    Injector pump removal / install

    Wait...they know how to turn it up but need directions for installation??? I would tackle it myself, not a very difficult job. Your ribs will hurt from leaning over the radiator support but that's it. Biggest thing you can mess up is pump timing or dropping the IP gear bolts down into the...

    Yeah...that won't happen Unbolt the pump and thread the line on loose, tighten pump, tighten line...complete! Ask me how I know :) You owe me a beer!

    M-880 manual transmission

    Probably more cost effective to buy a wrecked or salvage later model rig with a 5.9 Magnum with a 5 speed (2500 or 3500 rig). This will give you everything you need plus fuel injection. You will probably spend double trying to find a 360, get an NV4500 seperately, make the tcase work, etc.

    Other boost options

    I'm curious what the price tag on that engine was. One thing I'd like to do is take a junkyard supercharger off of something like a Mercedes (belt driven non-roots style) and mount it on the 6.2 in a low boost application. Maybe use a HMMWV crank pulley for an extra belt. I've noticed how much...

    best place to buy replacement glow plugs

    AC60G RockAuto is my go to parts place on the Al Gore intraweb extravaganza

    Other boost options

    Interesting engine build I'm not sure how replacing every component in a 6.2 and adding twins along with water injection (not to mention probably cutting its service life down) is comparable in price and practicality to a base 6BT or ISB which would take nothing more than some turbo/IP mods...

    Cucv M1008 (6.2 Detroit diesel) and Digital Dakota

    They are not really sensors but rather over temp or low oil pressure switches. You will have to remove them and replace with sending units. If the Dakota digital dash uses OEM senders, just get the stock ones from a donor that has a full gauge setup or order online somewhere like Rockauto or...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Anything marine will also work like Boatlife. Usually better rated for UV durability plus it will hold the rack in place without any bolts. I would almost go as far as sealing it from the inside as well under the headliner. After it sets up use a garden hose to test.

    M1008 Winch

    That post #10 just gave me a ton of reading to do because I'm on the fence of permanent vs. multi mount and electric vs. hydraulic. I've owned plenty but it's still cool to see everyone's setup with feedback. This should definitely be a sticky with an on going list of winch install threads. It...

    M1008 Winch

    Yes...send it to me!!! Since it 24v, stick with it. Winches are like cow bell, can't have too much of either.

    Other boost options

    I understand you did a bunch of research and of course everyone on a CUCV board would be sensative about a 6.2 because that is what they have but buildling a 6.2 is like putting granite counter tops in a single wide mobile home. Yes it can be done, doesn't make it right. Good news is that we...

    M1010 fuel pump woes

    Always thread the fuel line on partially before you bolt the pump to the block. Easier to start the threads while the pump can wiggle around.

    When are you selling the Burb to me?

    Other boost options

    I agree that the 6.2 gets a bad rap and they work well in stock form. Would you really want to have a 400-600hp 6.2? It is like a grenade with the pin out. Do you have any data on this marine 6.2 because I'm very skeptical on that number being a stock figure. Just for comparison, if you jump...

    Other boost options

    I'm not an expert with diesels or propane injection but I think the only advantage of propane on an NA diesel is maybe more complete combustion. Putting any more hydrocarbons into an NA diesel whether it is diesel or propane will result in over fueling and black smoke. Probably why no one does...

    m1028 backlash problem

    I don't know what you guys are complaining about Prussian Blue for...I always enjoy doing gear work so afterwards it looks like I just murdered a smurf. Yes you can use that as a quote :)

    Camo seat cover with cargo pockets question

    I searched in the CUCV forums and could not find the photo. Does anyone know of the manufacturer or where to buy them? I remember seeing in a couple of builds a camo seat cover that had cargo pockets down in the area behind your knee and also some pouches in the center of the bench seat area...
