    700r4 for a 456 geared 1009

    Yes, the 1009 is my daily driver and I drive 100 miles plus per day for work. I am thinking 4.10 gears, that would give me a 2.87 final drive ratio.I normally drive 65mph so my rpms in od would be around 1915 rpms which should give me around 20 mpg.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    It does help to talk to them. But more importantly is to listen to them, I experienced a slight clunk when starting my 1009 yesterday, and based on my experience it meant starter support bracket loosened up, drove it home crawled under it and fixed the problem.I normally check every oil change...
