    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Tablet holder is pretty boss. You can probably go quite some time before you get a steady leak dripping down the engine. I think brand new units from a stanadyne dealer is that much more money than a rebuilt unit. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    I'm skeptical that a pulley being 1/16" off is causing a strum. A tractor grass deck rolls 90 degree turns without issues. V belts are pretty resilient to misaligent. If I am guessing here it is just low rpm harmonics combined with a long distance on the non tension side of the belt returning...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    That's a great one. I used to play that on the first day of automatic transmission class. Kids would get very scared. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Look, I'm not trying to troll your thread. In think you missed my point. You're investing money into an old underperforming plastform with questionable reliabilty. I'm advocating that upgrading it to overdrive, turbo, etc. is wasting money because a better option exists. It's buy once cry once...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Health and Performance The 6.2 snaps cranks, cracks blocks and heads...makes about 160hp but gets 18mpg The 8.1 is so stout it survives a 300 hour dock test so it's used in boats, generators, medium duty trucks, and in the Chevy lineup...makes upwards of 500 foot pounds of torque stock but...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    I have two major issues. The gear vendors unit still utilizes an although strong but pretty useless stock TH400. Tall first gear, power sucking non-lockup converter, and no OD. So $3k plus driveshaft refit, you could do a really nice 6.0 swap for that money using all OEM stuff. The 6.5 swap or...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    No idea on mileage, I haven't taken it on long trips yet so I don't really have any data. I just smile when I fill that 40 gallon tank. The 4L80 is run off the factory 8.1 ECM. All stock just like a big block Avalanche, Suburban, or Express Van. Yeah I get it. I just took the M1031 today on an...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    I will tell you that I love my 6.2 M1031 but I have written it off for anything but an around town run about or errand runner. The noise, stench, speed, and sluggishness really detract from wanting to take it on long hauls. Don't get me wrong I love it this truck. Just finished up AC so I can...
