Find parts somewhere other than Boyce. I've dealt with them a couple times and they were a bunch of shit bags.

biggestc69 Thank you for letting me know. I think I will see how far I can get with this factory PTO braden winch on the ole girl first. Love the video's and will look forward to the next one. Thank you for the reply.

whats the driving manners like on pavement? i'm seriously considering one for my 2wd ram since i live in an area where winter means snow/ice, but its my only vehicle and i do a bit of city and highway driving.

You might want to look at another option besides a locker. Lockers are good for driving situations like this but in snow, ice and slick driving conditions they can be somewhat unpredictable. Limited slip or something along those lines would probably suit you fine.

terran698 go to the junk yard and find a rear end with the Eaton truetrack diff. fordndosge and. hey all used that diff

The Spartan clicks and ratchets when turning on the street, right?

Is it lifted?

What kind of shape was this truck in when you bought it? How much am I looking at dumping into the same truck to make it road worthy for a work truck? Any info would help.

I bought a 87 V20 TBI 350 which will out do any old 6.2. And so far it's great also it's factory 4speed. Love it. Goes up anything with good tires of course and pulls a 10k skid steer good. And gets 14-17 empty. Find a TBI truck if ur looking they run good no powerhouse but are torquey simple and get get good fuel mileage. With my setup 3.73-4.10 gears are perfect with 35-37 tires. For work and alot of on road I wouldn't go lower than 4.10.

And I paid 2300 for it rust free from SC. After new clutch lift wheels n tires n a few updates I got 6500 in mine

@@jordanwalker9309 You drop 4.56 rear gears in that truck like these had, and get a heavier truck like this (these M1008s are 5/4 ton trucks), and your 350 will be spitting 10MPG max with that gas 350, even with the TBI. These trucks in peak running condition, with that 6.2L and a 3 speed auto, will get right around 18MPG empty when moving these gigantic bathtubs. The K5 Blazers are often reported as getting 25MPG! My Trans Am, with a 3 speed auto (TH350 in that), a good running 305, 2.73 rear gears, and 2,000 pounds less curb weight, is lucky to pull 18MPG on a good hot day, 1500RPM @ 60MPH.

Are they dogs? Damn right they are. But when it comes to fuel economy, you couldn't touch 'em with a gas engine, all other factors the same of course. And the J Code engine used by the military turned out 330 ft lbs of torque in that nice low RPM band, coupled with those 4.56 gears they'll damn near climb a 90 degree angle!
