Whilst swapping out a rear axle assy, I found out that stubborned ubolts that won't back off with my best 1/2" impact, were no match whatsoever for the 1" impact.

The low power 6.2 isn't going to be particulary happy having to work that hard. That swap would not be on my radar. The truck would suffer everywhere else. You coukd achieve similar results with a 700R4 and even gain a deeper 1st gear. Overdive would likely only be a downhill or with the wind gear.

Any pics of your new ride? Since it's and auto trans, the PTO is off the case the tranny willnrun winch direction just like Bob said.

I agree with this 100% but in GL land it will likley be woth almost nothing.

Everything at GL should be considered scrap. Always save auction pics. Pics you take will likely not matter to them unless you get th he GL rep in the picture as well.

Joe, do you have any more of those kits? Google netted nothing.Reference the alternators, both CUCV alternators are identical. It's their position on the truck that dictates the need for the isolated ground. Both have stud for STE/ICE equipment but only the drivers side uses it.

Interesting. Will add this to the knowledge base.

Loose converter bolts right?

It's a seam sealer. I dig out the cracked factory stuff, refill it with this stuff and after it sets up, paint it. Works great and lasts.

Any idea how long before you folks can register and (legally) drive your trucks?

I use a product from Loctite. PL S30. It's a roof and flashing sealer and it works wonderfully. Paintable as well. It works wonders on roof seam on ambulances, shelters, RVs and more

I would also consider a load test of your batteries. Low voltage = high heat.

Folks have been making them lately.

Get a no contact infra red temp gun. let it run and start scanning the area of the exhaust manifold at each exhaust port. Find the cold one and start there.

Since it's a no cost option, wedge them on there and check it out for yourself. I run BFG Mud Terrains (255/85R16) on my ambulance and I'm going to switch over all of my CUCVs to them. They aren't cheap and I'm fretting buying 12 more but they are that nice!

It's showing up at more and more gas stations. There is a Valero (I think) right on Murphy Hwy in Blairsville that sells it. Not that you want to drive there, just to illustrate that it's becoming more prevalent as folks learn of it's existence.

Not necessarliy. Rec90 is readily available and it's an ethanol free fuel. Despite the fact that ethanol costs more to produce, government subsidies keep the price of pickled (ethanol) fuel lower than the Rec90. With that said, how much will the ole girl get driven? I keep Rec90 at the house...

What are the symptoms? How long does it take to start the truck when hot? Cold? Need more info. If it's leaking down fuel and you are leaning on it for 4 or 5 minutes, things are going to get hot. Chickens fry, starters fail. Was the last failed starter diagnosed?

I just purchased an SM465 and 205 case for one of my trucks. I'm about 75% done with parts gathering. 2002ford has an 88-91 crew cab with a 6.2 and SM and reports that it's a world of difference going to the 4 speed. The 1.96 to 1 low won't be so bad with the low first of the 465.

Changed the title so the next guy with a problem and the motivation to search can find it.
