I agree with ehuppert. A 700R4 with 3.08 gears will stay in 3rd gear most of the time. Especially if there is any load in the vehicle. Or headwind. Not being grumpy, just realistic. Save your money and stay with what you have.

Whatever. It’s your vehicle, do as you wish. You joined this forum and asked for advice. ChevyMike and I offered advice. It’s up to you to heed the advice or not. I am finished with this thread. Good luck.

I will double-ditto everything ChevyMike said, however I would like to add, in my opinion, your stock 6.2 with 3.08 gears will not have enough muscle to get you up those long hills in a fourth gear, regardless if it is a Gear Vendors overdrive or 700R4. You will be fine on flat land not too far...

Here’s a link to my thread about aligning the pulleys - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/squealing-belts-and-how-to-fix-them.189721/

Dude - This thread is ELEVEN years old. But since you brought it back from the dead - NO - you do not need back pressure. This topic has been beat to death for years. This subject has caused irreparable harm to close lifelong friendships. I know of one divorce and two shoot-outs this silly...

No, I have not and do not plan on installing a turbo. The CUCV alternators bolted right up to my 6.5 P400. I plan to install a Bullet supercharger.

Yeah that’s the same Flow Koller I installed on my P400. I’m making the conversion to dual electric fans if I ever get around to finishing the dang thang. A regular fan/clutch won’t work on my engine now that I’m going to install a Bullet Supercharger.

You will not have any issues bolting the twin alternators to the engine. Everything will line right up. Only thing I will recommend is to align the alternator and PS pump pulleys with the water pump pulley. Maybe a slight casting change after 35 years, but my néw alternators on my P400 were off...

Rick Working On His Front Brakes - LOL

Yep that is it. I believe everybody who owns and drives a 6.2 diesel with a DB2 mechanical pump should have at least one of these as a spare. I keep a new one in my tool box and will probably get a couple more just for the hail of it. Thanks for posting the link.

What is being done to the truck now? Which shop has it?

You can click my name (Sharecropper) and start a private conversation. Hit me up and I’ll give you all my contact information to schedule a time for y’all to drive the truck over to Paris. It will be helpful to know more about what was done to your truck before you got it. Is the seller a...

Guys, I just now remembered something. Back in 1985 I was running a civi K-20 diesel on my hunting trips out west, and on one particular return trip from Wyoming to Georgia, my 6.2 diesel began to sputter on I-70 in Kansas so I pulled into a truck stop around 3:00 a.m. My fuel gauge did not...

Please excuse me, but have I missed something? Is there really anything wrong with this truck, other than the first mechanic saying that, ahem, something was wrong with it? And then in the same breath he wanted to buy it? C'mon, that is the oldest trick in the book. My advice is to download...

Rick - it's THOSE ballasts. THOSE ballasts, not THEM ballasts. C'mon man.

Thanks for chiming in Insaane. Yeah my suspicion is the lift pump is either bad or incorrect. At least that would be where I would start to try to determine the issue. CUCVRUS did a great article about the incorrect lift pump a while back -...

C’mon Insane, get serious. There’s not a pump service on the planet that would provide a refund on a pump after it was installed. Same goes for the injectors. The fellow obviously needs help, and has asked for it here on SS in a respectful way. Your comments do not help but instead makes the OP...

Also, the front output shaft on the transfer case is on the wrong side.

No that engine will not fit into the M1009 engine bay. The rear-mounted turbo will hit the transmission tunnel. And even if you were to modify the tunnel to clear, the heat from the turbo would be too much for the cab floor temperature. In addition, you will not be able to change the intake...

#1 diesel and kerosene are the same. Kerosene is lighter and has slightly less heat than pump diesel, which is #2 diesel. You can cut pump diesel with 10 - 20% kerosene and eliminate your gelling issue. If you do cut it however, you should also add a small container of 2 cycle oil to replace...
