    Speed/Gearing/Tire size?!?!

    what procomp tires are you going with? once the new tires are on you will notice a huge difference in the wobble. also replace the steering stabilizer (if you havent already) for the kingpins buy the kit that has the replacement nylon bushing in it. make sure the you have to use a clamp to...

    Fording Kit Adjustments

    for fording you should only be pressurizing with a few psi, like under 5psi. anything more and you will just damage the seals.

    Why no section for all the International (IH) trucks?

    FYI the X before a M' series vehicle denotes that its an experimental truck, so not in general service yet.

    guage install...some pics.

    you really dont need that sensor, the glow plugs will just come on every time you start the truck. It wont harm them at all.

    Speed/Gearing/Tire size?!?!

    ok, you'll have enough in the slip joint of the front axle to get it home with np, just have a shortened shaft made up soon so you dont bottom it out and crack the case. the rear has way more than enough slip in it. you should be fine there.

    CUCV starting problems

    mike, one of these days, we need to write up a checklist for these issues, including pics of the areas in question and post it on the site. I'll be happy to do it, but we will need pics of unmolested trucks since i just us a manual switch and the changes under my hood would throw some people off.

    Speed/Gearing/Tire size?!?!

    CUCV - air conditioner transplant?

    the only other way would be to buy something like the "red dot" 24v system that they run on skidsters and the new variant of the hmmwv. you would have to mount it on the roof of the blazer, and prolly and some reinforcements due to the wieght, but it could be done. other than electric hookup it...

    6.2 fan upgrade...couple pics.

    RE: post later... that sender was for the glow plug system, to tell if the engine was warm enough not to need to be glowed, will just always glow without it. havent done road testing yet, need a custom pipe for the crossover exhaust bent up and getting the truck to the shop means i've had to...
