    Flipping hubs

    I'd flip the hubs in the rear to the correct position. If you plan on running singles, that is the way its supposed to be. The wheels will all be in line with each-other. You can also check all your components like bearings, wheel cyls, and brake pad adjustment.

    Not your regular Bobbed 6x6

    Its probably easier to remove the needless low hanging crap than to shorten wheelbase. 99% of these trucks that have seen real off-roading have the steps wangered. Removing the steps, relocating the batts and fuel to somewhere else will raise your ground clearance considerably. Spend a day...

    (M998) Hard To Start With Cold Engine

    I had lots of issues getting my motor started in the cold. Everyone said to swap glow plugs, so I put new ones in- in the fall. Still had issues with cold starts. I had finally had enough and put an aftermarket GP wire harness in. IT WAS AMAZING the difference in start ability. Before I was...

    DT466 turbo on LDT-465??"

    I wouldn't say that, I've got most of the turbos out there except for the Whistlers, never cared much for them.

    Starting research ld 465 1c turbo upgrade

    I have personally put a turbo on 2 different trucks without changing the timing and they ran great. Could you post a link to the threads that the trucks didn't run well? These motors have a high comp ratio, I don't think 25psi would be a good idear, but I've only run a pyro, not a boost gauge...

    Not your regular Bobbed 6x6

    Yes Kenny, a 939 case can go in place of an older unit. We did this on Opcom's 818 that we installed a M109 box on. That was the discovery that the 939 Tcases had overdrive in high range.

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Watch the double-digit boost Tim. The 6.5 heads pop headgaskets at 15ish psi. Not sure on a turboed 6.2.

    6.2/6.5 Turbo Build

    The dual thermostat isn't worth your time. Lots of guys swap back over to the single stat. Look at the diesel place and leroydiesel to see if its right for you. I am converting my dual stat 6.5 to single to put a db2 pump on it. Sick of the ds4 electronic gremlins. Might sell mine if you...

    Also, I have a guy near me that needs an M35 fuel tank. I told him an A3 tank would be aluminum and a better option, but I'm not sure if they have an intank fuel pump like stock. Anyone have something available?

    Transmission stall? Torque converter?

    Could possibly be the torque converter. I have new in the box ones if you decide to swap it out. Just send a pm.
