    6.5 block with 6.2 heads

    Heads will work but injectors are not the same nor is the angle they set at. The 6.2 injectors are taller, 6.5 are shorter. You can make the injector lines work on either one if you don't mind bending and prying. I had rather use correct lines for injectors.

    Transmission Leak....

    Don't panic yet. Get you some brake cleaner and clean everything the best you can and take it on a run bring it home and recheck the oil level and look for leaks. These are really good transmissions and are fairly simple to work on. If I can stick my finger in the fill hole and touch oil I...

    Transmission Leak....

    Don't know for sure if this is your problem but I have seem it many times . The front bearing retainer on the transmission will wear and allow oil to come out of the transmission. We use a go -no gauge to check these when rebuilding . Also thier is a plug behind the bellhousing that will leak.

    Check the cold starton the pump. It should increase idle when cold.

    M1008 Rear Main Seal

    It's a two piece seal, and if orginal it may be rope type. When you replace just use the new type two piece seal. This is a simple repair

    not cranking

    Jump betwween the two large wires on the starter relay, going from memory I think one is purple and the other is red. Remove the wires from relay before you do this. Key switch should be in run position. A remote starte switch works great fot this.

    not cranking

    Best guess check you ground wire located on core support in front of your front battery, check all your fusable link wires. If you choose you can bypass your stater relay with a length of heavy guage wire at least 12 ga. Grounds are very important on CUCVS. Hope this helps

    hmmv injector pump swap need help

    If you don't mind messing up your HMMV screws, just slot them across the middle with a die grinder and take them out with a flat tip screw driver, or bring it by the house and I'll take them out.
