I’m looking to mount a spare tire under the bed of my M1008. It has been missing whatever the original setup was so I’ll need to purchase or fabricate a mounting system. LMC sells what seems like the complete original mounting, however I’ve never used this setup before and not sure how easy it...

I’m not sure people are using Craigslist much anymore. For better or worse it’s Facebook marketplace, and a search in my area within 500 miles of PA shows maybe 2 dozen or more right now. Everywhere from $4k for beaters to $22.5k for fully restored. The median seems to be the $10-12k list pice.

I installed a Parker Racor 230R1210 in mine. It has an integrated WIF sensor and heater. WIF you can direct connect to the existing circuit, heater I used a relay. It’s a good setup but pricey, and if my factory filter setup wasn’t hacked by a previous owner I would’ve rather just used that...

I got the Dayton/Stanley Spring 22-402 front springs off rock auto for my m1008. I haven’t installed them yet but unfortunately they are no longer made in USA ☹

I think acceleration is pretty good. Not a hot rod but I can make it to driving speeds in a normal amount of time. Towing stuff is a little slow but truck itself is fine. They don’t make the banks kit anymore so you’d either have to find a used one or the next easiest is to use 6.5 parts...

I wouldn’t recommend going back to 4.56. I did the 700r4 swap recently and it allows highway travel at 65 at ~2200 rpm which is great. However since I have the original 4.56 gears, it limits highway speed downshifting options and my speed has to drop to 55 in order to shift into 3rd with the...

Looks great! What paint brand/type did you end up using? 383 for color I’m assuming too right?

I ended up getting the vent seals from LMC, they were slightly cheaper than rock auto. It’s part # 38-5979 there, make sure you get the 2 piece seals vs the one piece. I’d also recommend getting the hardware kit from LMC (30-2741) or have some rivets or small machine screws on hand as you need...

I decided to add the Derale 17120 20” 6 blade fan as well as a Hayden 2799 severe duty clutch to help keep the temps in check. So far it seems like it makes a difference, climbed a few steep hills with the camper and engine temps rose to about 215 but seemed to stop there (I could here the fan...

LMC sells the civilian filler neck and hose for the 6.2. I assume you could purchase both there and it would fit. I tried just buying the hose a few months ago thinking it would fit the cucv filler but that’s when I realized they’re different.

Nice trip! Where was the failure in the cooler? Was there a fitting failure or internal to it?

Thanks, I have ordered the speedi sleeve and will give that a go, but if for some reason that fails I will let you know!

That’ll do the trick, I appreciate the help!

That is perfect Sharecropper, thanks a lot! I definitely agree with your post on being a poor setup, the dirt and crap just gets stuck in there and gets worn in with the seal and the shaft. Any chance you remember the part number or method you used to determine which speedi sleeve to use? I’m...

The picture you posted definitely looks better than mine. Yeah i can feel the grooves so I’m sure that’s why it chewed up the seal. Any ideas where I can find a new output flange? All the ones on eBay look to be the same condition as mine.

So yesterday went out in the garage and noticed a small puddle under the truck. Turns out the front output shaft seal on the transfer case is leaking again (it was leaking here before the rebuild). My question is, is the output flange shaft supposed to look like this? Or is it worn? This is one...

Looks a lot better for sure. How did you go about the mechanic cleaning? Small brush or something else?

It has been a fairly productive last few weeks. I purchased cut to fit hood insulation from LMC and installed that. It made a noticeable difference on cab noise, obviously the truck is still fairly loud but it was a good improvement. Also the oil pan gasket I changed a month or two back started...

I’m curious how the Derale cooler/pan will work. I just have a standard in front of radiator cooler installed in line after the radiator for my 700R4 but I have considered adding the Derale parts. My setup currently gets the job done but I have a lot of hills around me so the temp can rise a bit...

Yep bracket is in place and also set my phone up to take a video from underneath when I started it. Both locations I ordered the bolts from came in on time so now I have a few extras as well.
