Thanks yall we have come to the conclusion that the IP is toast,As we were able to loosin the 13 mm bolt on the side of the IP and fuel came out and it ran then we tightened the bolt back and it shut off.Now i suppose the (jolly green gaint will have to wait for a new ip pump) or im gonna just...
I personally like my 285 75 16s(biggest size tire that fits on a stock m1008 that you dont have to trim the fenders:]) and the Th400 and 4:56 gears.I can run about 55-60 and it isnt to terribly loud runs like a champ in that speed range and though i have normal exhaust with a set of mufflers for...
