Mine doesn't chatter because I make sure to put the additive in but its very common on poorly serviced clutchplate LSD's. I used to see lots of Jeeps come in and do the same thing at the dealership. I fluid service with some figure 8's used to do the trick. My M1031 does the same thing with the...

I would guess in this order of probability... -no one has put the correct LSD additive in the front end in quite some time, massive amounts of chatter while turning -bad front ujoints -tcase not shifting out of 4HI due to worn shift fork pads -tcase is not properly shifting out of 4HI due to...

A large quantity of well lit photos doesn't lie. Nor does a nice cold start video. Always be wary of the trucks listed that have 3 well placed images...they usually are hiding a lot of ugly.

I bought my M1031 sight unseen over 1200 miles away. Looking back it was probably a pretty hairy deal that I shouldn't have done but the seller gave me a ton of photos and video so I knew what I was getting into, I was willing to accept that something major like an engine or trans could be DOA...

I have an M1031, never leave home without a plug kit...air compressor...welder...and 12kW generator :)

I would think that if the gauge is made for a pickup generator, then VDO probably has a universal pickup that goes with it. The ones I've seen mount typically on an oil pan bolt and require two magnets to be glued on the balancer.

What kind of failures are you getting? Sixteen years of fourwheeling and I've never killed 2 tires in need of a 3rd. I would almost explore tire repair options so you can do field repairs over trying to carry a 3rd. Desert trucks don't even carry 3 tires. I would think that as long as you...

I typically don't voice my opinion on items that fall down to personal taste but that configuration does nothing for me. The tire blocks the radiator, that is a lot of weight hanging off the frontend for no reason, it is one more thing to drive into an obstacle while fourwheeling, the winch...

Where in NH are you? I'm in Pelham during the week, but I play with my toys up in Sanford, ME during the weekend.

I would HIGHLY suggest not doing a single thing including starting it until you do some serious research and maintenance. Go through the starting, charging, and fuel system before going further. The last thing you want is a starter cracking the block due to loose bolts, a melted wire harness due...

All of this banter is great but to me...who cares. Peek up the skirt for an NP205, jack the front end to look for an LSD. It has them...great! Carry on with life and stop worrying about the digit in the ID number. Unless you are looking for some period correct numbers matching show truck it has...

If you don't plan on wheeling it, the axles are fine if the guy can really work on the price. I would absolutely check the ratios and make sure they match. The M1010 is pretty heavy and making into a camper will make it even worse. Pay very close to your GVW especially with the smaller 3/4 ton...

GM makes a semi floating 14 bolt. Does anyone have a link to the pics? I wouldn't let the electrical ruin it. Not much work to cut the DUVAC out of the factory harness and convert over to 12v if you wanted to make it simple. The bare minimum if it has 1 tons would be $2k...thats the value of...

What's your reasoning behind needing to know? It was pointed out, look for the NP205 tcase if you want a PTO generator. I would also jack the front end up to see if it has the LSD front diff. These were the goodies I wanted.

I will tell you that my set of Eaton springs are of great quality, ride great, and fit perfect. You also get what you pay for as they weren't the cheapest option. Your options for rear springs are very limited. The fronts you should have an easier time with an off the shelf spring but probably...

No problem

65 ft-lbs It's about half way down the page here: http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/60_front/index.html Everything you would ever want to know about the Dana 60.

How is the truck's idle speed? I would imagine if it was on the low side, doing some technical hill descent would tax the engine by being hard on the brakes and steering. When my truck idled too low, it would almost stall just trying to park because I had my foot on the brake and was requesting...

I don't think your solenoid should be cycling on and off numerous times. I personally from what you just said would to install AC 60g's. For the $60 it will cost, you will have a better plug and will know if the plugs where the culprit. Kill two birds with one stone. If it still acts up, I would...

I use the VP Racing cans like these: http://autoplicity.com/1039278-vp-fuel-containers-3512-5-gallon-square-jug-red?1&gclid=CNvr0MLcgssCFQIfhgodHEYONA I'm sure some LEO may bust you for them not being DOT/EPA/blah blah blah approved. Yeah, they work and are cheap. Plus I can have multiple...
