    TR-6060 transmission on a M1010? Anybody done it?

    Interesting you’d want a car transmission in your cucv. Carry on. the nv4500 is pretty great though

    TR-6060 transmission on a M1010? Anybody done it?

    I wonder if the OP meant the TR-4050 which is a solid replacement for the nv4500.

    Are you keeping stock length springs front and rear?

    M1008 NV4500 swap

    If you’ve got a late model with the internal slave you can just use that setup. The AA setup moves it externally if you buy the added bracket, that’s what I have in my m1009. You can also just use it with mechanical linkage like a standard square body but I have no done it personally.

    My turbo 6.2 is fine in Colorado.

    Converting my M1008 to 12v with a 454/ ended up going 5.3 LS with 4l80

    And how’s it driving? I assume much more usable power

    Turbo Options 6.2

    I can say this was not my experience in any way. I maybe have $1000 in my setup and that’s with changing things over time and ultimately buying an hx35 adapter kit and aftermarket intake manifold a few years ago. There are plenty of write ups on here to guide people. I also built mine in a...

    Turbo Options 6.2

    My hx35 whistles quite a bit.

    Never thought I'd be posting about a turbo

    I went from sagging oem to poly and it’s for sure smoother and less vibration. That’s my opinion though, results may vary.

    Brake upgrade options

    I haven’t driven it with them yet but I had an 07 Sierra with them and they were great. I can’t stand the single piston d60 ones. I also had the calipers already, bought Yukon brand hubs and turned them down on a manual lathe and then the rotors just slip right over.

    Brake upgrade options

    There’s a company that allows you to put modern 2500 brakes or dodge brakes on a Dana 60. I’ve got the 2500 setup with slip on rotors

    Never thought I'd be posting about a turbo

    Poly motor mounts really opens the space up and they feel much better than collapsed rubber

    Never thought I'd be posting about a turbo

    yep, 6.5 drivers won't fit. I just cut and modified the aftermarket crossover to work with my 6.2 manifold. The downpipe is hard, there's barely enough room between the manifold and frame rail IF you have good motor mounts. Running outside the frame is not ideal but is the path of least resistance.

    I'm T'd off the driver side where the pressure sensor is. Has been fine for many many years.

    Never thought I'd be posting about a turbo

    The 6.5 downpipe will not work on a square body, it will have to be custom, you can snake it thru between the block and frame rail and having good motor mounts makes a big difference. You can also run it outside of the frame but it doesnt leave a lot of room for a muffler or to get it to the...

    tuff country kit for M1009t

    I'm running tuff country HD front springs and a shackle flip in the rear with extended shackles. I had to put an add a leaf in the back due to sagging stock springs. I wouldn't hesitate to get tuff country rear springs either (skip the block). I bought a set of extended braided brake lines...

    ARB Snorkel Warning!

    Cool is subjective for sure. I can tell your preference I’m guessing haha I’d much rather spend the money on a quality filter like an AEM, amsoil or even airaid dry flow filter.

    ARB Snorkel Warning!

    Or don't put one on at all because I've literally never seen a cucv up to the roof in water......

    6.2 and 6.5 engine questions

    I haven’t actually tried myself on the drivers side but I swear I saw pictures of a 6.5 drivers manifold basically pointing right at the frame rail on a square body. Guess I’m wrong then if you’ve actually done it.
