    CUCV 1009 daily driver?

    I have had mine now for a year and drive it as much as possible, And as others have said I spend a couple hundred a month on repair and upgrades and it has not let me down. I fixed the leaf spring sagging by having the springs re arched and am very happy with them. It has now become my daily...

    Engine & transmission swap questions

    300k miles on the engine and 500k when the truck was sold how many miles did the Chevy have when the swap was done? If it was 200k miles in the 79 chevy! how many years did it take to rack up those miles? The power output is not being disputed, It is just not a weekend swap like some might...

    Engine & transmission swap questions

    I never said it was impossible just more expensive and difficult that it was being portrayed. Why do you feel the need to slam the good folks on this forum with the diesel forum remark? No one on this forum giving you info and feedback said anything about not being able to solve these...

    Engine & transmission swap questions

    I would think that a m1008 with 4.56 gears would run out of gear long before power, So with the cost of the Cummins swap you would then have to add the cost of a gear swap to get the full use of the new found power from the Cummins with its shorter rpm range. Like I have said there are so many...

    Engine & transmission swap questions

    Maybe your labor is free, But you still will have lots of time involved and my time is very valuable. How about the condition of the donor motor, Do you think you are buying a brand new fresh Cummins in your donor truck? The donor motor may be in worse shape than you think. Will the tranfer case...

    Engine & transmission swap questions

    If you think that you are only going to have 5k into all the parts and labor to do the swap you have not done as much research as you think. If cost is all that your concerned with then just use the dodge that came wrapped around the Cummins to begin with.

    CUCV rim needed - NE OH

    Yes what the heck is with the lug nut seats on these? Mine are pretty bad, I located some rally wheels that are very close to the Military wheels and I will be using those.
