Question: do the bosch have wide blade terminals or narrow for the cucv?

I have bought several of sets from him, most don't make it a year. Everytime I call and tell them they have failed he gives me an earfull about honoring the warrenty. I need new glow plugs again, so I will not buy from him or the wellmans anymore, I am going to switch to Bosch. Thank's...

Yes, having to be able to split gears would be nice when towing or when off road. As for the drive shaft length the 700r4-NP208 comination is only a 1/2 an inch longer than the turbo 400-NP208 so no drive shaft modification is necessary, if the customer is concerned about driveline vibration I...

At: Trukhead and Natem, Here is the link to one of my builds, I don't want to hyjack this thread. Yes I know links can go dead, sorry. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?73275-Friend-s-truck-conversion-from-turbo-400-NP208-too-a-700r4-NP205

If you look in the TM it states that 30 seconds of cranking is normal, followed by 2 minutes of cool down.....then repeat.

#2 fuel line is the shortest one, I have noticed if you try to bleed the rear fuel lines it creates an air lock in the shorter ones, this is just my oberservation so far. I should also mention I have someone help me, they crank while I crack open #2, once I get fuel I tighten it down. Usually...

Yes, I should mention after 30 seconds of cranking I let starter cool for 2 minutes.

I have 2 m1008's, both are daily drivers. They do break down from time to time but overall they are pretty reliable. one of them has the 700r4 swap done, it gets about 18-22 mpg. other still has the turbo 400 and gets about 15-16 mpg. As for the 6.2........well lets me start first with I...

Try starting from the fuel filter first, crack the screw on the top of filter, once you have fuel there close it. I then crack open cylinder #2 fuel line and start cranking, once I have fuel there I close it. Then I crank till it starts, usually it only takes about 30 seconds to a minute of...

Looks like a lot of problems to install the GV unit. I have done 20 or more 700r4 swaps, usually cost's only about 1200 dollars for the total bill. I can have the whole swap done in about 10 hours, don't have to shorten or lengthen driveshafts and only have to run two wires for torque...

Could you post a pic of the heater a/c control unit in the dash?

It wanders due to poor steering geometry, this is more pronounced when you lift it. You will need to do a cross over steering setup to elimenate this problem. http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/Dana60crossover.htm there's a link to one comany that sell a kit. Also bad spring bushings...

Ok thanks Maxx, Looks like Joel and I and maybe one more will also be there!

I run a small chevy repair shop, so I would be willing to do it for you but you do live about 6 hours away.

The 700r4 is not a bad trans, I have done several of these swaps. 700r4 + np208 and 700r4 + np205. I have been running my cucv with a 700r4 + np208 for 2 years now with no issues, of course I have stock tires. If your worried about trans breaking there are a few simple upgrades that can be...

I have done a couple of these builds, I have used NP208's and NP205's, Also if you want to use the NP205 with the 32 spline, advance adapters has a kit for that. I however used the np 205, adapter, and the sleeve from behind a turbo 350, used a 2 inch spacer and cut about an inch off the tail...

You might have a bad ground? Are the lights pointed up high enough? When I got my trucks home the lights seemed extremely dim, I adjusted them up...........whaaala! they have been bright ever since......simple!

If it were me and the 6.5 is all mechanical (early 90's 6.5) I would just swap whole motor and trans. much easier than trying to mate the nv4500 to the 6.2, and trying to fit the turbo on the 6.2 is a pain from what I hear. If the 6.5 has A/C then there is another bonus, plus I think there is...

6bt dry weight is 1100 lbs. so figure around 1300 fully dressed (alt., A/C, etc.) with all the fluids. A Duramax dry weight is 836 so figure around 1036 fully dressed with fluids, the 6.2 weight is 700 so figure around 850 fully dressed with fluids(holds half as much fluids as the cummins and...
