You can run a bigger tire if you wanted to. Just put some umm lubrication on them thing and they will fit. Lol

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?145931-Cucvlover-s-m1008-the-green-machine/page5 Here is some pics of the install. I dont have the boxes anymore for the part numbers. But I just had Napa get me the base it is a wix base with 2 in and 2 out. I plugged the ones I didn't use and I used...

They do great work. My truck runs great now that I had them rebuild my pump. It's only a 3-4 hour job to pull one. Just go easy and have fun.

That panel and those lights look awesome

My opinion is this. 1: it's your truck so do as you wish. Then here's 2: I like the military look of my truck even though it has a flatbed, lots of off road lights, and aluminum wheels (flat black). I fly 2 flags above my truck, one is Old Glory, I fly it because I'm a proud American and also...

Those RPMs are about right for what my truck runs at 60. The tach is definitely a valued tool for me. I like to know how hard I'm pushing that block but I can tell you the faster you go the faster you burn fuel. It seems to be gallons per mile instead of miles per gallon after you hit 55.

I run mine 60 and 70 a lot of the time. It's hit 80 once but it loves 60-65. It's a myth that these trucks only run 55 without exploding. But I reckon we have hashed that out a few times. Any who I do get passed a lot but I don't care. I want a sticker that's a turtle that looks like a really...

Maybe a scalded snail than? Or maybe it was just a one legged dog. But you get my point, I know the 6.2 is not a powerhouse out the wazzo but it is strong with some gears behind it. If ya don't believe me go to YouTube, search cucv truck pull green machine. Y'all know what my truck looks like.

When it starts to loose power over time and eventually has non. It will usually blow smoke also. As long as it's getting fuel to the pump it should run like a scalded dog but you basically can't miss the signs. It's only 300 ish to have it rebuilt and then a few gaskets and your labor if you do...

It wasn't my truck but today I pulled the intake, and Injection pump off a friends cucv blazer so he can get it rebuilt. Even with me teaching the process to a newbie it still only took about 3 hrs. So whenever he gets it rebuilt I will help get it back on. Also diesel performance in Memphis is...

There are actually regular artist that do that kind of work. I've seen some beautiful stuff that is basically graffiti but was actually done legally. You will just have to check around in your area and find somebody

I fueled up the green machine and put on a new sticker. I got one that says 0-60 eventually Then I cut a few donuts in the muddy grass.

You definitely don't want to stick to anything lol

You will love that tachometer. I'm running the same one on my 08. It's super handy for telling you rpm at different speeds to keep the 6.2 in one piece. So far 80 on the speedo hasn't popped it (knock on wood) but it sure is screaming like crazy at 75+. I bet that 1010 drives great at 70 with...

This right here!

welcome. Read the stickies, and also the wiki page here for the cucv it will really help you. read it today, tomorrow, Thursday, saterday, and once more for good measure. Dont worry about the overwhelming amount of knowledge, information, and adivice here. Once you get started and start to learn...

Ahh ok. I've heard of transfer cases exploding and stuff like that from running a smaller tire on the front and trying to use 4x4. I will lock in my front hubs every so often and drive a little in 2x4 just to slosh the oil around and keep everything wet and happy.

So are you running a different size tire up front right now? If so don't try 4x4 as it will put a lot of stress on the transfer case and other drive line parts.

I'd definitely change the pump since you are already in there that far. So it made a racket when the oil and water started to mix? Good job so far, .
