Purely my personal opinion, but food for thought: Turbo kit or not, 3.73's combined with 37" tires are going to turn any 6.2 powered truck into a gutless slug. You can run that combo, but you'll have no pulling power whatsoever and 0-60 acceleration times you can measure with an hourglass. If...

Google "color gels'. They are the colored plastic films used in stage lighting. Generally available in a bazillion different colors, so you should have no problem finding a close match to the original blue/green. Laminate a color gel to a piece of acrylic and you can have any color lens you...

Too late now, but for future reference......... If you ever cut apart a CUCV's stock Stanadyne fuel filter, you'll realize that it doesn't take much to completely clog one up - they have a ridiculously small filter element area and there's no bypass. If you have the stock CUCV fuel filter setup...

Looks like it's mostly all there and ready to go to work. Can't see an air hose coupling coming off the air tank/air drier, but no big deal - it's only $3 part. One thing noticeably absent in your pic is the horizontal O2 bottle rack (would be located directly over Gen head) but not all...

Mine's titled "1986, Chev, 3500, 4x4, diesel, green". It's insured as a 1986 Chevrolet K30 with a 6.2 diesel. Note, "C30" would be a 2wd.

Like just about every other American vehicle built in the 80's, CUCV's use a mix of both metric and SAE. Just look for the grade markings on the head and you'll know which wrench to grab. They are easy enough to see. If you see "8.8" or "10.9" it's definitely metric. If you see three or six...

Before you can troubleshoot, you need to change the fuel filter.

Go to link below for the Muncie manual on PDF. http://www.munciepower.com/clientuploads/directory/Resources/IN/IN84-03.pdf Page 2.7 has the p/n and install directions for the part you're looking for. Any Class 8 (big rig) truck dealer will usually have a Muncie parts catalog and should be able...

Tractor Supply Company or Northern Hydraulic will generally always have 'em and you can get a few different styles. If there's not a TSC store near you, ACE hardware usually has assorted hairpin clips in the hardware aisle (the aisle with the nut and bolt bins).

Just a suggestion....Hope by "towing behind" you mean putting on a trailer, because you're taking a big gamble flat towing an unknown condition vehicle nearly 500 miles. The overwhelming majority of the cucv's I've seen come from GL have 10+ year old severely dry rotted tires and bad wheel...

For ease? I don't understand why you would want to put a Ford Dana 60 (driver side drop) under an M1028 when the Chevy Dana 60 that's already under there fits perfectly. Awful lot of work for not much gain. You want a high pinion that badly?

Check the simplest possible cause first - U-Joints. Hood insulation cuts down on engine noise, so there's a possibility you're hearing driveline noises that were previously drowned out by engine noise. A rear driveshaft U-joint on it's way out will often produce the noises you describe. If one...

My rig has civvy sourced Crosby 6 1/2 ton screw pin shackles on it. I used to work industrial construction so they were pretty easy to come by used ($25 for a 3 gallon bucket of assorted "retired" rigging at the Ironworker's supply I go to). If they have the slightest bit of damage they can...

Mine's a a former EOD truck also (Still has the EOD unit markings on it). I always assumed that the State University that owned it after the Govt. took the cylinder rack out. Interesting.

To clarify that: Clear and free of bubbles yes, but clear in color no. The industry standard color for DOT-5 *currently* is purple/blue. This makes it easy to tell when you've bled out all the old stuff. I'd recommend you order DOT-5 from an online supplier, because it's $26/quart at my local...

Wouldn't matter anyway because with very few exceptions the vast majority of auto and truck oiling systems use a bypass type filter - the filter does not filter 100% of the oil circulated by the oil pump because it would restrict flow too much if that were the case. By prefilling the filter with...

I use a "transmission extension" from underneath. It's 1/2" drive and fat so it doesn't flex/twist and lose torque like long or multiple 3/8 extensions would, but it has a 3/8 male end that's well suited for smaller sized impact swivels. Mine's from Cornwall, but a few different tool companies...

Bad crimp or fried connection? Easiest way to check wiring integrity is to use a DC inductive "amp clamp" to check amps going in/out of relay. Voltage readings can be misleading - amp readings have the advantage of testing the circuit "in action" and show the big picture. Without a good ground...

I told you before Jay, my shop's 25 minutes away in the West end (off Metropolitan Ave.) Got a two post lift, torches, welders, air tools, pretty much anything you need. It's a professional shop, not a backyard shed. My regular shop labor rate is $60/hr (which is cheap for Atl) but if all you...

M1008's didn't come with a NP205. Did you swap transfer cases somewhere along the line?
