I finally finished the install of my sidewinder turbo. And according to the directions, at 60MPH the EGT should be 400 degrees with 1 to 1-1/2 LBS of boost. But mine is running 500-600 degrees and no boost. I was thinking this may be because our CUCV's perhaps run lower gears then the civilian...

I looked at some past threads here and on other forums and really didn't find a conclusive answer. Has anybody done this? and what parts are REALLY needed. I know there's ah control module, and I'll need the lever. But is there ah switch in the column? And is the wiper motor different? I need ah...

Banks sidewinder fuel line rerouting Okay so I finally got a chance to start the install of my new sidewinder turbo. Wow this thing is fighting me every step of the way!aua. The exhaust manifold was the easy part! Soaked it in Kroil over night and it came right of. The block oil plug on the...

I had an idea that I didn't see covered here. Would it be possible to replace the Gen#1 & #2 lights with ah pair of gauges? I'm getting my ducks in ah row to install my Banks turbo and I realized I'm going to have ah mess of random gauges, especially if I find ah tach I like. I thought If I...

I ordered the banks sidewinder kit a couple days ago. And I was wondering if there would be any harm, or benefit to gasket matching and/or, smoothing out the cast on the intake manifold? I have little knowledge of diesel engines, and turbos. Would opening up the intake like this make it harder...

Ah few CUCV inner fender questions.......... I checked the archives and didn't find a direct answer to these so here we go... (#1) can the passenger side inner fender be removed (By it's self),without removing the outer bodywork?...(#2) Are our CUCV inners different then the standard 84 truck...

So I did the HMMWV coolant crossover swap ah couple days ago so I would have a better location to install my temp gauge probe. I had it installed in the port on the water pump ,but because of the cooler water flowing into the pump at that point . My reading was always 160. Now that I have it...

Ah couple quick questions. I did the HMMWV coolant crossover tube swap ah couple days ago. And now the Gen-2 light will stay on until the high idol turns off and I blip the throttle. When I did the swap I had to remove the passenger side upper alternator bracket ,and swing the alt down out of...

The 6.2 debate was ah little too heated for this question so I thought I'd ask here :shock:. A few years back the motor oil companies (for whatever reason) stopped putting zinc in there oils. So anybody with an old muscle car with ah flat tappet cam now has to use zinc additives with every oil...

So I'm shopping for ah sidewinder kit for my M1028 and there seems to be several kit part numbers available. I called banks and got ah half hearted answer from one of there tech kids, who said "there is no kit number" all he could give me was the price of $2357.00. So I called Summit racing, and...

I read somewhere on line that you can run AC power tools off the 24V slave port. Now I'm NO expert on electrical ,but how can ah 120V tool run on 24V?? Is this complete B.S. ? Could or would you wire in a power inverter to run say ah impact or skill saw? And if so what power inverter would run...

I've bin contemplating what tool boxes will work for my needs on this truck. A traditional "back of the cab" box would be in the way of loading my 10' bundles of steel . So I've bin shopping for boxes that mount to the sides. But there all either too bulky and stick out too far into the bed, or...

According to the instructions from GV you have to (shim the coupler) between the output shaft and the GV unit itself. To measure you put ah straight edge against the back of the adapter and measure how many shims it will take to get 0.0" to 0.35" gap. My shaft would take 1-1/8" !! Am I missing...

So the wife's bin complaining about not being able to get in and out of the truck. Soo I fabbed up these today and I'm not sure if I like the way they look.

Hey guy's bare with me, I'm really bad at electrical stuff and I'm ah little lost. I searched the archives and didn't see an answer to this seemingly simple problem so here goes. I bought a (flat, 4 prong plug, T connector ) for a 1984-K30, and as per the instructions plugged the T in between...

I've bin over the archives and didn't find a definite answer to this. I plan on going to 33" tall tires as well as the spare tire. Can the spare tire holder hold a 33" tire? And or will the hitch also be in the way? Also I noticed there are hitches for "normal step bumpers" And "deep step...

These brackets were mounted to the threshold of the bed corners. I removed them and install these D rings from Harbor Freight. I was just curious as to what they would be for?

So my inner fender is rusted pretty bad under the front battery to the point were it was falling through. And I also plan on installing the banks turbo. So I took the rear battery tray added an extra 4" towards the passenger fender. Then smoothed all the tabs off and added ah small filler piece...

It squatted 4-3/4" and got about 17 MPG . And It jump started ah semi truck that was in my way. So we had ah busy day today.

I read in the WIKI that the front & rear diffs take ( 90/75 ), is this a typo? The only similar gear oil I've found is ( 75/90 ).
