I would be down for that. I never need an excuse to take the M1031 for a ride. Should we start a thread for a local meet and greet? Bonus if we could get the trucks out for some low range action.

Greetings Nice ride! I'm about an hour south of you in Wilmington. Give a holler when you want to go burn some diesel fuel.

Tape is no good on a secondary filter fitting.

No prob! Be careful with Teflon it really isnt rated for fuel and it should NEVER be used on the last fitting leading to he IP.

Probably won't do much harm being too tall other than making intake noise greater.

BTW, your truck is sweet! I really dig the small lift, HMMWV wheels, and the HMMWV tire carrier. Everything looks proportional, functional, and just is dialed in!!!

A good test is to put on of your front tire's sidewall against a tall curb or something solid. Then move your wheel back and forth. Look at how much the body moves before the wheel actually deflects against the ground. The more movement, the worse your steering feel is going to be. This is just...

You will notice that under hard braking or hitting uneven bumps in the road like the breakdown lane that the truck tends to steer itself. This happens when the front axle moves rapidly, the short draglink and operating angle causes it to steer without driver input. Offroad, you pretty much lose...

What is the current bumper height right now? From the pic (guessing those are the 40's), you may be pretty close as is with the 37's. As far as steering goes, what corrections have been done to it? At 4" on mine and a 2" drop pitman, it steers ok on the street. Wouldn't want to get it all...

Drop bumper may not work, law states "securely attached to the chassis or frame". They may get you on it not being attached to the stock mounting points. You can't have anything over 30" to the bottom of the bumper in PA. This is all in the book...

Most of the country do not like spacers. I never had an issue with inspections but most techs say no way. The DRW hubs will get you past that since they are a stock item. I think you could almost get away with crossover as long as the tech isn't a Chevy guru. The box appears stock, the pitman...

Helper springs on the back? What...the 5/4 ton 10 leaf with overload not enough??? Fitting 37's on a stock height or even 2" lift truck is not ideal but can be done without massive trimming. It is not necessarily the lift height that will help you clear tires on this truck. You need to push the...

So I see two seperate issues: 1) It won't pass inspection and officers harassing you: I don't see how running HMMWV tires will make this any better. They are oversized and even though DOT approved still a beadlock. Most inspection stations and LEO's will frown upon both of these regardless of...

Ruds are great! I've always been a big advocate for running all terrains because they are quiet, more fuel efficient, balance better, etc. and chain up for nasty stuff rather than running super aggressive tires year round. Chains turn even the worst tire into tank tracks. One thing I will say...

Good place to start...many people with good intentions fall victim to fires, burnt wired, toasted starters, etc. I would open all the lines and crank in 10 second intervals for quite some time. A good tip...remove all GPs so the engine spins over faster. Much easier on starting system. Be sure...

That would definately be plausible. Regardless of the hubs position, if the front diff is seized and you are in 4wd nothing is going to move. That is more likely with what you found than the tcase being so far out of adjustement and going into Neutral.

Do a starter relay fix before you learn the hard way while priming the system. If the truck was running recent, chances are the injector lines are still primed. Do not attempt to start with the IP wire connected unless you are pretty positive the system is bled out. This will save you lots of...

Sounds like that... Are your shifts firm under normal driving? Mine shifts butter smooth unless you are to the floor. Just thinking possible vaccuum bleed (not completely gone yet) or a misadjusted valve on the IP causing compiling problems.

Any chance the linkage is improperly adjusted and the tcase is going into neutral? 2wd to 4wd simply engages the front output, rear output always remains connected.

Sounds like the IP is failing or you have a fuel leak and the system is bleeding down. You only have to touch the throttle if it is cold out. Check the sunvisor for the half and full position temperatures. I'm sure it is also in the TM. I go about half when it is around freezing and full when...
