    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    looks like you could mill the intake down around those holes and use short bolts. so this is a 6.2 J code intake manifold on a 6.5 GEP?

    Diagnosing the DB2 pump

    There is a check valve on the IP that is supposed to keep it from draining back if everything is air tight between the fuel pump and the IP. The valve is probably dirty but your filter base is definitely got problems. I would do the spin on mod and see what problems you have after that. that...

    6.2 hummer exhaust manifold on 1009

    I am starting from a round manifold with 2.5 inch v-band clamp flange. The only tight spot is at the manifold connection. I have to elbow first before I could transition to oval. I would not need the oval anywhere else in the cross member. I considered it but found no benefit. I believe the...

    1078 tow capacity with gooseneck

    that's a really awesome truck. I would love that with a flat bed. I figured it would haul the goose neck well since not much hangs behind the back tires. It looked like one was towing a tank so I believe it will handle my hay and tractor loads I would love to have it as a long range overland...

    Electrical woes?!?!

    Make sure your fuse block is in good shape. many times electrical problems lead to the fuse box overheating and melting. When it melts anything can happen. All your fuse holders get loos and the wires coming in to the back can short out. The other thing to do is find the plugs in your wiring...

    Clean engine compartment

    Don't leave it running when cleaning under the hood. it only takes a small amount of water getting sucked into the intake to blow up your motor. water does not compress. cover the opeing to the air cleaner and everything else should be ok.

    6.2 hummer exhaust manifold on 1009

    I ordered this elbow for the first try on making the cross over. I think this will leave me enough room on the pump connection. http://www.himni-racing.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=248_253&products_id=2137&zenid=tn7gi5m5qs1o654o5f0sbr34s0 This is the tightest radius elbow with...

    Diagnosing the DB2 pump

    the banks manifold allows you to keep the stock lift pump. the only problem is it makes it even harder to change. probably have to remove the crossover to get to it. The oil return line can be ran to a fitting in the oil pan. It is the lift pump, then possibly the filter base. fix the lift...

    Diagnosing the DB2 pump

    yes, bad lift pump, they will move fluid when bad but not under pressure. That is why when testing by hand make sure the pump puts pressure and makes the fuel squirt when your finger is over it. many people pull the line and turn it over and see fuel flowing and assume the pump is good when...

    M1009 starting problems

    when cranking to start, have you cracked the injectors to verify you have fuel. Also have you run a bypass wire to the glowplugs and heated them manually. you have a fuel or a glow plug problem, determine which first. If no fuel spitting at injectors then you must fix that first. Once you...

    6.2 hummer exhaust manifold on 1009

    I managed to get home for a day and play with my new parts. I installed the hummer manifold on the truck and it is tight but I beleive I can make it work. From the back of the pump I have 3.25 inches to the flange of the manifold. The center line of the output fitting and the center line of...

    M1008 Brake & Fuel Line Sizes/Length?

    I am in need of brake line repair since I just put a screw through the line to the rear. I was considering changing the proportioning valve on the front cross member but not sure it is needed. Mine looks like crap but as far as I know it works. I did the rear brake disc conversion and I could...

    Transfer Case popping out of gear

    make sure your motor mounts and all are good before going through the trouble of swapping a t-case. Sometimes to much motor flex from worn out mounts will mess with your t-case linkage. I would rebuild what you have and not throw money into the un-known rich

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    non-dot. I had recentered hummers and got rid of them because Harris and Galveston County they are tough on 4x4's and bead lock wheels. My truck was being admired by a DPS officer and he let me know that my wheels were not legal. We were at a gas station, he did not pull me over. I don't...

    when using AC 60g's you should power them from the front battery and bypass the resistor on the fire wall if it is still there. wiring should be front battery 12V to solenoid then plugs. read the resistor bypass section in the stickies at the top of the CUCV section
