Sorry Rick. I forgot about your stockpile of parts. Guess I’m getting old.

Just tell John what you have and what you need and he will fix you up.

If your truck has the OEM TH400 transmission and NP208 transfer case, the adapter is GM part #14020861. Shown as item #3 in Figure 81 in the -34P TM. Also don't forget the gaskets 14020854 and 8623216. The adapter is probably readily available from John at Hillbilly Wizard...

Now boys, please behave. All that 6.2 needs is a new Turbo Encabulator.

Here's a very informative PDF which explains and illustraates the entire dash electrical system. Can't remember who on here posted it a while back, but it is certainly one of the best documents I have ever seen pertaining to the CUCV dash lights. There are only three (3) bulbs which illuminate...

I use a large-size paper clip between the starter gear and flex plate.

I have had excellent service from Huckstorf Diesel in Wisconsin. John Huckstorf is, in my opinion, extremely knowledgable on these pumps and can set the fuel at whatever flow rate you want. He can also furnish you any part you need, such as hybrid lines to marry a mechanical punp to newer 6.5...

Cross-over steering and a sway bar will not work together. So I took my sway bar off and threw it away. Zero problems and much more articulation.

Driver front = idiot water temp Passenger rear = high idle Driver top rear = glow plug sensor.

Hopefully soon. I've had 6 surgeries and 2 heart attacks since I started this project. Things seem to be settling down, so maybe this fall I can pull the front clip off and get the show on the road. Rest assured, I will keep my rebuild thread active as soon as the fireworks start.

Say.......... what engine is going to be in that thang?

Stan’s Headers. Www.stans-headers.com

Yeah my windows were hard to operate after I rebuilt them. I used some dry lithium lubricant in the channels and that seemed to help. Can’t remember exactly what I used, heck it’s been years. They seem to be better now after up and down numerous times. Your A/C freezing up is due to an improper...

That kinda reminds me of the gas tank on Peter Fonda's motor sickle.

Nice work John. I wish I had that thang.

So........ what happened to the engine swap vehicle?

In my opinion, your easist swap, and to gain power, will be a later model 6.5 turbo diesel. Everything will bolt-up just like the 6.2 without modification, except for the turbo exhaust and plumbing. This engine will bolt-up directly to your original TH400 transmission, however most folk opt...

Outstanding again! Thanks!

Outstanding. Thanks for your time and effort to prepae and provide this. Extremely helpful.

Rick - I really like your pegboard set-up on the wall and how neatly you have arranged all your precision tools. I wish I could get mine looking that good.
