    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    The bore of a 6.2L is 3.980 inches. The bore of a 6.5L is 4.060 inches which is .080 bigger than the 6.2L. Think about that a little bit.

    Glow plug relay

    Do you have 12 volt at the diamond on the front firewall? Sounds like fusible link is melted.

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    Worn valve guides in heads allow exhaust to come back up between the valve and guide and prematurely "cook" the valve seals and make them brittle.

    Check all connections at batteries and starter. Even though batteries are new load test them. Starter or starter solenoid may be bad. Remove starter and have it checked. Report back.

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

    One of the new aluminum heater cores properly installed and sealed will provide nearly as much heat as an August day in Oklahoma! :LOL: Well maybe not quite that much but it is a lot warmer in cold weather!

    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

Maybe try not driving it so hard for a while. I would put in the Seafoam in a nearly empty tank and run...
