i still want to convert to 373's and possibly 5.9 + np205 later hence why i went with the 96 and up nv4500. the earlier gm ones seem to be much cheaper but cant be easily converted for use behind the 5.9
i used the hydraulic clutch pedal and master cylinder from a 89' gmc one ton + steering column.
belhousing from a 97 chevy with the 6.5,
nv4500 + hydraulic throwout bearing from a 04' 3/4 with the 6.0.
i used adapters from www.PegasusAutoRacing.com to use AN brake line for the clutch line...
i have a nv4500 in my M1008 , averaged 19.2 mpg on the last tank.:jumpin: i expect the next tank will be over 20 as there was abit of 70mph type driving on that last tank. i think the nv4500 is great so long as you like shifting gears[thumbzup]
more pics
couple of the group and a few randoms
that was something to see dh with the m818 on the offroad course. glad someone got pics of it.
good times
id like to get a m101a2 + cargo cover for the 08, bell housing for a 5.9 cummins to nv4500. might be convinced to part with a mostly complete artic kit for the cucvs.
i have a good th400 and most of the related pieces, shifter linkage, steering colum etc.
anybody else register online? i wonder if i will get the papers in time..:oops:
is there any sort of shower facilities on the grounds? might get a little ripe after 3 days:???:
looks like i have the time off:jumpin:. have we come up with a time/place to meet yet?
the o8 should be good for the trip and i could load up towbar / air compressor + tools just in case:grin:
well for starters disconnect batteries :mrgreen:
id suggest taking a lot of pics and label everything.
honestly having never removed the entire thing, off the top of my head all i can suggest is the above basics2cents
vent window rubber was one of the things i got from lmc. wish i had not bothered as the new seals dont fit or well seal nearly as well as the originals:x.
the hood i got seems ok, the door i ended up not using, wish i had just spent more time finding a good original.
overall i personally...
