    M1009 4" lift driveline vibration troubleshoot/new driveline components

    the large area goes to the rear . you want to reduce the angle not increase. i worked in a suspension shop installing lift and lowering kits and saw this regularly. most likely its worse under under acceleration is because that you are close to right on until you hit the gas and the torque puts...

    Proper lug nut torque

    the civvy blazers with the 7/16 studs(i think thats what is on the 1009) the torque is 85 ft/lbs if they do have the small studs i wouldnt recommend anything higher. they are notorious for stretching which tends to cause the to cross thread usually and the worst time and the 1008 the torque is...

    Key Stuck in Ignition

    there is a plastic gear on the back side of the tumbler set that if it looses any teeth they can get stuck in the remaing teeth and jam the switch, keeping you from turning the key. this is the most likely. if that is what happened its a dealer or junk yard part only. only 13 bucks at dealer

    oil cap flying off

    maybe a dumb question but what motor are we talking about. if its the cummins i have seen this on my fathers road truck(400 big cam) the cap would simply come off cause the rubber that you squish to seal it in the cover would become soft from wear and soaked with oil and the extra pressure from...

    sm465 into a m1008 for towing

    if they have 4.56 gears its going to slow down. the 4th gear ratio is only 1 to 1 on the sm465. but a 7.56 to low gear so with that much torque expect things to break

    Ga dot

    the shop that does it has to be certified to do the inspections.but the loop hole(in az at least) is that the owner of the company that owns the truck can sign the inspection and be good(this may have changed, not sure) but anyone can get the certification to do dot level inspection. most...

    Another runaway

    chk turbo if blowing oil into intake side can cause runaway. only way to shut them down is to stall them out(put in high gear hold the brakes and let out the clutch) or smother the intake of air. have had this happen with civvy road trucks. your seals could be failing and letting oil into the intake

    Danger RPM for highway driving

    with 410s and 35s you should be close to stock rpm. most civvy trks came with 373 gears and 30 in tires so you should be running close to the rpm as stock maybe even a touch lower
