Yes, that's the controls for the fording air system. I posted the whole install a few months ago.

Now that's my idea of tailgating ! [thumbzup]

That's what I just finished this summer. Last year I replaced all the cab mounts and this year all the spring bushings. Your right about any OEM bushing being bad. My truck has 50,000 original miles on it but "every" bushing on it was SHOT Rubber will not last more then 20 years. I don't care...

It's very easy to talk now. My M1028 is actually louder now with it's new low restriction mufflers. Of course you cannot roll-down the windows or open the front windshield and talk. Just so you know I also put DynaMat in the doors. That really helped with the vibration noise on the road.

That's what makes this site stand-out. The willingness of the old members to help out the newer members with their problems.

I almost went with a 454 engine in mine, but the lack of fuel economy made me go with the 383 Hi-Torque instead. My best friend has the 454 and he gets 8 miles a gallon. Towing or coasting down a hill only 8 miles per gallon ! He was the one who convinced me in the end. I really liked the idea...

Why not use the CH42 plugs ? You can buy them for a real good price on Amazon now.

I had the same problem a few months ago. It was the socket ground. Buy some new sockets and be done with the problem. I keep a spare socket in my glove box now.

Too bad your down there in Florida ! It costs a pretty penny to ship anything anymore.

That was the primary reason to put the DynaMat on the floor. I hate to have my feet burning on a long trip.

Yes they can be rebuilt but it will cost a pretty penny unless you have a rebuild center near you. Even then it might be cheaper to just buy another new one.

Honestly unless your going to be revving up this 454 engine I would leave the torque converter and shift points alone. For a torque engine they would be about perfect now with the settings from the 6.2 diesel. You will be using a vacuum modulator and that can be adjusted if you need a little...

Your buddy installed a MEP-003 in a bus conversion ?!?!?! With almost no sound ? To tell you the truth that sounds insane ! Why on earth waste that much weight (800 Ibs) capability with a huge ass generator ? As a bus mechanic I can tell you that you do not want to isolate that rear engine...

The CUCV's do not have in tank fuel pumps. A regular pump will work just fine.

I have the "D" turbo and a decent muffler.

That link goes to a Boutique store ! Not any "Devil Hounds" site. He must be an old Marine to have "teufelhunden" in his stores name.

Can you upload those manuals you have ? Thanks.

That is a really good fuel pump and a great price.

Home Depot sells a heavy garage mat that I plan on using for the floor. It will have to go in in sections though since the hump is not a perfect square.

I know the results are not that good but I still need to finish installing the rear window and there are several gaps on the firewall (like the steering column area) that need covering. I have a hard top and did install DynaMat there too. I also need to install a heavy floor-mat. Also my door...
