    M1009 6.2L Banks Turbo Upgrade

    Nice! I've been waiting to get an hx35w on my m1009 for a while now and every time I think I can park it long enough to do it, something comes up where I need the ol' girl.

    PY0 wheels on a M1008?

    I had those wheels on my 2500hd and they are NARROW, not sure i'd be running 285's on them. I think they're only 6.5" or 7" wide.

    Grab Handles, Grab Bar, Grab straps?

    A friend used to have a 4 door Jeep JK and I noticed he had bought some decent looking grab handles for cheap so I bought the same ones for like $10-15. I just screwed them into the sheet metal above the passenger door. Wife uses it.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Sprayed some rust spots with fluid film. I need to get on some rust repair sooner rather than later along with weatherstrip install.

    Rear wheels stuck on

    A bottle jack between the frame and tire with a block of wood up against the tire was always my method if dropping it down on the jack or rolling back and forth didn’t work. Be sure to keep the lug nuts half on because it’ll pop pretty good.

    M1009 headlight options?

    They’re $180 on amazon. They look cheesy regardless of the functionality.

    M1009 headlight options?

    Looks are subjective with those lights. They remind me of something a kid in high school would put on his civic. You can purchase nice hella brand glass housings (under $50) that use HB2 style replacement bulbs inside (55w). I wouldn’t use them without a relay harness though.

    I found the part number (I believe) but looks like it’s discontinued unless a dealer can do a nation wide search. 6271341

    How much is this M1028 worth?

    It certainly has some decent upgrades on it. I'd personally swap for a turbo LS setup over the 454. Can make more power for probably what you can sell that big block for and get double digit mpg's. 4l80e would also be a nice upgrade. Any pics of the whole truck?

    6.2 headers

    I thought the p400 was 250hp/550ft lbs

    Axle swap or not

    I find 4” and 33” tires to be way too tall but I guess it’s all in personal tastes. I thought my 2” lift with 33” was too tall so I swapped to 35” tall tires. also chances are that rough country kit will ride harsh compared to springs from tuff country (who also makes their stuff in the USA)...

    Winch Bumper

    That thing sticks out pretty far compared to a stock bumper. I’d think you’d have to cut and weld the brush guard on top of there to get it placed the correct amount from the grille.

    Winch Bumper

    Without seeing the shape and design of the bumper you have it’s very hard to know if it’ll work without major fabrication. If it mimics the stock bumper in a thicker plate then I’m sure with some work it’ll fit. I chose to install a winch behind the stock bumper instead and with a plate...

    Axle swap or not

    I had 33” tires with stock axles for quite a while off-roading and daily driving and never once had an issue. My original plan was to find a semi-float 14 bolt in 6 lug and then re gear the front to match whatever I got for the rear. It’s half the headache and can reuse your wheels. You get a...

    Troubleshooting Suspension Issue

    Did you tighten all the spring/shackle bolts with it on the ground or in the air? I'd loosen them all up and try and get everything to settle.

    How to keep her cool?

    I didn’t realize you were in Grand Junction. I’m in Denver. Going up i70 I’ve only ever been to Georgetown but can’t say I’ve overheated, I’ve had my gauge read about 200 though on the longer climbs. One of these days I’ll test it out heading over vail pass.

    How to keep her cool?

    The closest I’ve ever gotten to even proper operating temps is long extended climbs in the mountains at 60+mph. Theres certainly something mechanically wrong here.
