    We could solve the speakerproblem with a special mount in the area behind the instrument cluster. The speakers are already small with just a standard sound.

    Well i think the most N/A 6.2 CUCV with the stock rear axle are abused by speeding. We though also this engine will never broke as he is solid build. It is for the job he was supposed to but not for speeding. Thats why our rebuild drivetrain also include the overdrive 4l80e. The 6.2 with stock...

    Still on search for new cowl vent retainers.... seems anywhere sold out. We worked the last week on interieur. It isn't just put it back in like before. Anywhere is a lot of adjustment before it will drop in again. Force in is not a good way. Bezels and clamps are easily to destroy. Same ist...
