    SCORE!!! Finally! 1-tons in my CUCV

    Ive only owned my m1008 for about 3 weeks, and this project has changed about 3 times! The original axles are going to be stripped out for a friend of mine. So as of this weekend, it will be a non-ton. I scored a 85' chevy dually with 454 sm465 np205 4x4 for 600$! and it drives! So now this...

    3053a trans to BBC??? all links are broken!

    Ive researched how to do/ where to look for this conversion, but all of the links are broken (I guess its been along time since somebody brought this up). But what is all needed for the BBC/ 3053a combo? Also, are 3053a's worth swapping in a BBC if they cant hold more than 400 ft lbs of...

    14 Bolt in a m1009

    They actually make 6 lug conversion hubs for the ff 14b. I think i saw them for 800. Also motor, the "latest and greatest" 14b is in the 01' and up chevy HD's. They are 11.5" ring gear. Parts haven't caught up to them yet, they are still expensive. I'd still prefer the older ff 14b's. Cost...

    M1008 transmission removal

    I would invest in a new parts store replacement flexplate for 80 bucks, and like mangus says, inspect the converter. Also invest in a tranny jack.

    lookin for upgrades for my 6.2 "84" 1 ton cucv

    10-12 mph is about what they get. You should drill the air can, if the truck has more than average power gains, then your pump is turned up already. My pump was turned up when i got it. Also, when in 2wd high, the truck is a dog. The reduction in the xfer case helps with power in low. Try...

    Banks Turbo - I bit the bullet

    This might interest you. I was thinking of buying a banks kit, now Ive' seen the kit this guy is putting together. Although he has a built 6.2, im reluctant to build that much turbo for my stock motor. Banks is a good choice for a stock 6.2 setup. Cant wait to see what it does to your setup...

    Best Thing You've Found in Your CUCV

    trani probloms

    First check if its in 2wd. When I got my m1008, my friends and i could figure out why it wasnt going into 2nd (or 3rd). It was in 4w-low. After we unstuck the transfer case shifter and put it in 2wd-hi, it shifted fine, then went back to 4wd to see if the hubs worked. I tell you what, at about...

    85' CUCV 1-ton to 1/2 ton diff's

    gears or trans swap

    Ive seen a guy machine a Klune between a t400/205. Pretty sick because you can run even higher gears for highway use! High Impact - Klune-V Extreme Underdrive

    85' CUCV 1-ton to 1/2 ton diff's

    I got the idea from the project CUCV in offroad magazine. I need to find a 60 front because i already have 39.5 tsl's waiting for the truck.
