    6.5L Turbo refit

    All I did on mine is cut the can in half, thread the rod with a die and then use a lock nut to tension the spring. I'm hitting 10psi at wot (a touch more when cold)

    Replacing the worn Strike Bolts in the door of your M1009

    Hmmm interesting. I wasn't even aware that the strikers were supposed to have plastic. My hinges all seem solid but my strikers are starting to wear flat.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I tried heating up the crossover and using vise grips and that didnt work. Welded on a nut and it snapped off on the inside of the nut. Ended up drilling it out and tapping it. Used PLENTY of anti-seize on it.

    To lock or not to lock the rear?

    The 14ff gov lock is way bigger/beefier than the garbage 10 bolt one. It'll be fine.

    Need a new oil pan, any suggestions?

    That would work as well. I just need something without the arctic box and that's not all bent up and rusty

    Need a new oil pan, any suggestions?

    I've tried searching but it would seem either its not a typical topic or the search isn't functioning as it should. I'm in need of a new oil pan. I have an arctic kit pan currently thats seem better days. It's leaking from the reinforcement plate where the dip stick feeds into it as well as...

    6.5 turbo setup on 6.2, problems with throttle vacuum valve adjustment.

    My under standing is that it's changing the amount of vacuum required. I found a nifty chart in the TM's about elevation and vacuum requirements. Since I'm at nearly 6,000ft I figured worth a shot. I backed the screw out just a half turn. Should lower the vacuum requirements for the trans, or at...

    6.5 turbo setup on 6.2, problems with throttle vacuum valve adjustment.

    I was able to get my shifts pretty close to stock settings. First to second is at about 20mph. I adjusted the vacuum sensor as far back as I could and then adjusted the modulator at the trans.

    6.5L Turbo refit

    What I did on mine was cut off the top maybe 4" of the drivers side crossover and mated it to a flowmaster 6.5 crossover (that also needed cutting and modifying).

    6.5 turbo setup on 6.2, problems with throttle vacuum valve adjustment.

    I don't have the means to make such a spacer. I have good news and bad news. Good news is, it looks like the top portion of the sensor can be rotated 90*. Bad news is I broke the one on my truck trying to be lazy and modify it on the truck. Inside the top portion is a spring attached to what...

    6.5 turbo setup on 6.2, problems with throttle vacuum valve adjustment.

    Does anybody know what this would adjust? Looks like it adjusts the sensor on the body but I'm not sure if that'll do what I need.

    6.5 turbo setup on 6.2, problems with throttle vacuum valve adjustment.

    It's the completely open intake manifold.

    6.5 turbo setup on 6.2, problems with throttle vacuum valve adjustment.

    If the vacuum fittings weren't angled up I think it would clear just fine. 1/4" would certainly do it but I don't have the means for making a spacer like that. I can't get a good picture of it, too many things in the way.

    6.5 turbo setup on 6.2, problems with throttle vacuum valve adjustment.

    Yea I've got it rotated as far back as it'll go right now and it's touching the manifold. My shift points are later than I'd like. Second is roughly 25 and third about 40.

    6.5 turbo setup on 6.2, problems with throttle vacuum valve adjustment.

    It's the hose and very end of the vacuum fitting that's interfering.

    6.5 turbo setup on 6.2, problems with throttle vacuum valve adjustment.

    Hey guys, ive installed a 6.5 turbo setup in my m1009 and I'm having trouble adjusting the throttle vacuum valve to get my shift points back to where they were because of the intake manifold coming into contact with the upper vacuum fitting. Does anybody have a trick to getting it to clear...
