    does the 6.2 need backpressure ?

    160 horsepower out of a 6.2 what are you looking to gain with no mufflers beside noise? My opinion leave the mufflers so your truck is not annoying. You can run straight pipes its just going to be loud, backpressure is not an issue.

    Bent drive shafts on CUCV's in Barstow

    Here my take on it, GL plays a game with trucks its called forklift hockey, the goal is to move as many trucks as possible in the least amount of time, bend as many d/shafts as possible. For bonus points one has to see if one can do it without smashing in the door or quarter panel of the truck...

    New plugs, still white smoke & no start

    With the white smoke it appears you are getting fuel into at least some of the cylinders or maybe all of them. See if you are getting 12 volts to all the glow plugs if you are and you know your fuel is good there could be a concern with your base engine compression being low I.E. worn out engine.
