Well, it's finally back on the road. Note, long side axle shaft out of a 98 is 3/8" shorter. 14 bolts are such a joy to set up. While I was working on this, I figured that I would install the fabricated cover that I've had for some time. Only problem was I couldn't find it. I ended up using...

That's a really cool truck John. I've been pondering something similar with my M1010. I was planning on using a chassis/cab axle. The body has a cross member in the way. I'd have to lift it. If it doesn't sell soon, I'm going to get started on it.

Only if they have been there in the past.

Sounds good to me.......oh, wait! Disregard and carry on.

I don't think anyone said it was on par with a 400 Turbo. In comparison, it's weak. That said, compare an Allison with a 400 and the 400 is weak. Properly cooled a decent rebuilt 700 can tow. It was never designed to tow heavy loads in OD anyways. Only a fool would want to to 7500# 70 mph in a...

Awesome truck and kudos for doing the job right, implementing the TMs and digging for the pertinent info.

I did. Prior to my move, I scrapped the wrecker (another collosal waste of money). The chassis cab truck I created out of the M1008 was sold (and I've regretted it since).

A 6.2 LS gasser would give you all you need except the diesel fuel option.

No Sir...4wd. I got the goods to fix it. Mostly done now.

I agree. When I put the chassis cab axle in my SECM, I took the time to remove the NoSPIN from the existing axle and reinstall it. Actually, I did that on the other truck with the C&C axle too. I wished I had time to go get the other one I have. Oh well, I'll install it eventually.

I do Eric. I think the bang I heard in the yard was either the axle or gov bomb. During the test drive I believe more carnage occurred. My feeling is that the gov bomb did it's best to drive just the one axle and failed. Of course, it could have happened vice versa as well. As luck has...

More on the truck saga. Used it in July to move a bunch of mulch at church. The rear brakes were dragging on the way home unbeknownst to me. Found out when I got home, parked it and planned to deal with it later. Moved it a few times but is sat for about 6 weeks. After that the right rear...

They certainly do.

The sediment can also be found in unopened containers of BFS. Folks smarter than I surmised that it's residual dye as it settles out of the BFS. It does the same in your brake system as it turns from purple to yellow/amber. Strain it and use it. Were it DOT 3 it would warrant disposal.

That's a nice looking SECM.

Odds are good that my Duratracs will dry rot before I wear them out. I don't mind that on my CUCVs.

I have 6 duratracs on my SECM. I'm hooked too. Need 6 more for my little landscape tipper ......what I really need is to remove the detonated gov bomb.

If it makes no sense and sounds quite ridiculous, it's likely run by gov't.

Well, that helps. More info. I've obtained a gasser NV4500 and the adapter to install it in place of my SM465. The 4500 is a 23 spline output. I'm looking to get just the range box to save on shipping. Would like to build a 203/205 doubler. Now that I know I can find one, I'm going to pick...

Does anyone have a stash of these anywhere? They used to be plentiful and cheap. Not seen any in a while. While it's not a parts wanted thread, I need to make sure one is available before I move with a tranny purchase.
