    Different Way to Plumb Dual Fuel Tanks

    I'm in the process of installing an auxiliary fuel tank on the passenger side of my M1028 and am considering a different way of plumbing the two tanks. While thinking about the valving and switching between the two, I wondered why the two tanks couldn't simply be plumbed together for one...

    Thank you for that information. I had been looking at Sherpa for quite some time, and really liked their product. I guess it took your post to flip my switch. I know all about ordering from Australia. I purchased my supercharger from Bullet in Yatala Qld, wherever the hail that is. I'll...

    Just curious - are you powering the 24v winch with the 24v slave wiring?

    Roscommon 12v conversion pdf link

    If I may ask, why are you considering converting to 12-volt only? There are many advantages of retaining the OEM 12/24 volt system. If the system is configured as it was designed, it works wonderfully. If you abandon the OEM design your truck will indeed lose value. In addition, 24-volt...

    6.2 and 6.5 engine questions

    Hold on there Mr. 2insane. Doing 1 and 2 will indeed strengthen an older block, but not to the strength of a P400. The P400 6.5 diesel was designed and built by GEP for the up-armored HMMWV which weighed over 12,000 pounds and would be operating in desert conditions. Unlike regular engine...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Thanks Barrman for that excellent and very informative reply. I believe I will purchase one of those today. One other question - did you have any fitment issues? Did the oil cooler and transmission cooler lines all attach properly with the correct threading?

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Hey Barrman - I know this is an old post, but I am curious. Did this radiator work out for you? If so, do you have an idea how much it lowered operating temperature? Thanks.

    Best CUCV replacement dash pad

    Rick my new dash pad is exactly like the OEM pad in every detail. The screws for the bezel cleared in the corners with no problem. You will not be disappointed in the product. You know how picky I am. If the pad I got wasn't perfect I would not have used it. I don't know what else to say...

    Best CUCV replacement dash pad

    Yes that is the one I used. It is absolutely a perfect match to the OEM pad. All screw holes align perfectly.

    Flexplate Replacement Parts (+ tangential component replacements)

    Rick - Are you saying my P400 could work in the space shuttle? Dayum, I better put in a bigger transmission.

    Flexplate Replacement Parts (+ tangential component replacements)

    Rick you are probably right. The transmission-to-block bolts on my fancy new P400 engine are indeed M10-1.5. Maybe the older 6.2's were 3/8-16. Were the earlier 6.2 engines metric or SAE?

    Flexplate Replacement Parts (+ tangential component replacements)

    Hey Rick - The bolts that attach the transmission to the engine are M10-1.5, not 3/8". A 3/8 bolt will thread into the hole approximately 1/4" before it becomes thread-bound. In my opinion a 1/4" of thread is dangerously close to being too short to support the weight of the transmission when...

    86 M1009 Water Pump

    Ditto what Doug said. If your harmonic damper is the original part, hail it's over 35 years old! Replace it.
