: FYI, if you check FB Mkt or craigslist there's a guy across the river from Kingston that parts CUCVs. I've gotten stuff from him in the past!

No experience with that particular kit, but plenty of experience at work with kits in general. Usually they don't fit well and you end up rebending and or fighting with them. Stainless comes in all different "flavors"! I've replaced stainless lines and stainless exhaust that didn't last as...
Probably showing my age here but..... Used to put cardboard on the floors in the deuces and five tons in the wintertime as your feet would freeze with out it! Feet direct to cold metal never worked so well! CUCV's weren't much better! (And the earlier jeeps were brutal!)
M1008 now has 3m sound...
Have seen these several times on SS member rides... I Currently have steel factory wheels that would need media blasted and painted for my "nut and bolt restoration". Dont care about originality as this is a SBC powered, somewhat modified and restored work truck. Running 285 75 16's which are...
