Got it - Thanks!

Thanks for the links! I loved that custom tray for the optimum batteries! I'm seeing CUCV owners talking about "Dogheading" their CUCV's. Please forgive my ignorance, but have I missed something important for CUCV's?

Wow! excellent descriptions Greg! It looks like you & I are hoping to build similar rigs! I just need to add the np205, compressor & generator from an m1031. By all means please keep me up to date on your project! I'm hoping to start mine as soon as I can get my hands on a good CUCV to...

When I saw they transitioned from mechanical to electronic, I kindof expected retrofitting the newer GEP to an older mechanical pump was necessary, (unless there was some aftermarket electronic solution, like they did with the 4l80 transmissions) but how involved is that retrofit job?? Are we...

Thanks, I was wondering where the TH400 got its vacuum signal from on a Diesel. So Recovry4x4, looks like the 1980's CUCV's didnt have electronic injection on their 6.2's, but the 6.5 GEP's with the reinforced block & heads did. How did you and llong66 resolve that when you put the 6.5 GEP...

Thanks! Dual tanks was something I wanted to try too! I will need to be prepared to drive my rig about 100-150 miles, and then use the M1031's generator for most of the day or night at my destination & come back home. When you get back to the dual tank job, could you post a bunch of photos...

for the post-2004 redesigned blocks, right? (sorry, just making certain)

Thanks for the tip! I'm seeing a few of those center turbos around! On the engine blocks, I I suspect the bell housing bolt pattern will match the TH400 (Is that correct?), but what about the engine mounts at the frame? are they the same too?

I have an opportunity to get a 1986 M1031 CUCV with a badly ruined 6.2L engine. I also found several opportunities to get a new, a surplus, or a rebuilt post-1995 6.5L with turbo, (& "improved" non-Chinese head/block castings) that some vendors are promising will "Drop right in" to a CUCV. (I...
