    Automatic only Crankshaft Journal

    Well, I'm still gonna check to see for sure before I financially commit to another truck and the swap. But I still for the life of me can't imagine these truck not being machined for a pilot bearing.

    Automatic only Crankshaft Journal

    A few decent civilian parts trucks are about to become available to me and I want to do a NP465/np208 or A883/np208 swap in my M1008. However I keep hearing that during this period some trucks came from GM with automatic only crankshafts. To do a manual swap on one of those would require a new...

    4wd Question

    I'm willing to bet that the splines on your front driveshaft might be worn out. I had a 88 fullsize Jimmy that this hapened to. If the dust seal fails and you don;t lube the driveshaft regularly they wera thesplines out fast. If I held it in my hand it felt good, put a pipe wrench on it and try...

    Hmmwv beadlocks on m1008

    Thats pretty much what I do now. I have a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/75/16's on the stock wheels. I use them until I know I'm going 4 wheeiling somewhere or if I'm going to a rally or show I throw the beadlocks back on. Don't be scared to use the 36's They are a good inexpensive large...

    Glow plug connectors?

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I can be. But shouldn't the wellman G070's be 24 volt as well. Which is why you can't use Ac Delco 60G's or other civilian glow plugs unless you convert to a 12 volt electric system?

    Hmmwv beadlocks on m1008

    I used Tuff country HD spring up front. Couldn't give you a part number, I got them from Off Road Design. Right now I have lift blocks and a zero rate in the back. After I fix my floors I'm goona remove the blocks and do a shackle flip in the back. With the 36's you pick up about 5 mph. So I...

    My stereo setup (Kind of ugly, but works)

    unscrew the bolts above the glove box (@3 or 4), remove the trim panel around the gauges maybe 6 screw or so and it should pop right out.

    Hmmwv beadlocks on m1008

    4 inch lift, 2 inch wheel spacers no fender trimming. hard offroading they rub. @ 6k miles no issues. Use your brain when buying and installing them, don't be lazy and check them once in awhile. You'll have no issues

    2010 Haspin rally BS thread

    wach out the "US NAVY For official use only". Of all people homeland security pulled me over one day driving home for work one day because from whatever rediculous angle he saw me from while I was doing 50 mph no less he could read the "US Army for official use only" that had already been...

    2010 Haspin rally BS thread

    Hope to make a return trip to Haspin for 2010. This year was alot of fun. Hopefully someone decides on a firm date in the somewhat near future. One of the unfortunate pitfalls to working for the city is I have to pick my vacation almost a year in advance and I can't change it once I pick it.

    Trouble getting access to broken starter bolt

    Yeah, with mine. I just dimpled it with a punch, then used a pick and just spun the broken piece out. Just a note though, mine broke with the brace on. Although I suspect it was due to it being a tad loose.
