    Where to Buy Valvetrain Components

    I read in an article printed in 2005, 82-84 rocker arm assemblies didnt oil effectively resulting in badly worn bushings and shafts. In their build they used parts from o'Reillys. Truck Trend October, 2005. 6.2 banks turbo build.

    Getting my CUCV road worthy!

    16x8 wheels 4.5 backspace. Yes to the 700r4. In od you would have 3.19 final drive ratio. At 70mph rpm would be 2150 rpms with out lock up convertor, 2-3 hundred less with lock up. Without od 456 gears at 70mph around 3050 rpm's. And with 700r4 and 456 gears you will have a kick but 13.95 1st...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    To simply the mechanical lift pump install, I used a tubing cutter to take 3" out of the hard line and used 3/8 rubber fuel line, double clamped on each side. Sped up the installation process. I have since moved on to an electric lift pump which I prefer.

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    Why not from the block to radiator oil cooler then from radiator cooler to secondary cooler then back to the block? Eliminating the T fittings.

    Constant cranking suggestions?

    Db electric is the company that convinced me to stick with the old gm dd starters, the last time I ordered one of theirs 1 bolt hole was so far off I had to drill it out about 1/16 " just to get both bolts started at one time.

    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    Good plan and good luck. It's always nice to have a spare IP . Injectors would be a good idea also.

    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    Before you install new ip I would drop the tank and clean, flush fuel lines, install new fuel filter. Make sure that you don't have something in the tank killing your fuel system.

    CUCV Starting issues

    I do not advise hitting your starter with a hammer, if you have gotten to that point it's time to replace ASAP. I did it just to keep my dd on the road til my new starter showed up. My 1009 is my one and only means of transportation so some times I cut corners to keep it on the road. I have not...
