Well, although a relative newbie CUCV owner, I can at least assuage your fears about the 6.2. Statistically, it's a very reliable package. And the 6.2 in CUCV is the "J" code version, designed by GM for use in heavy duty applications and not available in the civilian counterparts to the CUCV (at...

Thank god for our police and military. The thin blue and green lines that save us from ever being a "police state..."

Sure will! And I'm sure there weren't be a shortage of B.S., uh, conversation when we meet up. Nothing solid yet. We're kinda thinking it might be best to wait a few weeks until after the 1st. We'll keep you posted but don't hesitate to agitate!

Welcome aboard. CUCVfreek and I are planning a NorCal MV meet and greet soon, probably after Christmas. Watch for it! That goes for you too, Big Mike... Enjoy your CUCV!

BoT :-D back at you... I'm a bit of a newbie, but man. As you know I've been through the CUCV starting issues! (thankfully resolved BTW... intermittent bad gp control card)

Best of luck. Been through it. Sure could be the card...

BoT, are you joking? Isn't that what we said? I just noted that from the picture I couldn't tell if the card and the cap were also there...

Yup glow plug controller card plug in receptacle. Their should be a card plugged inside it and there should be a cover cap over it. Can't tell from the pic if it's there...

Well, for all the reasons, I stated above, I recommend conversion for most folks. But if you have the resources, skill and are thoroughly familiar with the TMs, no reason 24v can't be left alone.

Congrats! I know how good it feels to get it running after a vexing problem...

LTC, you are THE MAN!!!! Congratulations and thanks!

Roger all that... My Siberian Husky is the queen of running dreams. I'm sure she's pulling a sled across the Klondike...

Great to hear your pal's recovery. I predict he'll live a long life indeed. Like I say, Bear's 13 now, 1/2 blind and still acts like a puppy. His quailty of life is high, he doesn't know his limitations and I'm going to enjoy him as long as I can...

Sorry. Another double post. But as soon as I fixed everything else and then put another set of new GPs in, it's been a dream. Light at the end of the tunnel!

Same exact thing happened to me. Destroyed new Wellman 070s through repeated starting attempts and no start. Are they too bulged to come out? There are specialized extraction tools for that but I've never done it. Do a forum search; it's been discussed here. And again. My issues were a...

Well, since we're voting... IF you have the patience, resources, sense of humor, and willingness to fail and learn, I'd say... GO FOR IT!!!!! What reservoir of great memories you'll have for the rest of your life. Even the calamities, major and minor will be remembered with a laugh. And you...

Sorry, I may have led you astray initially. And I'm still concerned about the wait light behavior. But the air/fuel leak-filter base flaw can exhibit those symptoms and create a hard start condition. I went through the whole merry chase myself, and needed both the GP card and the fuel filter...

Swapping the filter is a no brainer. Just release the top and bottom clips and remove and replace. Check the TMs. Be careful though. Move the filter straight in and out over the input and output pipes. HOWEVER, it's very possible the leak is coming from the filter base. They must be replaced are...

AC 60Gs DEFINITELY...

It's a brute of truck and should meet all your requirements if it's in decent shape. Note with the 6.2 and the gearing it will be no speed demon. So expect low freeway speeds if you do a lot of that kind of driving in transit to jobs. 50-55mph tops for safe operation I would think.
