To bad your so far away from me, I have a complete tank setting outside that I would've given you. I put the dual tanks in 2 other trucks and found that useing metal adhesive was the easiest way of fitting the filler door cut out. I did one and got hit about a week later and the adhesive held...

I normally don't recommend cheap tools from harbor frieght but I have there ball joint/U joint press, Great tool and cheap when on sale (IIRC aprox$20)

Have you checked for power at the fuse box? If not do so with a SHARP pointed test light, if it lights see my other post above. If not take a look under the hood on the driverside of the firewall, see that heavy red wire comeing from the passenger side and going to a little black terminal? Pull...

I had a simuler problem and turned out to be a poor connection at the fuse itself. I ended up cleaning the terminals (after unhooking the bats!) and gave the fuse box terminals a slight sqeeze to tighten them up, I also gave the fuze blades a slight twist. That was a couple years ago and no...

It's not starving for fuel cause it runs good at a higher rpm. Possible air leak, but the rough idle would go away at higher rpm and then return SLOWLY at idle. What is the idle RPM? Could it be as simple as turning the idle speed up a quarter or half turn? Worst case I can think of would be low...

like Warthog said Blazer/burbans share the same sheet metal as the 85 style up to 90 or 91. After that everything changed Have you checked into the aftermarket crash parts? Use LMC as a last choice due to price and shipping costs. Check with your local insurance agent to see who they write to...

It's been quite a while but IIRC you would need the whole inside cab wire harness from a civvie truck and I don't know if it would match the rest of the truck. I suppose you could "patch" it together but do you really want to do that? I love power windows and have them in my truck BUT I swapped...

Thats good enough advice it needs to be read twice!! Don't be cheap, take my word for it buy the seals.

Totaly, completly debt free here! To the OP you might want to ask around on here and see if anyone on here lives in Rochester, like me? I'm near Gates right by the airport, send me a PM if ya want to check out a CUCV up close.

You can also use a long string and a tape measure, take the end of the string and tie to the front bumper then angle it down and around the leading edge of one of the front tires (the wheels need to be straight) and with the string centered on the tire go around the truck keeping the string in...

You've already cut off the doner roof so you can see whats in the pillers. IIRC each one has a 'Z" shaped reinforcement in it and it also would need welding at another location other than the outside panel. I had a similer problem, my son's truck had a tree land in the center of the...

You'd still have plenty of power and a higher top end, after all the NV4500 is an overdrive tranny, and you don't have to use 5th gear all the time! But is it worth it? Not only the cost but it's going to be a PIA or at least a lot of work. I'm not sure what transfer case you'd use because (I...

I like it! Are your going to keep the digital camo? I'm sure it would be a challange to match but would be cool. Is that left rail damaged bad? ( dosn't look it) It's been a long time since I've used it but I think I still have an old frame book with all the measerments, let me know if you need...

I thought this was about CUCV's not space ships! :)

Yep floors are different, If you look (IIRC) you'll see an outline on the floor where the tranny hump is, just cut the donor floor hump there (on the large size) and cut the crew cab alittle smaller makes swappin tranny's easy too!. Or just use a body lift. Take a close look at the front frame...

The best way to do this is with a donor truck because beside the tranny itself your going to find that you need the clutch pedal assy.and clutch assy. shifter,flywheel crossmember,driveshafts ect. Also the starter motor is different from and auto vs standered. One thing that most don't know is...

Yep! and did you know they run just fine WITHOUT the manifold in place? don't ask how I know, but it sure sounds GREAT!

I'm a day late! I was just going to say check the TC mounting bolts. I had a set come loose on a civvie 6.2 truck on a trip. By the time we figured what it was the threads were stripped and no money for a new TC so we just "temporarely tac welded the bolt heads in place so I could get home. I...
