    M1031 - 4L80E conversion ??s

    as stated above, if your truck still has the diesel stall converter, it will shift and run like a dog, my buddy swapped a sbc into his m1009 and didnt change the TC or the governor on the trans, and it shifts way out of the power band for the gas engine.

    what's the cheapest way to insure?

    the only difference in the vin is the "D" that denotes its a government truck, the rest of the vin code is the same as a civilian truck. Onto, call and tell them that they need to do a VIN lookup with the main office of your DMV, they will have the "big book" of vins on hand and will be able to...

    need some help with what my CUCVs are worth

    if 1ton chevy axles are as hard to come by down there, each set should sell for around $1400 maybe a bit less. the 1028 will fetch a price premium over a m1008 because of the limited slip in the front axle. the blazers i would say are worth around 4k each, at that price they should sell fairly...

    Turning up the ip

    on a 6.2L NEVER let the (pre-trubo, if its got a turbo) EGT's get above 1150F. A 6.5 can take EGT's up to 1250F for very short bursts. And for sure install the pyro before cranking the ip. Also it should be a 5/32 allen wrench, and you will need a "ball-end" if you dont want to have to remove...

    GLOW PLUGS WILL NOT TURN OFF!...HELP//

    that relay in the pic looks new, have you replaced it already? i would look at that first. if you pull the light blue wire off of the small terminal on the relay, do the glow plugs still come on? If they do then you have a relay that is grounding itself internally. if they dont come on you...

    6 digit odometer

    could just be the different speedo's that chevy had around while assembling the trucks. chevy is kind of known for using that parts that they had on hand if they would work, you can fing all sorts of combinations of parts on models that technically shouldnt have them.
