    M1008 Hanging Low (not in a good way)!

    Depends. How much money do you want to throw at it? If you are cheap just move the current springs. If you are looking for better performance and are planning on building the truck anyway then I say go for new. Don't forget neoprene bushings if you are switching your old springs it's cheap insurance

    Expedition truck...

    Well if you are not going in to the really cold areas you could look at putting a pop up type camper on the back of a deuce or five ton. They wouldn't weigh a lot more than the bed and they can compress down to be the same height as the cab. Then you have the space underneath for storage or any...

    Alternate cold starting system to aid GP system

    There is a great system made by Clarol. You plug it in (110v) turn it to hot and shove the nozzle into your cold air intake on the air intake then start the truck. It also works great for blow drying your hair.:lol: It's an old pilot trick to start aircraft engines:grd:

    The only concern with propane is head pressure and overtemp so put in a pyro before you add propane lest you melt or blow up your engine.

    Black Ice Driving - Atlanta area

    Having lived in Atlanta for half my life and now living in NC I feel that I have great perspective on the question. 1. Drivers in Atlanta have a problem even driving in the rain. 2. Most Atlanta metro drivers think the speed limit going through town is 85-90 3. Unpredictable ice will wreak...

    1009 mystery issue

    Replace the rubber fuel lines and the fuel filter. Many of us just converted to a spin on fuel filter as you can prefill them so you don't kill you batteries trying to start it. Others here have practiced the wisdom of : if it's electrical clean it if it's rubber replace it and I can agree. Many...

    m1009 life expectancy

    I had a discussion about that a few months ago when my nephew wanted a Fiero. I said how many do you see on the street....how many for sale on Ebay? out of those how many run? The answer very few. I said do you think there is a reason there aren't any around now???? Well built cars tend to stick...

    m1008 diesel to gas conversion

    PVC and a reducer between hoses? so If you have a 1" to a 1 and 1/2 " gt a 1 to 1and 1/2 rubber reducer from Lowes or Home Depot use metal pipe or PVC to make the connection with pipe clamps. Or you could just get the correct sized radiator neck put on your current radiator at any radiator shop.

    1009 mystery issue

    Mine had developed a hot start problem and I had to do that a few times and yes I used either too but at least I have the cold air duct in the front so it isn't quite as big a hit as if you sprayed it into the intake directly. The rag works great though (just don't let it get sucked into the...

    1009 mystery issue

    A gas soaked (wrung out so you get vapor only) rag works too and less of a hit than either.

    WVO Blending

    Centrifuges get rid of anything heavier than oil (to a point) I always heat the oil then drain any water or sludge off the bottom of my heated barrel before I centrifuge the oil. This removes a lot of the problem areas prior to the centrifuge. Now as far as cold weather mix I always run 50/50 in...
