Rebuilt 5.7 Vortec installed.. * .030 rebuild with the GMPP 395 cam and updated MPFI injectors. The computer needs tuning, but it'll get up to 60mph with ease Yes the AC works lol

The Vortec 350 swap is completed. Just needs a lil find tuning and AC lines. The only upgrades were MPFI injectors and the GMPP 395 cam. The truck runs like a sewing machine; step on the pedal and it winds up n goes. With ths 255 85r16 tires it'll run 60mph at 2900 rpm **if anyone does the...

I'm looking at a 6.5 turbo to stuff into my 86 M1008 and I have a few questions. The engine needs a new #8 piston which is an easy fix. The present piston has a tiny hole in it. This was a heat related issue on the #8 cylinder which the 6.5 turbo was known for. How do I fix the coolant flow...

Does anyone make replacement door locks specific for the CUCV key? Or can a locksmuth do that?

Turn on the headlights and nothing. No flashers or dash lights either. No blown fuses and the blackout switch is in the correct position. **I do get the Gen 1&2 and the glow plug light when I turn the key, but nothing else. What am I missing??

So I took the plunge and ordered a 150ft 5/16 synthetic cable for my winch. Other than keeping it clean, any other pointers on making a synthetic last?

Anyone run a Truetrac limited slip in a Dana 60 in the front? Just curious how it performed through mud and other slippery stuff... While a TrueTrac is not cheap, it's still less $$ than a selectable locker in the front. Just wanting something more than an open diff in the front dana 60 on my...

Just curious what the brake capacity was on the cucv trucks... I discovered the trailer brakes were not working when I had to haul the tractor n trailer(7500lbs) with the 85 M1008. I maintained my distances in traffic, but I had zero issues getting stopped. To be honest, I was impressed that...

Dumb question; my 86 m1008 had a 12V conversion done when I bought it. It also has an electronic Vintage Air AC system in it. When I turn the ignition switch on, are the Gen 1 and Gen 2 lights still supposed to come on like the 24V system does? Currently only the Gen 2 light is coming on.

Riddle me this... I'm driving the 86 M1008 just cruising along at 55mph and the engine suddenly dies. It was like turning off the key, but the dash lights were still on. The engine would not refire. I pulled the pink wire going to the fuel solenoid with the key on and I could hear the solenoid...

Thinking about replacing the rusted bed on the 86 M1008 with a flatbed with removable side panels. Anyone in here done that?

85 M1008 factory 24V system. When I start the truck, the light does not come on and the needle on the gage is in the green, but close to the beige . When I bring up the rpm's to around 1500 the light comes on and the needle goes halfway into the beige. I don't have a voltmeter and all...

I'm looking at possibly acquiring a 6.5 turbo engine from an upper 90's dually box truck. From my understanding it's the non egr L65 engine. It would go into my 86 M1008 which I drive quite often. The truck still has the 4:56 gears and I run KM2 255 85 16's. Max speed that I drive is 55mph. Any...

Does the exhaust pipe from a 6.5 turbo have to route outside of a CUCV frame or can it be routed inside the frame?

Anyone else running this size on their CUCV truck? I run KM2's in this size on my 86 M1008. Great tires: excellent traction in heavy rain and mud, no fender rubbing and good fuel mileage.

Anyone ever used a Duramax fuel filter set up with the primer pump on a 6.2 diesel?

Anyone use one of these in the 24V version?

Is the bendix on a 24v starter different than on a 12v starter? My 24v starter has been completely rebuilt and within 6mos it needs bendix #3..... what the🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Anyone ever swap an NP241 in place of the NP208? I've read that the case itself is stronger than the NP208 case, but internally the same. Just curious....

I'm sure this may have been asked before; has anyone ran the Super Lug biased ply 9x16(36.3x10.4x16) tires on their CUCV truck? Good, bad or ugly? Just curious how they performed overall..
