    6.2 banks turbo kit

    Yeah it actually performs like a truck now. Definite notice in power increase. It wont roast the tires but sure moves alot faster when you hit the stupid peddle. Worth it for me, i think i maybe have 1K into my kit. I sourced all my parts used from a 6.5.

    6.2 banks turbo kit

    I turboed mine using parts from a 6.5, cheaper and readily available. Theres been a lot of threads on here about it its not to hard to do. Your transmission will be fine as long as its in good shape and not already on its last legs.

    High/low beams switch replacement

    I was adjusting my headlights and switching between high and low beam when the turn signal lever stopped clicking and going in between high and low and is just stuck on low. What did i break exactly? The switch itself which i see is a relatively cheap part or the turn signal hi/low lever? Just...

    Yeah, dont plan on converting it to 12v but would really like to have AC this summer. I thought about the rooftop mounted AC but there pretty bulky and i like to take the top off in the winter.

    AC on a turbo 6.2

    Is there anyone whos running an aftermarket AC on there CUCV and has a turbo? I looked at the nostalgic air but theres not to many details if itll work with my turbo or even how it mounts. I'd be fine with an underdash mounted kit as i also have roll bar that would make taking the dash apart a...

    Larger fuel tank for the m1009- Aero tank or Suburban tank

    I'm looking to put a larger fuel tank in my m1009. About the only options i see are the Aerotank 40 gallon tank. Pricey but nice to have a 40 gallon capacityhttp://www.aerotanks.com/vehicles/chevy.html, and the 31 gallon Suburban tank that's about half the price. Is there any other choices out...

    CDR valve

    I never had a CDR on my truck when i got it. It had a breather coming off of the filler and it made a mess. Oil all over the place and on the hood liner. I have a turbo also and got a cheap intake and that makes a 90 degree bend and filter from the parts store. I drilled a hole and put a fitting...

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    $600 seems like alot for the headers and the amount of power youd gain from them. I got my turbo setup for around that same price from a 6.5. Factor in a few other parts needed like the oil feed and return lines for the turbo, and new downpipe and exhaust and it seems like youd gain alot more...

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    I love my turbo, it will probably be alot cheaper to add a turbo to your existing motor thatn to swap a vortec in it. You can get all the parts for under a grand if you shop around. Its not very hard to do either. It still gets god mileage also in the high teens on average. I doubt youd get that...
