I have never used the trans-x. GM sells a little black bottle of posi fluid that works great. If you can find the dana spicer green fluid, it is the best. We used DS to help trac locks that were getting loose. It seemed to coat the clutches and help them grip noticeably better.

"Everything I have read on the CJ10 says the 70 has a GovLock. Two of the four I have had were open differential 70s. The last two have some sort of locker in them but I have not been inside. One spins like a limited slip, the other acts open like a GovLock but locks up with wheel spin. I...

I like the billstien 5100 series shocks. I have used them on fullsize trucks and liked the ride quality.

The dana 70 did not come with a gov lock. Those were made by eaton for GM axles. The 70s should be detroits.

I am too cheap to buy the vinyl paint. I use flat black house brand stuff. I have never had a problem with peeling or flaking on the dash or door panels. I used gloss on a dash once. big mistake once the sun came out! Travis

Really cheap? Weld the spider gears. Maybe a used posi from ebay and some new clutches.

I bought the dana 70 rear axle out of a dually 1028 a few years ago and it had a full case detroit locker in it. Someone might have gotten tired of chirping tires and swapped in an open diff.

the 1101 and 1102 are the exact same trailer. the 1101 has a lighter paypoad rating because it was meant to be towed behind the lighter humvees. Travis

Superlift 058-2 is a 5 inch flat block. Is this lift on a 1009? Did you drop the xfer case? Travis

I bought a Load handler Cargo Unloader from northern tool last month. Load Handler Cargo Unloader — 3000-Lb. Capacity, Commercial Grade | Lift Gates + Dump Kits | Northern Tool + Equipment I finally used it today hauling mulch for the kids' playground. I only had 2 yards of mulch in...

I just bolted on my 37 goodyears on Trail Worthy Fab recentered humvee wheels (awesome!!!!) and went for a spin with my Tomtom to check the speedo. I am only 3 MPH faster than the needle at 45. How far under was I before with the little 235/85s? Has anyone run a GPS to verify the speedo in...

yes it can. I have a st85 in my 1009. Travis

Swapping axles from a K20 is an easy bet. I did the swap into my 73 K5. I ran 38 swampers with the 4.10 gears. i did pop a few locking hubs, but they were the older external setup. I just kept spares in the glovebox. I know it is not as strong as a D60, but the whole truck was 500 bucks...

Installed new door seals, carpet, and insulation from LMC. Looking good now!

Power service Diesel kleen in the silver bottle.

I pulled 3 swollen glowplugs out today. All were autolite 110s and had swollen to almost twice their size at the tip. they came out through the injector hole. Then I bought new clips for the return hoses as I had created a new fuel leak. I will not miss this one when it leaves next week...

Is anyone running a Warn 24V winch on their 1008/09? I was thinking of getting one off of ebay to stick on the 1008 for cool factor and for yanking things around the yard. Travis

The bushings are extra wide to make up for the springs.

I saw one of the LSSV ambulances in Kennesaw yesterday at the military vehicle show. Very cool looking, but I like the CUCV style better. Olive drab on a newer model truck looks wierd. Travis

The K420 kit is the one you want. I have the 6 inch kit in the bed of my 1008 and will throw it on saturday. I have used their 4,8,and 10 inch kits before and love them. Depending on how firm your rear spring is, you might want to add a small add-a-leaf with the block. My last blazer had the...
