What setup did you use for A/C? I've often thought about it on mid-summer days in the South, but I never really looked into it...

Yeah mine too. This is a moving blanket of unknown origin. There's interest so I'll post complete steps with pictures as soon as the rain lets up and I can finish the other side of the truck. I'll post a link in this thread to the write up when complete.

No pics of her? (either one would work) ;) Niteroi is a beautiful place, I went to several car shows while I was there and of course the beaches.

Today is weatherstripping... Already did the door seals around the pinch weld on the cab, now cleaning up the vent window frames while I wait on FedEx for the new vent window seals. Pics likely to follow in a separate thread if there's any interest.

This site and YouTube. The speedometer cable will have some resistance but it should slide out if you give it a gentle pull (only tip I didn't get from the referenced links). http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?57461-dash-lights-not-working...

Glad to know I'm not the only one! That Detroit motor just hums right along and makes me smile, like the well oiled machine it is. :tank:

MV as a Daily Driver? Anyone else here use their MV as a DD? I get lots of looks from folks, esp when I tell them I drive my CUCV from Atlanta to New Orleans or Texas in mine. Never have problems finding where I parked though...

Tore out my dash to replace lights yesterday. One burned fuse, a shorted wire, and lots of cleaning and cussing later I can see how slow I'm moving at night!

M101A2. It pulls fine at 55/60 mph.

Bought a trailer and trashed my PS pulley. It's got it's ups and downs, but she normally behaves.

Hate to resurrect an old thread but I didn't see the need to start a new one on the same topic. Did the Rockauto pulley work? I have found the GM P/N 14084343 in the TM but this # crossed to a 2 groove with two equal diameters, as opposed to my original pulley with different sizes...I...

Thanks patracy. I'll have to open up FF and give it a go.

Whenever I use the google search in the upper rt hand corner I get results on the white background page as expected. I cannot however, access anything but the first page of results. The rest of the page numbers are there, in blue, and clickable but the links appear to be broken. I'm using the...

Word to the wise: Be careful with the HF tool. I had mine come apart on me and take a piece of the pulley with it. Had to go to Autozone and get a better quality puller ($42 with tax but refunded when you return the tool) and now my pulley is shot from pieces being pulled off it. Use plenty...

Found this rebuild kit on ebay....is this really all that's needed? Just wanted to make sure before pulling the trigger. They had a second kit with a compressor wheel but it was twice as much.

Any update on how this turned out?

Yeah, each of my projects has a yellow pad that hangs on the wall. I don't always get it all on there but I'm always surprised by how much I forget between each of them. Oh and I take a buttload of pics on my phone!

x2 on keeping that V6. Those old GMC 6 bangers don't spin up real high but they have gobs of torque. A lot of the older heavy duty trucks had 2-spd. rear ends to help make up for the lack of RPM. Those V6 motors would outpull the Chevy 283 V8s when both were in half ton pickups. If you look...

Yep, found the same one but I had thought I'd read a write-up on the actual install. Don't have the cash for a sidewinder system and a gearvendors, but I can do a 6.5L and the GV. Going to New Orleans from Atlanta at 55mph is getting old after 4 or 5 trips (plus 3 separate trips to South Texas...

Guys, I found an ad for a pulled 6.5L on craigslist. I wanted to know, what else would I be looking at buying with this in order to refit my 6.2 (M1028 ) with the turbo? I think this is a pretty good deal on the motor if I can get the seller to call me back (tried twice and no luck so far)...
