It took about two weeks of casual reading
I too have used this site to research solutions on issues that came up with my CUCV and my 5 tons.
There are members here that have a huge amount of knowledge about these.
Saved tons of time and $$ because someone else has had the same or almost...
I finished reading all the old threads.
Now I skipped the ones about lift kits, engine swaps, turbos, 12v conversions, and exhaust stacks and snorkels because I could care less about those.
WOW!
Now I totally understand why the mods and others always say search first !
When the question of...
55-57
Shes very happy at 45
Bone stock M1008A1
I want it to last a long time.
It's a ranch truck but have had it on freeway a few times.
I just cruise at 55 and watch everyone pass.

Head, turn, tail and marker lights.
The headlights made a HUGE difference.
You can see so much better at night!!
I also drive with them on during the day and have been told
they stand out more than the regular...
You scored for sure!
He had 8 left when I bought mine
Thought about buying them all but already
had more than I needed.
Could have made good profit reselling
Posted info thread for others instead
I have read quite a number of old threads that say
yes but not very well. Some rigging was needed
Things not quite lining up for brackets and such.
Ive read others say some too short, etc
I personally do not know
My M1008A1 had a new gm one when recovered at Ft. Hood
I bought two on eBay...
