I have a 1028A1 I've mentioned before, the 6.2 is shot to Diesel heaven. It has around 18k miles but some idiot at Redstone contributed to it's demise and I bought off the auction site asa good running pickup. Good running- My behind.
The NP-205 and the TH400 are in exceptionally good shape, despite the engine SNAFU.
I acquired an early- I've been told first year- late 91- supposedly comparable to an S code without a CAT and with a DB2 pump like my beloved 6.2's. It is a crate motor that hasn't been installed, just says Goodwrench Remanufactured on the side.
I have another 6.5T that a local county bought for a 95 or so and the service stickers indicate 10k miles but I am not familiar with the company that reman'd it so it may not be worth a hoot. It also has a different pump.
I have a 1974 International 1600 dump truck with a 345-2v ordered with NP-435 and PTO for the dump. I had considered installing the off brand reman engine in the Loadstar with the DB2 off my dead engine. I just need to tow a Hudson 12ton lowboy, rarely, and tow a Komatsu D20 and a Deere 420C. Once in a blue moon maybe an IH TD6-62 Drott or a Deere 450(first year straight shift).
I know the advice is get a Duramax or a 4B or 6B series, but I am not made out of money and I hate both Duramax and Cummins unless they're in an industrial or marine application with no computers and as few as emissions as possible.
What are some things I can do with my CUCV to tow 10,000-12,000 ? Gear Vendors OD ? I've heard that US Gear-Doug Nash is a unit to stay away from. Any other viable alternatives that I could look at that will work with a NP-205, TH400 in a 1028A1 ?
Worst case scenario is I fix the brakes and 2spd rear end module on the rear on the old IHC S1854 with DT466, 4sp, 2spd rear. I'd need to take the old chicken litter spreader on it off, put on a flat bed and a pindle hitch and get a whopping 6mpg.
Which is why I'd like to be able to tow more with my CUCV while the 6.5T is going.
Maybe I need to just put down the hooka and just get to working on the S1854.
Thank you my fellow vintage military ord reprobates.
