    CUCV wiring woes

    If you want to keep it simple , mess with your wireing harness as little as possible. if the STE/Ice port is not bothering you, don't bother it Cutting it out could cause a world of hamberger with no gain. Also, altering the wiring will lower it's resale value.

    vibration at 55mph in m1008

    can anyone tell me if this is a gear reduction starter

    There are two starter noses available for the 6.2. one is listed for 4x4s and has very little gap between the starter drive gear and the housing. Both starters work on all engines, as far as I know, but the 4x4 one lets less debris though.
