Glad I could help. Now that I am messing with my 3rd or actually soon to be 4th and 5th CUCV/CUCV6.2 in the last year or so. I have pretty much decided that most of the negative thoughts on the 6.2 can be traced back to two things. Glow plug controlers and IP's older than 5 years. A controller won't let it start fast which eats starters and causes alternators, wires and batteries to wear out faster. The IP will let it run down the road most of the time, but it won't have any power.
How do most people deal with no power in our current world of computer controlled turbo diesel trucks in the lane next to you? They either call their NA truck a POS and get rid of it. Or, they throw money and a turbo at it without a new balancer, girdle, head studs or EGT which leads to a blown engine and more negative thoughts. Or, they just leg press the black smoke pedal until the oil pan fails to hold in the moving parts.
Unless you know the IP is less than 5 years old and has only had diesel run through it with good filters. Plan on replacing it.
