Hi everyone.
can someone tell me what is the max cruise speed i can drive my CUCV ? A local shop overhauled my trans and dont wanna blow up anything.im not a racer guy, im a "below 45mph guy" but need to know because i will make frecuent long range/distance travels and many will be done with cargo (somes full capacity).I heard the TH 400 is a great reliable transmission (somes 80's Rolls Royce use it due to the weight of the vehicle itself, 4 tons...just like M-1008!) but is not too fast.
I will begins a small delivery service and the more travels i'll make the more money i earn so that why my concern about speed.I dont have enough money to swap a faster modern truck and i do like a lot my M-1008 to make it but need and alternative to make she runs faster.My brother toll me about install a turbo...it is possible ?I know i should change the pistons if i go turbo, and add lube lines but i guess my fuel compsumption will rise too...so?
Theres a way to make my CUCV runs a little faster without loose the cargo capacity?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jose,
I would go with 35 inch tires. You will need to do a small lift in
the rear I believe. From what I understand this is accomplished by
flipping something on the rear spring assembly. I don't know for sure.
Also you will need to clip the corners on the front fenders so the tires
don't hang up on it when you turn.
If done properly, you will never notice the difference.
This will give you about an additional 5mph.
This was done to my M1008 before I got it and I feel like it goes fast
enough for me, but I don't drive fast as a rule.
Figure 60 to 65mph max on the freeway. It will run faster, but I don't
think it is a good idea in the long run.

Your request has been received, and a test will be sent to you shortly.
You must complete the test in 6 hours from time of receipt. Failure to
do so or if you fail the test will result in....I'm not sure, but I
think it is really bad.
