    M1031 build thread

    If you download the TM for the generator head, it is a pretty standard 12 lead triple phase head. You can reconfigure the leads to be in a delta or wye configuration and also single and triple phase along with voltage. From what I understand, if you convert to single phase, you lose about 1/3 of...

    M1031 build thread

    The PTO is in great shape. I'm very happy I didn't come in to the shop this morning to a huge puddle of ATF. Looks nice and dry today...yay! I think as far as the generator goes, I need to first tighten the drivebelt. I have confirmed that the outlet does generate power when plugging in a...

    M1031 build thread

    Already beat you to that one. I ordered up some nice new zinc door locks from RockAuto the first week I had the truck. The locks keep the honest people honest. The 9mm or 12ga. under my bed keep the thiefs from being thiefs:shock:

    M1031 build thread

    My PTO drive was leaking a decent amount of fluid so I did some investigating. It was dripping from a plug that has a slot for a screwdriver. I thought maybe it was loose so I turned it with a flat head. That pretty opened the flood gate. I removed the PTO and it turns out that is a shift shaft...

    TreadWright Tires - Anyone run them here?

    I have run numerous sets of Treadwrights on my rigs over the years and will always question buying new tires. I currently run a set of 31" guard dogs on my 4Runner. You can see what they look like here: 95' 4Runner 5VZ IFS build - Page 4 - Pirate4x4.Com I have a student running them on his...

    M1031 build thread

    So the replacement CUCV Electric starter relay isn't any better than the junk stock one? It has an extra terminal so I figured it was a revised part. I remember reading that the newer CUCV's do not need a doghead mod. I can always go spend the big money at NAPA for the other style solenoid. DOH!!!

    M1031 build thread

    After installing my lift, I noticed a small sag to the driver's side. So I ordered up a set of new 8+1 stock rear springs from Eaton Springs. I also ordered up a rear U-bolt flip kit and HD shackles from ORD. Since it was on the lift, I finished changing out all of the fluids, cleaned my...

    Sweet rig Jets1959, I appreciate the info on the oil cap. I picked one up on RockAuto.com:beer:

    Need new stock rear springs

    This is more than a bushing issue, was a 2+" lean. Just ordered a set from Eaton, in stock and ready to rock. I also ordered a set of super shackles and a u-bolt flip kit from ORD.

    Need new stock rear springs

    I just lifted my M1031 with 4" front springs and a rear shackle flip. The truck still sags a bit on the driver side. I need a new set of non-lifted rear springs. I can't seem to find any forum feedback on what's out there. Seems like the only two are John R. Spring and Dayton. Anyone running...

    M1028 Small Lift Build

    I called Denise at ORD and he was very knowledgeable when it came to MV Chevys. He answered all of my questions regarding my M1031 with regards to the rear overload leaf setup and why I was better off using a shackle flip because of my particular usage. He also mentioned he personally owns a...

    Could this be a transmission filter clog?

    After ruling out vacuum and fluid condition/level issues, it sounds like you have delayed engagement which is classic worn transmission. If the above check out OK, I would probably go onto a pressure test and stall test to determine if it's a hydraulic pressure issue or if the clutches are...

    New Dash, Where To Order From?

    I haven't read any good reviews of the OAR dash which is also sold by Dashes Direct. I am going to look more into the LMC Truck dash which is about $350. Let us know how you make out...

    M1009 or regular blazer?

    I think all Civy Blazers of that era with a 6.2 diesel should have a 700r4 not a th400. If someone ordered a half ton vehicle, I think it should of had a th350, not the th400.

    M1008, a whole new dog

    I'm pretty sure the carrier split on a D60 is 4:10/4.56 meaning you will need a new carrier for those gears. Good opportunity for a traction aiding differential.

    Blazer front axle seals replaced...oh my

    Good call! Invest in some quality made ones (like genuine Dana/Spicer if you can find them) and not some cheapos.
