so im running a set of 34 x 12.50 tires(1986 m1008) in our mud run with no lift or trimmed fenders. i have to make two left turns and thats it, anyone think ill rub and rip out inner fenders or even worse, peel back a qaurter panel. also should i run in 4 hi or low w/ the 4:56 gears in it. need...

THANKS,the engine sucks and whines, almost like a supercharger whine, its really noticeable, the exhaust quieted down a little but it sounds deeper and better/healthier. i like the improvement on speed ( 1st gear is still slow to the get-go though) cant wait to haul some hay and scrap to see how...

had some serious computer issues but here they are.

RE: coffee can cold air intake any info/help/? gotta wait till dad aint lookin, ill try and get em in tommorow evening, btw, my definition of "flies" is nothing compared to what my old k5 w/ a 350 would do, just quicker for this truck. pictures will be up soon though gauranteed, its safely...

so just being bored in an ag mechanics class i was thinking about a cold air intake, i found a steel coffee can is the exact same size as the hole in my manifold, i cut it in half to clear the screws using the original wingnuts (marked w/ whiteout and pushed down to know where to drill) cut a...

i almost ran mine out of diesel once and a mechanic friend of mine told me to never get below 1/8 of a tank because bleeding the entire line in my truck was a pain, he said to do this id have to crack all the injectors open a little, crank and crank and crank and repeat this process to get all...

thanks im surprised i havent gotten any comments about ruining a good military vehicle.

i honeslty dont know about the cetane boost, i used it because i got a free bottle from my fathers work (fleet services put it in bulk tanks of diesel for trash trucks) i just noticed the very large drop in my own fuel mileage every time i used it, marvel i have never tried, i did put lucas fuel...

isnt that the blow-by, the more smoke you get the more engine damage/mileage there is, or something like that, instead of a blow-by tube like most diesels the oil cap is vented. mine has a light whisp every 3 seconds.

the police force i bought it from slapped 1/8 inch of white enamel on it, solid o.d. green underneath.

4:56 gears, turbo 400 tranny, 5 w 40 full synthetic diesel oil , off road diesel (illegal but cheaper and better for the pumps and injectors) sulphur is a natural lubricant. 3 inch dual exhaust w/ a clean air filter. interstate is 20-21 because she's wound out at 60-75 in town and country roads...

i swear it aint a civvy, i stayed w/ most of its police background though ( it had 1/8 inch of white paint on it!!!)

i know how to turn it up, ive done it to dodge 12 valves, it will run hot of course, but ive heard stories of melting pistons, throwing rods after 5,000 miles, redlining at 1st startup and blowing the motor as well as engine damage and lots of excess blowby. alot have told me horror stories of...

m1008, so i have a 3 inch dual exhaust, i am too broke for a turbo or riggin a 6.5 turbo up. i was wondering about turning the pump up but it has 75,000 miles and i was afraid of blowing it up or meltin the aluminum pistons. i am thinking of making a custom cold air intakes w/ a K/N cone...

my old m1008

i got an 86 m1008 , ive owned plenty of old chevy's but never a cucv or 6.2, my exhaust was shot, i put 3 inch true duals from the manifold back w/ shorty glasspacks, my local shop did it for $240 but another priced at 400 (their crazy).For my preference its not loud enough , it has a deep growl...
