$10k is more than enough money to get an auction truck…just understand how the bid and fee’s work before you bid.
Also…determine what truck model you want or can afford upfront
yes, the radiator is longer than the shroud…I Had to align the bottom of the shroud so far down at the bottom, I used a flapper wheel
to remove some shroud at the center bottom so the rubber isolator would line up correctly.
If this wasn’t done, the shroud sat to to far back and the fan blade...
Hummer H1 92-93 used the 3L80e with 242 Tcase, essentially was an M998A1.
85-93 used 218 Tcase….when the 218 was mfg discontinue, a “57k” kit was developed so when a
218 was to be replaced, you ordered the “kit” that also had the new front and rear driveshafts, rear diff yoke, Tcase lock
lamp...
I’ve had a truck with that same switch, it engages the fan clutch if it not yet turned on via the thermostatic switch, the switch is a safely switch, you need to pull the switch to move it from position to position.
You can’t really…at least not an OEM center rear mounted turbo.
I do in fact have an after market turbo here for sale if at all interested…it’s a commander 6500 kit removed from a customers truck because he went
with a different motor. It’s mfg by BMI, a page sponso here on SS.
yes, I’ve had probably 200 m1123’s through the shop…seen one or two that did have the casted version, the MAK suspension kit came with the “old” style spring mount, along with front and rear fixed springs, shocks..
954’s yes…variable rates No, remember also that if you go Variable rate, you have to have Casted upper spring mount and not the
stamped version, MAK equipped trucks have the stamped version.
I’ve had customers buy trucks in HI and ship them back over to the mainland, the cost wasn’t bad at all.
as far as truck’s conditions? Like anything, you have to rely on the pics….ive had many many from Yermo that were absolute rust buckets, you have to remember that most of these are USMC...
You dont need a turbo model to go 70mph, the A2 model is a 4 speed with NA motor and is actually quite happy at 70mph
and has lower rpm’s than a turbo equipped model due to the gearing, the A2 runs a 2.73 comp to a turbo trucks 3.08.
Your issue is not shocks, your issue is you’re truck has up armored fixed rate HD springs, the fix isn’t shock, shocks dampen your return rate
when a spring is compressed, an unloaded M1123 that has MAK springs has no return, the return is felt in your kidneys.
You need to go back to the...
Guys, this is a rare occurrence, most of you have never even heard of this sort of thing happening let alone hearing of an owner
experiencing this failure, just dangle a pair of needle nose from your rear view mirror, or better yet for all the guys who like clutter in the cab, install a small...
