    Glow Plug Conversion Questions

    The only issue I have seen from doing the bypass is the first battery really gets a work out. I would install a large 1000+ CCA battery. The first battery is heating the glow plugs and doing 1/2 of the starting work. Other then that little downfall its a good mod.

    transmission question

    I have found that adjusting the TPS on the pump does not do a lot. You may be better off adjusting the modulator on the side of the trans.

    Advantage of a CUCV over Civilian truck

    EMP shielded? I do not think so. They are very few Military vehicles that are EMP shielded and I have worked on one. Only one, and you need clearance to even look inside it. How do people get the Idea that the CUCV is all this zombie, atom bomb run away from the in-laws truck...... just tin...

    4 axle 5 ton??

    looks like a grain truck set up. If that is true your not going to be going up and down/up steep approaches. you guys are correct that the best option is to have the single sprung axle up front. But for what she is going to be doing it should be fine. Just take wide turns. :)
