    My cucv burns up a glow plug every 3-4K miles

    theres your problem! 14v the G60s are self regulated at 10.5v tops per plug. when 1 plug goes out it increases the voltage to the other plugs. check the resistance on all 8 plugs the other problem could be the glow plug resister. If that has problems then your whole system has problems. pic...

    37x 12.50R 17 tire upgrade on CUCV

    Hello! Great start! Diy4x.com has a lot of stuff too for your cucv needs. Cheaper in some aspects but same if not better quality then ORD. I have both ORD and Diy4x parts. Under my fender flares you would see a lot of cutting on the front fenders to clear 40” tires. Right now I roll 37” which...

    M1009 6.5 TD swap?

    That is good to know! Many years ago I installed phantom 2 gauges on my Diy4x dash with the tach and could never get a good signal. I will try this for sure as it seems cheaper:) I might have a few dual alternator brackets to do the serpentine set up. I have boxes and boxes of 6.2 parts on my...

    Engine swap poll

    I would go with an optimizer 6.5 TD. Or P400. Keep it below 15 psi boost and smile and waive. used 6.5 or 6.2 hybrid TD no higher then 10psi boost if on a budget.

    M1009 6.5 TD swap?

    I was thinking... With my 1995 6.5 TD donor with 208,000 miles that still runs top... Should I drop that 6.5 in my M1009 instead of doing a 6.2/6.5 hybrid? Would I need to put a 6.2 oil pan on the 6.5? Will the exhaust manifolds clear the frame with Off Road Design Motor mounts? What would...

    6.2/6.5 Turbo Build

    I have a friend that has a banks turbo set up without the turbo for $400. Everything I would need except the turbo. I am thinking if I bought it from him could I put the 6.5 turbo on the Banks Exhaust Manifold? Would that be a better set up?

    Lets talk offroad upgrades .....

    My Warn 24 v winch was $2800. If you have those kind of funds I would say get it. If not a 12 v could work with your 24 v system. Or you could convert to 12 volt all around. I would say hook it up to a battery and run it down the back and ground it to the frame in the back. Get those quick...

    6.2/6.5 Turbo Build

    So I figure since I am crazy enough to take the motor out again to fix the leaking studs I decided to find a turbo/donor and give her some boost! I found a deal on Craigslist for $300! Had to drive only 3 1/2 hours to Idaho... As soon as I got home with the 6.5 I was sooo excited that I...
