    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I a set of BFG KM2 and Toyo MT 255 85r16 on my trucks. Both sets were purchased a few months apart in 2018. Both brands have been great, but I can tell the Toyos are holding up just fine. The BFG KM2 will probably have to be replaced this year...

    Vortec 5.7 with a carb I assume.. I went with the factory EFI and the GMPP 395 hydraulic roller cam. Even with a dead cylinder(more on that later) and the ecu overcompensating the air/fuel mixture it'll still move my M1008 with ease

    Vortec 350 Swap

    Oh it's a night n day difference in power... not even close. Plus the Vortec 350 works better with the 4.56 gears. The tach is showing 2900rpm at 60mph. 3000-3500rpm is easy for a 350. Yes it will run on 87 octane, but I prefer to run mid grade 89 octane. I haven't gotten a pulse on the...

    Vortec 350 Swap

    The Vortec 350 swap is completed. Just needs a lil find tuning and AC lines. The only upgrades were MPFI injectors and the GMPP 395 cam. The truck runs like a sewing machine; step on the pedal and it winds up n goes. With ths 255 85r16 tires it'll run 60mph at 2900 rpm **if anyone does the...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    The mech went to swap the cam in the Vortec 350 and the front bearing looked a lil suspect. We decided to play it safe and put in new cam bearings. The rod and main bearings were good to go. I'm getting anxious to get the Vortec swapped in... *i decided to swap in the same hydraulic roller cam...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    It was the last ride for the ole worn out 6.2 diesel. Drove it down to the shop to drop it off. When it comes back it'll have a Vortec 350 in it. * When I bought the 86' M1008 in June 2018, I knew I was eventually going to have to swap out the engine. I can't complain, I got 5yrs out of the ole...

    I don't drive my 85' M1008 as much as I used to. Only a handful of times each month. The 86 M1008 aka the 💩box gets driven at least twice a week to run errands. On that note I looked at a Vortech 350 to swap into the 86' M1008. The ole 6.2 is losing more compression and it needs to be replaced...

    Help me plan - better highway capability

    Regardless of whatever you do, a 255 85r16 will easily fit the stock wheels. Depending on which brand of mud tire, they are all minimum 33in tall and 10in wide. I run that size on my 86 M1008 and my 79' K20 flatbed truck. I luv em. Great on the highway and killer traction off road when they are...
