Well that seems kinda shady. I don't know if I could buy a $3000 anything that the manufacturer won't supply parts/support for. Everything wears out or breaks eventually.

Hmm....that sounds interesting. I had no idea such a thing existed. I'm definitely going to check that out. Thanks!

Well, maybe so but not for long. It's been my experience that with any hard use they need rebuilt every few years. I drove a 87 1/2 ton 4x4 on 38s for 10yr & had to rebuild the 700 in that truck twice. My current daily driver is a 89 c1500. I've had if for 7yr now & I'm on trans number 3. I...

How long have you been running your GV unit? Approximate milage?

I would like to stay manual but I'm not dead set on it. I played with a couple rpm calculators & at 60mph there's only about 80 rpm difference between the .75 4L80 & the .78 SM465/GV. Going by the ratios the 700r4 looks good but that seems like introducing a weak link to me. I'm sure there's...

10-4. To clarify I had no intention of trying to use the OD unit while in 4wd. I'm not sure why you would even want to. I was just wondering if all that extra meat behind the T-case would weaken the driveline.

Sm465 w/Gear Vendors OD

Nv4500

Sm465

My m1028 has a SM465/np205 & I've been wanting to do a NV4500 swap for the 5th gear because 3k at 60mph sucks bad. Then I started looking at putting a Gear Vendors OD on the set-up I already have. The only way I'd go nv4500 is if I can find an early one because I'm not willing to loose my...

Thanks. I'll give that a shot.

I sure wish they would have used bolts. Looks to be welded to the floor. Either way it's got go before I can spray the floor

Maybe. Seem like a horrible place to mount anything. Right where the passengers feet would be.

I pulled the carpet that came in my truck out today & threw it away. Every time it rains the carpet next to the kick panels is wet on both sides & I've worried about it rusting my floor. I figured I'd have the floor sprayed in Rhino-liner or the likes. I was surprised to find a big bracket in my...

Thank you sir.

Yep. I knew better but got suckered in by a cheap price. Got what I deserved too. Since you mentioned it do you have a good source for quality rebuild parts for starters/alternators? Or a good rebuilder?

Watching the above video I noticed my glow plug relay is wired opposite of his. My pink, key on 12v wire is on the bottom terminal & the blue, ground is on the top. It's working they way it is. Does it matter which way it's wired?

Ok. Thanks. I was really wondering what was going on there. I'm still not sure I understand how that works but at least now I know to unhook both sides.

Well I believe the truck is fixed. Only thing I can figure is it had 2 problems, one hiding the other. Let me try to explain how this whole deal played out. When all this started I had a fairly new DB electrical starter on the truck & a new old stock CME Arma starter on the shelf. When the...

I put a DB electrical starter on my 1028. It lasted less than a year on a truck that dosen't get driven every day, or even every week. I'd stay away.
