Well, bad news- the transmission in my truck is toast, and with almost 300k on it I am not going to invest the $$ into replacing it.
So that leaves me with no way to haul my goodies down. I just made a deal to buy a M1028, and I hope it is ready by then. Most likely it will be but it will set me back, so I will end up doing a one day blitz down early Saturday morning to sell and take care of all the deals I have pending, but I have to head back that evening.
Anyone need a great running 2006 AM General/General Engine products 6.5 engine? I put it in my truck when it the engine had about 1000 miles on it, it has about 50,000 on it now and is a strong runner. It was an AM General warranty take out from a brand new M998A2 because it had broken a glow plug and bent the exhaust valve, I fixed that and it runs like a top. The only issue is that the front crank seal leaks. Easy enough to fix while it is out.
It is set up with a turbo now (side mount) and the setup for a 90's GM pickup, it would be a near drop-in for a CUCV to turbo it if you just change the accessories to the V belt style, IP to the non-electronic, and the water pump. I would sell it with or without the turbo parts, I have an NA intake manifold for it as well.
The later GEP built 6.5's are the cream of the crop- the blocks were cast by Navistar/International and don't have all the weak points the GM blocks did.
If anyone is seriously interested let me know and we can talk- I need to start pulling it out of the truck ASAP if you would want it delivered.
