    CUCV Radio

    Not going to happen. You will need to find a working RT-524 and all the wiring, mounts, brush guards and antenna if you want a "real" CUCV radio. if you want to chat with your buddies just get a CB or a handheld Family radio.

    Old style head gaskets

    I use to go up to tom's place in north wi jUst to shoot the **** and we talked about the head gaskets one time. A trick he told me with the old styles was to use the spray copper rtv and put a light coat on them. Now I have only seen two styles one with the slobber tabs and the late style with...

    should i put a Detroit locker in the front end?

    Don't bother with the front. If you have locked the rear axles and you get stuck a front locker won't help you much. Also with a locker you are really going to strain the front axle joints and could stress them to the failing point, they are not large enough to handle the power all on one...

    Cold start problems

    If you bypass the resistor on the fire wall and use the stock card you have a very low chance of swelling plugs.

    Glow Plugs

    I have said it a 100 times. Change your glow plugs out every other year. I just get the auto lite brand. I can get them at any auto parts store as there about 7$. I do remove the resistor on the fire wall and power the relay off the junction block. Less of a chance to melt down the card and...

    Cold start problems

    My trucks will start at 5* with out a issue. (stock glow plug system) The push button is for hacks and never works like the properly working system. No after glow and you are 100% guessing if you are heating the plugs correctly. For sub zero weather I have a 600 watt block heater and I keep my...

    M1008 Exhaust

    To bring up a old post that maybe helpful. The 6.2 and small block gas engines have the same exhaust manifold to pipe locations. Meaning that the gas exhaust will bolt on to the diesel engine. (pipe not manifolds) dual manifold kits can be found for $120.00 ish less mufflers. LMC, Summit...

    glow plug questions

    Or just replace the whole shootin works for 175 bucks and be done with it. plugs, card, relay and temp sender. Thats why I say to replace the glow plugs and relay every other year regardless. For 75 bucks its cheap insurance to not burn up cards and have a good starting CUCV.

    glow plug questions

    I had to replace every inch of my High speed M1008's glow plug control system (control car harness also) and it cost me around 250 bucks (glow plugs, control card, Wiring harness, firewall relay) The truck starts every time and I dont have a cobbled wire. 2 cents

    glow plug questions

    why not just get the stock system working? if you replaced the glow plugs and relay your 90% there. The only thing left is the control card and temp switch.

    "newer" or "civi" glow plug controler...?

    We would have to hit the controller with our helmets half the time when it was cold out to make them turn on.
