    Spare Tire Recovery?

    What i have done in the past is. Stand the flat up. Roll it to the middle of the two rear tires then roll it up on top of the rear tires. Then twist the tire tward the cab and roll it up onto the deck plate. then twist back and forth untill you get back into the holder. This is NOT EASY. Also...

    Injector Fouling cure

    YES! a bad injector can cause this. When it squirts a stream, instead of a spray. Fuel will "puddle" in the prechamber instead if entering the cylinder. When it ignites you have a small fire on the glow plug tip. After time you will distort and melt the glow plug tips. I know you have heard this...

    M1009 Rear Differential Yoke

    Some parts between the ten bolts are interchangable. But not much. Yes the covers are a different shape. But things like bearings and seals are interchangable. The ten bolt front axle and the dana front axle share the same wheel bearings, and brake rotors, and brake pads. But not much more. The...

    M1009 Rear Differential Yoke

    Panama, The last year GM installed a DANA 44 in the front of a 1/2 ton turck or blazer was 1976. You have a GM 10 bolt 8.5 inch ring gear axle in both ends. The tell tail sign is the two metal tabs or ears at the bottom of the diff casting. These ear were used for clamping the housing in a jig...

    Hissing sound, trans related?

    Are you hearing this sound at about 50 to 60 MPH? With a light throttle? Is the tranny shifting normally? I have heard a similar sound with many of my GM vehicles since i was a teenager. I've heard it with TH350 trannys and TH400's i have owned. But never had a problem. But more throttle or a...

    M1009 Rear Differential Yoke

    Don't pull the rear shaft. The transfercase will spew it's oil everywhere. If you need the truck. Take the yoke from the front axle and put it on the rear. They are both GM 10 bolt axles.

    Hard Starting M35A2

    Yes turn up the fuel rate. It's starving for fuel at idle. I'm assuming all your fuel filters are clean and the pickup screen in the fuel tank is clean?

    4l80E conversion controller questions

    Do a google search for manual 4L80E. I was looking into this about 6 months ago and found a company who makes a manual valve body for the 4L80E. You will have no need for a controller with it.

    m1008 fuel sender

    Yea the whole sending unit is around $75. But the replacement sock for the pickup is about $18. If your sock is clogged and not broken run some carb cleaner through it. The brass cleans up pretty well.

    6.2 turbo exhaust questions .

    How you route it depends on what turbo you are using. If you are using a Banks then you can run between the engine and frame. Mine runs between the transfercase and the bottom of the cab. Rember to wrap the pipe with header wrap. This keeps wires and fuel line from being melted. And keeps the...

    axle vent modification

    I too have done this to my M35. The one way vents never seem to seal. It really saves you some cash not having to change gear oil after fording. I ran the vents up to the air cleaner housing. Because i have the deep water fording kit so i wanted to be able to go deeper than the dash. It...

    Took my truck to the Truck and Tractor pull

    Turn up the fuel rate and try it again! I'd bet you would get a full pull. Nice vid. Nothing like the sound of a multi working.

    is there a difference in tire flaps?

    The flaps for 9.00, 10.00 commercial , and 11.00's are the same. I buy these from a truck tire dealer here in houston. And have used them in both my M35 and M52's tires with no problems. The 14.00's are wider and will not work. I have hever dealt with 395's so i can't help you with that one.
