    RPM Sensor???

    isspro mades a 2 1/16 unit that comes with a magnetic pickup and two tiny magnets you have to glue to the harmonic damper. It´s been working for 8 years without trouble.

    What oil to use?

    Our Chevy 6.2 engines specs asks for CG-4 oil rating, you can go higher to CH-4 or CI-4 but now lower like CF-4. This rating is needed for properly lubrication of the roller lifter bearings. I´m a huge fan of Chevron Delo 400 too. My other choice would be Mobil 1.

    Anyone found an exhaust system they like?

    I like the sound of dual 3" pipes with a balance tube and 3 inches Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers. It´s a throaty deep sound kinda like a bigblock. I´ve liked it so much that I have both trucks equipped with the same exhaust system.

    CUCV: What glow plugs to buy? (24volt origial military)

    it works, otherwise when your 8 glow plugs pass out, and you get 24v at the glow plugs (no amp draw, no voltage drop from the resistors) the glow plug module wouln´t cycle, but it does. It happened to me when I tried ot start the engine the first time, I couldn´t get it started and the glow...

    CUCV: What glow plugs to buy? (24volt origial military)

    You can buy 24v gp (HMMWV) and get rid of the resistors. Just bypass them and everything will work ok. They have round connectors like civvy ones. The resistors on the oem system, under full draw (8 working glow plugs) gives like 13v to 15 volts to the GPs, (a little high for GPs taste) if one...
