    Broken starter bolt

    Always buy extras because they are torque to yield, which means single use. If you take them off, throw them away and replace with new every time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Supporting 14,000 curb weight?

    What do you plan on towing this thing with? Absolutely nothing about this idea seems like a good idea. I mean that in the most respectful way possible. Seriously, take other guys advice here and start with a bigger truck before somebody gets hurt or killed. Overloading trucks to that level is...

    Need CUCV info

    That really sums it up. I'll add my $0.02 though. They have some electrical issues, most of which can be resolved through good maintenance and some common sense. Expect other "old car" problems: rubber hoses, belts, lines etc rotting, rusty locked up brake hardware, gear oil that hasn't been...

    How I set idle RPM without a tach

    Perfect. Just to be clear, I should be able to stick the reflective tape on the balancer itself and get a accurate RPM reading?

    How I set idle RPM without a tach

    Sorry for bringing up an old thread but I have something to add/ask I want to try that laser tool because I checked all three of my multi meters, two Fluke brand and one Fieldpiece HVAC meter and none of them do frequency. I guess the big question I have is where on the motor do you measure...

    6.2 Broken Crankshaft Revisited.

    So like during a tractor pull? Or pulling a trailer slowly uphill?

    Looking for recommendations on Injection Pump rebuild in the Ft. Worth area

    So did you ever get your truck up and running?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I started to great reassembly process. I had the core support out for media blast and powder coat. Also had the drivers side fender off. I put the core support back in and still have to put my new wheels in, batteries, headlight harness and all the other crap that goes with that.

    All this talk about Gimpy is making me want to take a trip to the BEEFCO warehouse to check out their spring line.

    Chris is a stand up guy for sure. Helped me out with some Chevy parts I needed a few months back. The world needs more people like Gimpy!

    Gas motor.. 12 volt .. & painless wiring harness

    I'd like to see how that turns out. While I am a little bit of a purist and I love the Chevy diesels, I'm not above throwing a gasser in one to replace a worn or trashed motor.

    P400 motor vs 6500 Optimizer in M1009

    I literally just say that about 10 minutes ago on Leroy Diesels website. Looks intriguing.

    P400 motor vs 6500 Optimizer in M1009

    I've seen his build thread before. He did a nice job on that motor. That was a 1999 I believe. I'm thinking of putting one in my 1984 M1009. I couldn't find much on putting a P400 in the older trucks.

    P400 motor vs 6500 Optimizer in M1009

    So I've been thinking about doing a motor swap in the next couple years. I'm just kicking ideas around now and I really like the idea of these two motors. I can't seem to find a good comparison between the two. I guess the P400 is the better of the two. Another question I have is how would the...
