1984 M1031 Questions

[GsM1031-84]

Hello, I have a 1984 M1031 (Chevy 1ton dually 6.2 diesel). Can someone give me direction on how to do the starter relay modification? Also, does anyone have any ideas on an upgrade or modification to get the top speed improved from 55mph. Trans swap to get 4 gears? What have other people done? Thank you,

Have you downloaded all of the TM's yet? They are an incredible resource for most of your questions. If you use the search function, there are probably many older posts that cover the starter relay modification (Search for Dog head mod). There is also a whole forum on modifications for CUCV vehicles and the whole increasing speed has been covered. There is an incredible amount of knowledge on this forum, and they will definitely help through all your questions, but the TM's will answer many of those before you even ask them. Good luck and welcome to SS

Thank you for the direction. I have started searching and did find the doghead mod, which will be my first upgrade. I will look into the TMs next. I appreciate the help and the welcome!

If you are keeping normal size tires, the 4L80E swap is recommended.
