    What all do I need to install a cruise control kit on a CUCV?

    When you installed your rostra kit, what did you do about the tachometer input wire? Did you just leave it disconnected or did you figure out a means of sending tach signal to it? The Rostra kit indicates that tach signal isn't necessary but is a good idea for safety, to keep the engine...

    Has anyone ever used a "6.2 Rear main seal installation tool"?

    let me guess you found out about the oil pan gasket just as you went to put the first few bolts in lol.
