another vid of us playing on the rock course before the photo. Didn't realize until after I edited the video, but check out my disappearing act at ~ 7:35 :lol::lol:

We had a great time. Can't wait for the next one! In the pics just posted you can see Kassim's CUCV having some heat issues here's why:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: Here is some clips of what we got while riding with the group.

I wouldn't recommend it imo. As it could possibly hydro-lock and break something. Also you could potentially be contaminating your oil with coolant and water. I'm sure others will chime in. We had the stepvan on the job out gettting materials and we went to crank it and the starter locked up...

I used right stuff on the pan thiis time as well and it works awesome. It is not leaking on the pan this time around. It still appears to be leaking from rear main, but as said before i can visually see oil almost bubbling out of the gab between the bell housing and block on the starter side. I...

I know this thread is old but I figured I would give a little bit of an update on the headlight adjusments. I went to the hardware store bought nuts that fit on the actual adjustment screws I believe they were 10-32's but not 100% on that. Spotted some washers to the nuts. Then got some heave...

I appreciate the response.We will definitely check into those, that may be enough to get us. Not to late at all on the response we are still working on getting the thing moved along. It's still sitting in the same spot torn apart and waiting to run again:mrgreen:

Well, rear main has been installed for probably 2 weeks and it is still leaking almost as bad as before. I followed the tm exactly using anaerobic sealant on the main cap where it recommended and a small amount of pipe sealant in the seal groove on the main cap. Also offset the seal by ~1/2". I...

My tailpipes and mufflers were not to awful bad so I reused them. I pulled the old front pipes off and took them to an exhaust shop here in town. He said he didn't have the cards for the bender but he would match the old ones as close as he could. I had to cut the ends to length once back on the...

I checked the back of the engine pretty well with a mirror but I will look again tomorrow. I felt all along the back of the heads etc and it felt dry. I looked at the rear main pretty close both times and even now it looks dry. There is no oil on the flywheel itself, just running down the inside...

Ok, did the oil pan again. This time i used permatex right stuff, which was a very good product I thought. I let it idle for an hour after the job, then took it for a drive and no leak. Today we were heading to a jobsite and got a flat tire. I had to leave the truck and get a jack and spare and...

I apologize ahead of time for the long post When I first got the 1028 home I noticed it was dripping oil pretty good from the very front edge of the oil pan where it is turned down. It was leaking pretty good and after researching here a good bit I decided I would check the cdr first. I pulled...

I would greatly appreciate that. If we have to get new heads that would be fine we were just stumped that all four would be out of spec. So where do we go to find thicker head gaskets if that is the course we should take? The machinist did say the heads were true and not warped but claimed that...

Does anyone know what the minimum head thickness specs are for the 6.2? We just took four heads down to the machine shop and we were told all of them were unusable because they had already been milled beyond minimum thickness. We thought it was weird that all four of them were bad. Even the...

Yeah. After the first ones broke I did call the dealer. He told me they couldn't get them anymore. I'm wondering if the ones from LMC would be any better or not. If I can't find something I will have to come up with my own setup. I will check a few of the other parts stores maybe and see if...

Does anyone have a link to someplace where I can get some heavy duty headlight adjustment assemblies? Rant/ I bought two sets (one for each light) from Napa figuring they may be slightly better than the junk at auto zone. However they were still that same Chinese trash. These are products they...
