    Pulling the engine m1008

    Hey guys, I'm just about ready to yank the 6.2 and had a question. Any tips or tricks on how to get the transmission unbolted from the engine? Also any other tidbits of info on pulling the engine out from people who've already done it would be appreciated.

    6.2L Dream Build

    With the 6.2 being a v engine id probably go for a twin turbo setup as opposed to as running one into another which is known as compounding( due to space constraints). A healthy 6.2 would prob be able to spool 2 hx35's.

    6.2L Dream Build

    :ditto: Thanks for the link doghead. the 6.2 engines aren't that durable in high performance builds. Along with heads often cracking, the main issue in performance builds seems to be cracks forming in the lower end around the mains. The optimizer blocks are what are currently being used to...

    6.2L Dream Build

    If money isn't an option, why use a j-code cucv block? a new and improved optimizer block would let you reliably make some good power numbers.

    help with frustrating oil leak

    Nope. She leaks a little bit whenever i run it. Im pulling the engine this summer for a twin turbo project and will deal with the issue then.

    Is turbo mod worth it?

    I know the cucv's are slow but 20mph is abysmal slow and not usual. If i floored my m1008 i could pull at least 40 up most grades. I would think something is wrong with the truck. They really shouldn't pull that slowly. How high in elevation are you? Why don't you turn up the injection pump...

    M1008 Truck Pull

    Well I ran her all out last night. She's all stock except for the pumped turned up. I was running against mildly modified new diesels so this run was just for fun. It was the oldest truck at the entire event and the crowd loved that it was an old army truck. Pull CUCV M1008 - YouTube[/...

    Fall Rausch Creek Rally - Dates?

    I'm in! I was so bummed to miss out last time due to family vacation. Hopefully I'll actually be able to camp out for once. I'll be bringing my stock cucv as usual. I like the earliest oct date the best. I'm currently at Penn State main for school and that weekend isn't a home football game...
