I had to replace both left and right seals on the front axle and I just put back regular gear oil in the hubs. IMO the hardest part was getting the tire off and pulling the brake drum off, had to back the brakes off a little for the drum to come off. Pay close attention to how everything comes...

I agree, if you can find a private sale that would be the best bet. Something is going on with these auction sites and they are taking the fun out of bidding for something that is a want and not a need.

Wow, nice ride you have there. Welcome to the group.

Everybody wants one, I can see a trend here. I love my 1078 wish I could drive it more.

I use mine to launch my boat on the sandy beaches where we live. Just the cost of a blown up transmission in a regular pickup truck is equal to my m1078. Plus it has made me some money pulling people out of the soft sand in there 4x4's.

Welcome to the club, this truck is one fun vehicle. Enjoy

I think the first weekend of November in the small town of Terlingua, Texas they have an annual chili cook-off. The entire region fills up with people and is quite fun from what I've heard. Terlingua is right next to Big Bend, kind of like the last or first stop depending on witch way you are...

Thanks Pointman, now that you described it I think mine is running fine but if not I will contact you.

:beer:

Yes, I agree

nice truck

5. Upgrade tires to 52”. The 1400’s are 6” taller than the 395/85R20’s. I did a little calculating and this should raise my top speed to around 65mph and reduce rpm at normal cruising speeds to help mpg and keep temps down. (I hate that fan so anything I can do to keep it under 200 degrees is a...

Daily driver is fine, just needs A/C especially in the desert heat. My wife loves to drive so much we almost fight over who gets to use it.

My buddy has a HET, they call him for the heavy lifting.

For what it's worth, you are welcome.
