Rock on!
Don't forget to do a little preventative maintenance by taking out the GEN bulbs and cleaning the sockets. May want to throw new bulbs in just for giggles...
Nice writeup!
I think I will be adding a square u-bolt to go around the receiver hitch portion and run it up through the two holes directly below the pintle. This should tie both the hitch and bumper assembly together. It will also help with any extra tongue load. I noticed that with my bike on...
Mine did the same thing when it was freakin cold out and had almost nothing in the fuel tank. I was running it dry because I was dropping the tank and upgradig the fuel system. Truck wouldn't idle, wouldn't accelerate, surged, and had no power. I would be looking at fuel system integrity and if...
I agree on the odometer...pay no attention to it. Look at things like seatbelts, brake pedals, door panels and all other major points of wear. Nothing says an overworked truck like a brake pedal worn down to the metal on the corner.
Remember...a replacement 6.2 isn't exactly overwhelmingly...
I would probably mount one up front so you do not need to carry while driving in an uncomfortable position. The second I would mount under the seat padding in a pocket. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT leave one mounted near the tcase lever in an unoccupied truck. Not only will it get stolen, but that is...
Who cares about what they are worth. A woman that owns two M1028's...you marry!!!
If both are pretty much the same condition minus the mileage, go with what fits your budget the best. Don't overspend if you plan on getting it home and doing a bunch of mods to it. Don't forget to budget for...
Nothing yet...working on building a dirtbike carrier for it because riding season is here. May pull a small trailer soon to pick up some crushed stone in the next month or so. No plans for any major pulls in the near future.
Why do you ask?
Sexy!
I would use any authorized Stanadyne dealer in your area where you can get good customer feedback. I would avoid buying anything online based only on price.
I don't know anything about the 24v Cummins so I did some reading and found this:

lot's of valuable information if you have an electronic Cummins...happy reading :)
I would say go for it! As long as you are not doing severe duty service with it, the 700r4 would be greatly beneficial to a CUCV. I think if you were doing massive amounts of towing, a 4L80E would be a better option but I think the 6.2 would probably be angry before that point. Lots of haters...
I dig the truck...even like your old round eye jap truck! Those are becoming very rare.
Don't worry about 'prepping' BS. Build your truck the way you want to and post up. Just don't get into being a zombie apocalypse doomsday prepper ;) Not only is it a fad but SS isn't friendly towards that...
