Lets begin. Ive done this exact thing on another truck forum I belong too and it turned out wonderful. The name of the game: I make a list of all the tools, parts, steps, modifications, problems, custom parts etc. needed to do this swap. Orginize them, have people fill in the banks who have also...

I've been looking on GL for years now. I'm tired of watching all the good deals go right infront of me. I want to start bidding on this stuff but dont know where to start. I guess open an account and a paypal type thing? Do they ask alot of info just to open an account? So after you win an...

Looking to get QQ tags, and vanity plates...Jersey dropped the price to $50 a pop so i might jump on that. Who else has any? Or who has cool ideas to share? I think you're allowed 7 characters here. I cant decide between NG2DST (my vehicle number) MTEN08, M1008 (if thats even available) or...

I bought my truck with no operating glow plugs. The Card wasnt working, so i ran it to a momentary switch to find out the selenoid (new style) isnt working either...not that i would use them considering the wiring must have about 8 splices per wire, 12gauge wire into 10 gauge, 14 into 12 etc...

I recently picked up a whelen edge 9000 to go ontop of my 08. I was originally looking for an mx7000 but found a good deal on the edge 9000, which was my second choice (easier to see the strobes during the day) and pretty close to period correctness. Now since i have to tap the switch box...

Started pulling out my trans on my 86 CUCV stock turbo 400. I broke the trans free from the engine and started sliding it back...the torque converter wont move away from the engine and I can see the gap inbetween the bellhousing and TC getting larger, so the transmission is actually sliding away...

My starter has been grinding every now and then, so I used to use a breaker bar to move the crank over enough to hit some "fresh" teeth and get it running. Naturally it got worse and worse to the point there the engine would only turn over about 1/4 crank before I had to rotate it again. I...

I need to replace my flex plate soon. Soon, soon. From what I understand the flex plate is on the torque converter. When I un-mate the trans from the engine, does the torque converter stay on the engine side? Does it slide back with the trans? Is it bolted on anywhere or does it just hangout...

My trucks on the fritz thanks to my flexplate missing a few teeth. I've been cheating and just rotating the crank to get it started but now it sounds like it has about 9 teeth left totally. I was planning on pulling the trans out today and riding my bicycle to work, but then it looked like rain...

Since I could say we didn't start off on a good note :P, I figured it was time to redeem myself. After I fix my rockers, and get few body blemishes worked out I was planning on repainting my cucv as the current paint is pretty faded (looks good in the rain). I was reading about people having...

Started constructing my stacks (don't bash me...I have good reasons behind it), cut the pipes off right behind the muffler so right now its straight piped. It would sound good if it was a gas V8, but its a diesel, so that crackely gasser sound isn't what I'm going for...and its so loud I cant...

Tried downloading a TM but it made my computer freeze :( When I bought my cucv the glow plugs didn't work, and the P/O used ether to start the truck, wich I've done as well, but that will hopefully stop as soon as possible. What I want to do is wire the glow plugs STOCK so I get a wait light...

Hey guys, i'd like to introduce myself and give you some background. Hopefully i'll be frequent flyer on here so I want you all to know me. My name is mike, i'm from south jersey in a small town. As of now I don't own a MV (don't know if that's against the rules) but I'm looking for one as soon...
