Seems like you are making it more complicated than it really is. I am just now starting to add AC to my M1028 build and I’m simply going to install the Vintage Air kit. I’ve already purchased and received the special brackets and crank pulley. Bought those directly from CPI in Ft Worth, the...

That thang looks like it came off a Mad Max movie set. Good Job!

Ditto on what Rich said.

I've been thinking about this and, the only thing it could be is a valve stuck open or a bent push rod preventing the cam from fully rotating. If that is indeed the case, my first action would be to remove the valve covers and inspect each valve and pushrod to find the culprit. A valve stuck...

Ken - I’m running that same ram air on my 6.2 now and it definitely improves performance. The breather and hose will be used on the P400. I also plan to install -04 lines from the rear coolant plates routed to the HMMWV crossover to help the heat dissipation of those rear cylinders. I’m going...

Before bolting down the intake, I decided to test-fit the Spinner centrifugal oil filter on its custom bracket and fabricate the braided oil supply line. Because I will not be installing a turbo, I chose to supply the Spinner with pressurized oil from the turbo oil port on the front of the...

Finished fabricating the custom aluminum bracket for the Spinner centrifugal oil filter, and fabricated its oil supply line from the turbo supply port.

Git her done.

Is it ridiculous pricey? Oh yeah. If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. (Just Kidding!)

The TV cable bracket for a 6.2 diesel engine is rare, however can be obtained through Ebay occasionally. Sometimes a fellow Steel Soldier member will have one for sale. I purchased mine by watching Ebay on a daily basis. If I remember correctly, I paid $100 for mine. The TV cable is still...

On my P400 / 700R4 build, replaced the 1/4" rubber fuel line to the injector pump with -06 AN.

Well after several months hiatus helping manage my wife's company, I am finally ready to get back to work on my P400 / 700R4 build and continue this rebuild thread, which has now gone on for nine (9) years. The first order of business was to bolt down the new open-plane intake manifold. Since...

Yeah Rusty I was just about to suggest that.

The only way to “just” replace the nut would be to push the nut up the line and tape it to hold it up, then use a close-quarters plumbers pipe cutter to cut off the flare so the damaged nut could come off. Then a new nut could be pushed up the line and taped to hold it in place, and then the end...

I just recently fabricated a new fuel pump output line for my P400 engine build while it is still on my engine stand, and I can almost guarantee you that you will not be able to bend and then install a new line while the engine is still in the truck. My recommendation is to obtain a good used...

Rich; I’m not sure the CUCV 24 volt system can replenish amperage fast enough to keep up with how fast the Coleman will use it. Maybe it can while at highway speeds, but what about at lower RPM’s when working your way back to your campsite? I’m also not sure 8000 BTU’s will provide sufficient...

Just remember that you need a clockwise rotation for a V-belt system (as viewed from the front of the engine). Serpentine belt systems use counter-clockwise pumps.

Peninsular Diesel went bankrupt last year. If I were you I would get one of those OEM units from Eastern Surplus. Or if you want/need more flow, spend a few extra bucks and get a FlowKooler. That’s what I installed on my P400. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks. If I could just re-retire I could get my new P400 and 700R4 installed. Let me know if I can assist you in anyway.

I’ve learned that you will have more folks following your thread if you will post just a little bit of progress and include photos to visually explain what you did. Have you been following my rebuild thread?
