Just pick up some brake line and a cheap tube bending pliers and make it yourself. I believe it is 5/16" line, someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Even the fittings will fit the trans and radiator. Its an easy job, trust me. Stay away from rubber hose if you can. That's only a temporary fix...

My boat trailer has a solenoid on the brake line. When in reverse, the solenoid is energized via the back up lights and blocks the pressure from going to the brake calipers. You could start your search with a boat trailer supply house to get some answers, if you haven't already.

Its really not worth the benefit of all the labor. If you take care of it you should see another 100k out of it. I would however replace the glowplugs.

My truck blows a fuse if I back my boat up with the headlights on. The boat trailer has reverse lights so the extra draw on the circuit blows the fuse. Hopefully it is just that simple for you.

Gm will always be ridiculed for its early history with diesels, but they were the ones that stepped up to the plate and gave it a shot. I think they succeeded. What more could the Army want in a truck in the '80s? And I'm glad that it wasn't Ford or Dodge. This thread is a great read, A lot...

When you say "drive line" I'm assuming you mean driveshaft? First thing I would do is pull the rear differential cover off and check the gears and carrier. If anything I'm sure it could use a fluid change anyways. Second step would be to pull the wheel and brake drum and check the brake shoes...

Great looking truck! Those tires fill out the wheel wells perfectly

No special parts are required for the banks kit to be installed on these trucks, but you will need to do something with the front battery because that is where the banks air cleaner box is designed to be mounted. Some of the guys have had luck with 2 smaller batteries mounted on the rear battery...

I agree with Doghead. I see 9 or 10 mph gain with 37 inch tires.

I have a banks kit on my truck, but I got it used. I looked up your part number and it looks like it is the correct kit for your truck. All the parts are there that you will need. FYI Amazon has it listed about 100$ cheaper.

My 1031 does the same thing, and I always just blamed it on the lift kit I installed to clear the 37 inch tires. Hate to say it, but I learned to just live with it.

I have both, and prefer the bfg's. The MTR is terrible in the snow, but have not been able to try the bfg's in the snow. The bfg's I have are E rated, so I run them at 20 psi on the highway and they have an unbelievably excellent ride with the strong sidewall. And they perform well in mud and...

Can somebody tell me what gimpyrobbs swap space is when he gets settled in? I Dont want to miss the chance to meet a legend!!!! I hope he brings some cucv seat covers if he has any left.

Ten four 6by, I'll see you on Saturday

I have a good pair I can bring up for you if 150 sounds like a good price?

I will be there Saturday only. I sold all of my junk last year so I'm just bringing a tan cucv and m1101 trailer to add to the show

I will start a build thread here when I dig into the conversion. I'd really like to start on it yesterday but I am in the middle of an LS powered 67 Bel Air full restoration that must get done first. At least when I get to the truck I won't need to be as fussy!

He was in 4 low

My brother took one of my cucvs (1031) to a local pull last weekend. It has the banks sidewinder turbo on it, 4 inch lift with 37 inch BFG Baja T/A tires. At the scale it weighed 6400lbs with driver. They put him in the 8000 lb class. Pulled the sled 227 feet, and came to a gentle stop. The...

I bought the BFG Baja ta in the 10 ply. They were brand new with the nipples still on, they were cheaper because they said they had light weather checking, but I couldn't find a problem with them. Got 4 of them for 500 bucks. Also got some 24 bolt wheels for 40$ each. They Dont make much road...
