I tried coffee filters, it takes forever to drain through with just gravity. A cheap way is to go to your local farm store, get a hand pump, some fuel filters (one a water separator) and pump it together. Pump it out of your drum through a filter and into your tank!

I just put the 6.5 turbo set up on a rebuild J code 6.2 and the engine is going in my 1998 Suburban, I wish you would have asked...but the 6.5 injectors are a little bit shorter than 6.2's and that is how they clear the exhaust manifold. Instead of doing grinding you could have upgraded to the...

My burb is a 98 k2500, 200,000 miles; but near perfect body and interior...just the #8 cyclindar wall was cracked. For now a rebuilt J code 6.2 is going into the truck. Some day, the truck will get a Cummins and a straight axle in the front (if I don't get distracted with some other...

There you go the right answer! I was right in some way though, 93 and newer are all IFS! When your IFS goes bad next time get a straight axle if you want.

The m1009 has 1/2 ton axles with 3.08 gears...the other CUCV's have 1 1/4 ton axles, but they are 4.56 gears. You don't get places fast with 4.56 gears. I think 93 and newer 1 tons have the IFS. See, we are the exact opposite! I want to put a straight axle in the front of my suburban! I...

CUCV parts won't get you anywhere fast...the axles are 4.56 gears or the blazers have 3.08, but they are basically the same axles on your truck that you broke. Make things simple, I'd get a donor vehicle...a 1 ton dully 4x4 from 93 or after and put those axles under your suburban. You can...

Riptide, your biggest problem is having 1/2 ton GM axles with 33" mud tires, that is why you are destroying your rear end. You will need a GM 14 bolt full floater, best bet is to buy a non-running 4x4 1 ton chevy and put the suspension from that under it or go get a non-running 6.5 TD k2500...

Also, are you looking to build up a truck to look like a hummer or for a truck with creature comforts that performs well off road...or what? If you are looking for an offroad truck don't start with a 1/2 ton suburban, you'll be buying parts like crazy. And if you modify the suburban to sor to...

Built mine with 2/0 welding cable, made it 25' and it is nice and lightweight. It will work with a 5 ton and a deuce parked nose to nose, a 20 footer definately would not. I could have went longer as the guy was selling it off a huge roll, but I only have enough $ at the time for 50'

my hemtt stems seem to be working out just fine, so are mikes. I've heard of trouble when people try to use commercial stems in the large hemmtt wheel hole.

I got mine from headwizard, but there is another guy selling them in the classfieds too. Also, look on ebay. I know of at least one person that welded the hole shut and redrilled them for more common (hence cheaper) commercial truck valve stems.

You are welcome to disagree dozer! I have probably seen every episode too and he actually knows things about shoes and electronics and probably lots of other things; but everyone knows "reality" TV is still all scripted and Chum is playing a character. Like I said, in my opinion if Chumlee...

The Pawn shop guys make a lot of people mad because they reveal their stuff is fake, and Chumlee is very smart...his "character" on the show is stupid. If you watch that show enough you will see that Rick and the Old Man want to make money and they wouldn't keep Chum as an employee if he didn't...

The Cummins engine isn't necessarily bad...but the Dodge suspension and steering colum where awful! A fully restored command car with a modern Cummins engine would be worth a lot I'm sure, this thing however isn't worth that much. I'd actually rather have a CUCV with a cummins over that.

Did anyone ever figure this question out? How many would fit on with just removing the racks and putting them on like a domino? I would like to purchase some of the 3/4 ton trailers, put it isn't worth it to drive really far away to only get 1!

Everything looked to be sitting on a Dodge frame and it even had a modern Dodge steering wheel! I understand that people build "replicas" because actual vehicles are cost prohibative, but this was a hack job. The seller might be able to get some unsuspecting person (who hasn't seen the...

I bet you could find an S-280 in that price range, or even an aluminum body for a box truck. Actually, I've seen whole trucks go for under $2,000...get the box and scrap the chassis.

My speedo last night said 50mph and the rpm's said 2200, but with 46" tires I'd say I was going right around 60 or so.

Flame = ripping on someone's ideas or a post you make, i.e. "that is stupid to put 1 ton axles underneat a m1009"...as far as I'm concerned you can do whatever you want, we just want to see the pics! I believe Troutt got 30+mpg with 3.08 gears; I think if you want to do substantial mudding you...

As stated above it all depends on axle gearing, tire size, weight of the vehicle, and the way you drive. I think a 4bt is a good choice for a blazer. With that being said if you are planning on doing all the work of swapping in one ton axles you can probably regear them then. If I was...
