    Factory style floor covering. Who's the best?

    M1008A1 Im just looking to go back to original style. No fancy sound liner or anything spray in. Just wanting to know which brand has held up best. I don't want cheap and then have to replace it a year or two down the road. They all will "look" good when new. It's how they hold up to daily...

    Factory style floor covering. Who's the best?

    It's bare floor now. Zero rust. I took out factory liner when I bought truck. Had several surplus mud flaps and I'm using two as floor mats. I vacuum out dirt weekly as ranch work isn't clean. I know about the dangers of trapping moisture, but I'm wanting to keep heat out. Its driven...

    Factory style floor covering. Who's the best?

    I know there are several companies making these including LMC. Ive looked at the pictures here and read the threads. Who makes the best one since GM quit making them? The guys that have installed them, how are yours holding up? Install issues? Does the insulation work as advertised? Tear...

    Torque Converter Aggressive in Reverse

    It's not the torque converter acting any different. Like mentioned above, it's the reverse gearing. Its very low. I do not recall the ratio Put your truck in low gear (lever next to parking brake) and it will act same way. Forward and reverse. Idle should be 5-600 I believe Correct number...

    Torque Converter Aggressive in Reverse

    Idle is a bit too high and add the very low reverse gearing and it will do what your describing.

    ABS on after overcharge

    I would also check the ABS fuses. There's two under dash. Maybe you got lucky and just blew fuse.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Stretched the M925A2's legs today. Stopped for lunch at the historic Rock Cafe on Route 66 in Stroud, OK. Had an amazing buffalo meat burger.

    AM General M934 How difficult is it to find repairs & how much will they set me back?

    Key statement stated above: If you can't turn a wrench yourself, stay away. That is so true unless you have EXTREMELY deep pockets. Some guys try to tear up their trucks by the way they drive them and the terrain. A lot just want to cruise and simply enjoy the truck. How/where you drive...

    ABS on after overcharge

    I wouldn't repair it until a new modern alternator is installed. Bought a brand new (not reman) Delco 33si 100 amp unit from SS member here. 74M35A2 I believe. When my original alternator spiked and fried.....literally....it took out ABS module, PCB, CTIS controller. The actual part in the...

    Green or black Would look much better if they all matched.

    M1008 New Paint

    This has been covered many times. I don't remember the codes but if you search, you will find it in an old thread. Whether your talking about true CARC paint or automotive OD Green, the SW codes have been posted before.

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    The new filter bases have that hole completely removed. If you can find one. They are hard to find now. The plug and seal modification seems to work very well, so I've read.
