    M1009 and 5.9 mpgs

    Ok, well to most people members of the frame that are rivited to the "frame rails" are "the frame". As far as the dodge bell on the gm 4x4 4500 makes a long trans (i will measure one tomarrow) I may be wrong though. Edit: looks like the bells are witin an inch of each other, I was wrong. The I/C...

    You are missing the spring and ball bearing. If you look where that lil hole is there is a deep hole where these fit.

    Do you not have a crossmember under the engine? If so how close is it to the front diff housing? If not, well....... My motor is about an inch away from the firewall, didn't cut anything to make it fit other than the lip where the floor pan meets the firewall. It was in the way of getting to my...

    M1008 Th400 broken case issue

    dose your front drive shaft colapse and extend easily? i have seen them seized and when the front suspention compresses it snaps the trans. also make shure the shaft is the correct length.

    M1009 and 5.9 mpgs

    How big is your garage? how big is you wallet? those are the to biggest factors. what do you want to do with this truck? toy? daily driver? show? tow rig? theses are also key factors. Let us know.:) Bye the way, welcome to SS

    M1009 and 5.9 mpgs

    I would hope ! you can get 20 out of it in a 1ton 4 door 4x4 pickup

    M1009 and 5.9 mpgs

    frame and axles. but it looks like you have ideas for them. plus you will have to lift it some. the length of the 5.9/trans & t-case will pose a chalenge. I dont know where the bad things about the 4b you heard came from but they are an awsome lil engine. i would love to have one for my m37

    M1009 and 5.9 mpgs

    dont bother puting the 5.9 in the 1009 it will just destroy the truck. 3.9 is a far better choice. Much easier too.

    Making the most of a stock 6.2

    No, the 700 uses the computer for the tcc NOT overdrive.

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    nice job, just throwing out there you can also sorce a crosmember from a late eighties blazer or suburban with a 700 and you dont need you adapter. makes it a lil easier for some guys. better clearance too
