    Head gasket advise....

    no difference in head gasket. just brand and thickness. never heard of candadian castings. There is navastar castings and Dalton castings, old gm castings and some china crap out there. Navastar is what you want if they are used. If you buy new from G.E.P. they will be a Dalton cast unless...

    Time to let go??

    I am seeing a 14 bolt rear but the front on that one does not look like D60. Hubs are not right unless you got some crazy spacers. The parts truck I would take first 500 or take to scrapper which is probably the same $500. You would be best to sell as pair. The axles are worth 2k making the...

    Project m1010

    I have one I pulled from my 6.5 gep to put a fluid dampner on. I believe they are the same. It is the same as the one that I have for my 6.2 or at least looks that way, side by side I cannot see any difference. IF it works, $20 plus shipping but I won't be home until sunday night. Most auto...

    H1 Wheels 1 ton axles M1009

    go ahead and change to a 16 or 17 inch rim and it will give you a lot more tire choices. in most cases with no lift, 31 inch tires is as big as you can go as long as they are not to wide. that is for no rub. I had 33 inch by 12 wide on stock rims (4 inch back space, 8 inch wide rim) and they...

    Possibly a cucv over charging issue ?

    adding to this post just to clarify the operation of the hybrid electrical system and understanding its capabilities. The front battery is charged by the drivers alt. (the 12Volt alt) The back battery is charged by both alternators. Without the input from the first alternator, the second alt...

    Off Road Design Engine Crossmember

    i would not start it and drive it. if it has to be moved, push it. When you start to put the cross member in, make sure you have both axles level. you do run the risk of getting things out of square. Putting torque between motor and frame without the cross member may not be the best idea...

    Is blazer driveshaft a weak point?

    The u joints are the week points. The shaft in my opinion is plenty strong for the horse power and weight of the vehicle. I agree that the slip yoke and t-case is going to have problems before twisting a drive shaft. Using the 1410 u-joints that have sealed bearings (non-greasable) are the...

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    still working on the motor. ended up with the wrong water pump. I ordered from rock auto and they sent me the ccw and not the clock wise rotational pump. I am reconsidering the serpentine system since I now have the water pump. I have located a 6.5 motor I can get all the parts from but it...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    you can build a manual controller for the 4l80e. I believe it takes 4 toggle switches and the wire harness pigtail that plugs to the tranny. So it can be build out of scrap electrical parts, there are plans somewhere for it on the net. I plan to build one to have handy if mine fails. I don't...

    M1009 Swing Out Tire Carrier Ideas and Advice

    That looks like a jeep bumper cut and modified to attach to the bumper of the 1009. I had a buddy with jeep that had a swing out carrier that looked exactly like that one except the bumper part is cut out. the top swing out part is the same. maybe this person modified a jeep product?

    88 r2500 CC, 6.5 retro, 12v lighting gone if running

    It looks like a civy 6.5 and not a cucv. it appears you have two glow plug relays, old style and a st85 or the other relay works the starter or something else I cannot tell. the terminal block pick appears to be missing the 12V feed from the front battery (img 1721). the blank screw on the...

    Surging when off throttle

    try changing the filter and see if that gets you a couple more days. if so, you got something in your tank that is clogging the filters fast. if the filter is clean, I think you have a failing IP. It is definitely a fuel metering problem, most of that happens in the IP. The fuel lines on...

    88 r2500 CC, 6.5 retro, 12v lighting gone if running

    like many trucks, yours has been modified, in stock form there is no black button. you don't have a stock wiring anymore and you will need to post lots of pictures for anyone here to be able to help. Most likely you have an electrical problem that is causing the Injection pump shutoff...
