Steven, Good tip thanks. The leak is really around the heads. the pipe and valve covers is not so bad. The heads will be a project. I dont want a leak when I am headed out to my camp sight this deer season. Once I hit the dirt I am 6x6 low range for over 80 percent of the trip. Thank god last...

From the outside she doesnt look half bad, open her hood and its that PMCS (PMS lol) time of month. Just ordered the head gasket set from Memphis Equip. Has anyone broken down the compressor before? I have a new one and am thinking about tearing it down and taking out the older than old...

I too am looking for a rebuild kit. I have an extra New (i dont know how old, has vietnam OD) never mounted compressor. I want to tear it open and replace the gaskets. My current installed one is leaking. I will post pics on lunch break : )

Not not you need to but its easy with the batteries out of the way. Also I agree you will be better off using some grease on the "uphill" side of the fuel rod. Only use enough to hold it up for installation. I wouldnt use RTV for the gasket. Use Copper spray adhesive. Spray it liberally and let...

One recommendation for turbo'ing the the 6.2 for added strenght and reliability. Purchase a stud girdle kit. It attaches to three main bearings on the crank. This spreads the extra stress evenly on the crank. Also if you want throw a gear drive in. I did both of these mods when I rebuilt mine...

Max, porky is right. This happened to be except my adapter broke in two lol. I replaced both gaskets as well. Transmission shop is your best bet. If you dont have one close by go to autozone, oriely, napa... any of those and buy a roll of the gasket material (dont buy the cork) and with a little...

Great. Thank you for the useful tips. Its heavy, take all linkage, master cylindar mount, 6 studs.... now for shimming it I will check out the TM's. If anyone wants to share their experience on the best way to shim it I am all ears. Otherwise TM's here I come.

Hey guys, I found a deuce to scrap some parts for the winch set up. It has the bumper (no winch attached) which I will swap with mine. For the record I know they are the same bumper but mine has some tree damage lol and no extensions for the frame. Then I thought to myself... "PTO" so in a...

Hey thanks. PTO sounds great, I would love to have the original CUCV setup but **** they are hard to find. (for somewhat of a decent price) Cucvnut: thanks for the link. This is actually exactly what I had in mind but I wasnt sure how to set it up. Thank you.

Also you may want to take the trouble wire, cut it back one to two inches and just put a new connection on it. Also just have someone turn the key to run and feel along the wires attached to the junction box to see if any of the wires are getting hot. I would do this on the GP relay as well...

Hey guys. Anyone have pictures they can share with me of the winch they have on their CUCV? Bambi season is around the corner and I have a new 10,000 LBS winch I want to mount or build a mount for the hitch. Yes, 10,000 is a bit much BUT hehe it was free, traded it for an extra 4 core...

I just installed a new additional ground strap. I went from the drivers side accesory sized bolt on the intake which goes into the head. Ran the cable under the brake booster to the lower bolt (cleaned) on the hood arm. Cable used is about the same size as the actual battery cables, "thick"...

Oh and another way to check your fuel for possible air restriction.... Keep your door open and look back at your exhaust pipe, see any smoke? black or white? Does it smell like burning diesel exhaust? (if you have a breeze to carry the smell to your nose haha)

Dave, I used to have this problem as well. It seems the slower the starter cranks the longer it takes the truck to fire up (that is if all other systems are still working) even one bad GP can make starting that much harder. I replaced the original starter with a new one. It is a 24V Gear...

Get a gallon and go for it :) no worries, not driving the 13,000 LBS beast haha, just my chair.

Wow, Thank you jack daniels for helping me tonight. Thanks porky, i got the link haha. By the way, NEWBEEEEE lol

Thats not true as far as I know. Externally it is the same other then the serial number. The turbo sound comes from the internal parts. If I am mistaken please let me know.

For in town I love the C. My friend has one and hey the Army pays for hearing loss (before you say it yes I know you dont get it back). Long highway trips I have a nice set of ear plugs. Problem solved. Soooo help is appreciated. If someone has an actual answer that would be great.

Ok haha let me rephrase my question. I have a D turbo, the boring one : ) I want a C. Their is a doner truck I have access to. How can I tell if it is a C? Will the number on the turbo tell me if it is a C?

How can I tell from using the numbers if the turbo is a C (the one I want) from the boring D?:jumpin::driver:
