    storing deisel fuel

    Diesel 911 works well. Really it will last just about forever if you keep the water out.

    front hubs

    Time to get the TM out a little more.

    front hubs

    if you take the bolts off the front hub it "should" come off. There is a Gasket that may be cooked on. Use a little common sense and take it off. There is nothing else holding it on. When you take out a rear axle and install a front hub plate is you are disconnecting power to that axle.

    brake pedal height and adjustment

    I do not use a feeler gauge, I just adjust them to feel with the tires on and the axle jacked up. When ever I have the rims off I do check the thickness of the shoes by removing the little tin cover.

    In Line Fuel Pump

    I bet it is NOT 24V. A good 24V pump will run in the $100 range. They can be found at Fuel Pump, 302 for 120 bucks. Ebay from 19.99 - 150 Ect.. google it

    rear brake adjustment

    HOLD ON there guy, that is how you adjust the PARKING brake action NOT the service brakes!! you need to adjust the "star" adjuster before you set the parking brake action. you DO NOT back it off 30 clicks! man that you would be where you started at. just adjust it till you hear light...

    brake pedal height and adjustment

    yup. I would rear the TM to figure out all the adjustments that are made to the braking system. I WOULD for sure take a look at the shoes also. If you take the rims off there is a little "tab" bolted to the brake drum. Take that off and you can inspect the brake linings.

    rear brake adjustment

    Nope. They only adjust when you use the parking brake. And even that really does not work well. You need to adjust them manually. Did you remove the drums and look at how the rear shoes were doing? I bet not. I think it is time for a full brake inspection and make sure things are working as they...

    Swap in 6.5 in CUCV???

    you will need the turbo and exhaust manifold off a Civy 6.5 turbo. The 6.5 center mount turbo will not work in a cucv as you stated. the best thing to do is just swap a 6.5 turbo on to your 6.2 and bump the fuel just a tad. you will be very close to the power of a 6.5

    ultimate onboard fuel filtration / processing setup

    It looks like a great idea all the filters and such. I have ran just about everything you can think ok in my Deuce and the only trouble i had was I had to change the fuel filters every 5k miles or so. Really I would think a spin on before the stock set up would work out fine. But it sure does...

    Soft brake pedal

    well check the lines and take the drums off to double check. A big problem with the 80's GMC are the brake valves on the frame under the engine leaking and or sucking air. The seals are getting old and the fail rate is high on them.

    new heater core or just a hose?

    yup just take the hoses off and run them together. The Adapter is like 1.99$

    new heater core or just a hose?

    if you have coolant in the cab.. the core is shot.

    Oshkosh FMTV

    it would be so cold in the cabs if we left our water on the floor it would freeze. I DONT miss that part, but I do miss many others.
