    Front locker guys check in "1028+31"

    I had a CUCV, M1008, that had lockers front and back. Very seldom had to have the front locked in four wheel drive in but it would turn fine as long as you were not powering into the turn. When not locked into four wheel drive but with the hubs locked it was like any other vehicle, no problems...

    Info on Diesel Fuels

    Supply and demand translated, more profit for the oil companies = more kickback for the politicians. Wait until the food and clothing prices start jumping up because of higher fuel prices. People don't think about that.

    Gonna need some help please!!

    I have been a member here for roughly 6 years but I was helping people retrieve trucks for ten years before that. I don't ask for any more than what I have to put out of my pocket. I am not well to do, far from it, so I know what it is like to have an OD addiction and sometimes you have to jump...

    M1009 got hit this morning

    I am pretty sure the bumper is a standard bumper for a blazer and has been cut out for the lights and clevis brackets. Granted it is easier to use one already prepared. I would agree on OEM parts but I think that quarter could be repaired. I have repaired much worse then that, and with little to...

    Does this look safe to you ?

    Are they using lift blocks on the front axle also? The u-bolt configuration is fine as long as you straighten them as mentioned. The tire to tank, WOW! Pick up a rock in the tire and you will slash the tank top to bottom. Rick

    4A084 compression test

    Well, You may have me there, maybe, I think, Don't know.................:roll: Compression ratio is a mechanical thing where compression pressure is a math thing. Compression ratio is a result of the stroke of the piston. Compression pressure is a result of the compression of the mixture minus...

    How in the world do you come up with a compression ratio from a gauge? Can't happen. Rick

    Good Trade?

    Just goes to show that the old adage "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is" is once again right. Think about it, If he is building Hummers how hard would it be for him to bob a deuce? I would love to see one of the Hummers he is putting out.

    another 700r4 queston

    Won't you have a detent mismatch between the column and the transmission? I guess as long as the neutral detent is in the right spot you are alright. When I considered doig the swap on mine I was told by a tranny rebuilder friend of mine that the column would need to be changed so you did not...

    Don't forget the steering column so you have the correct shifter. Rick

    Bitten by a drill.

    Definitely get it looked at, a deep down infection can lead to blood poisoning or even gangrene! I can tell you that grinders also bite. They bite real hard when you have a brand new flap disc wheel and you catch your thumb with the edge of it. That was last May and it has not completely healed...

    Good Trade?

    I have neither a deuce or a Hummvee but I know that hummvee's are worth three times what a deuce is worth. I would go for it and if you don't like it then sell it for enough to just buy a bobbed deuce. Make SURE, Absolutely, Positively that it has a good, transferable title. Rick

    38TH Annual East Coast MV Rally 2011

    I have been a judge for the past couple of years and got a plaque for the first year but not last year. I am a little bummed because due to a lack of judges this past year (Carl had to leave for an emergency) I really got no time to wander the grounds. It may have just been an oversight. Rick

    ok guys i need some battery help with a m1008

    And very liberally dust the engine compartment with baking soda to neutralize the acid. Do thin until it stops foaming otherwise you will find out just how fast a Chevy can rust! Rick

    Th400 auto trans

    A lot of people get high and low mixed up when describing gears. I think what you are talking about is how high the rpm is on the road. That truck will have 4:56 gears in the rear. It has nothing to do with the transmission. You can have the gear ratio changed but it will have to be done to...

    m101A1 / MEP002A Recovery NJ/PA

    That gunk in the tank looks just like mine except mine was more like an inch thick! Xylene will cut that real nice, carb cleaner and Safety Kleen just make it stickier!!! Make sure you get the screens on the pumps and the filters. Rick
