    The M1031 with 5" lift, 12-bolt H1's and no spacers build!

    transmission swaps

    Anyone ever swapped in a ZF S6-650 (from a 2001-2006 GM/Chevy K2500/3500 with the 6.6L Duramax or 1999–2010 Ford Super Duty 250/350/450/550) for the TH400? Any tips? I'm guessing reworked transmission tunnel or a body lift might be needed...

    Recommend a cleaner for CARC paint?

    Eucalyptus oil or teatree oil for sure - and possibly pepermint oil might work. Be sure to work quickly and rinse them off promptly.
