good thought on the glow plugs not comming on, you will be able to hear if they are coming on or not by the click of the solinoid try cycling they key on and off a bunch of times before you actuall start it., I always have all my trucks on manual glow plug buttons theres a thread on here about it.
I had a pretty long oil change the ther day in my civy 6.2l k20 / m1031 project. I was totally out of my mind when i forgot that 15-40 is about the consistacy of honey when its left sitting out side in sub zero temps. it was so thick it kept clogging up in the filler neck on the way in........aua
I might have a bunch of them they're the first thing I take off a 6.2, they always leak and cause starting issues especially in the cold
I run 3/8 inline fuel filter, few dollars at NAPA
Ill pm you if i have them floating around still
4 inch lift, 33 x 12.5 toyo all terrains, can go anywhere blazers are the best in the woods and mud
short wheelbase great maneuverability
the weight is distributed evenly front to back more so than a pickup because of the fiberglass top
the gears are high to begin with so i wouldn't go past 33s...
you'll kill a 6.2 if your planning on running around at 3500rpm, the like to run around 2200-2500 2800 being the top of the safe zone.

the truck was junk.
I ended up driving 20 minutes up an unplowed mountain trail to find it stripped out sitting in frozen mud. it clearly hadnt ran in years. the guy was insane, after i told him id give him 500 for it he said "no but ill take on a tour for free" so i ended up spending the...
Kaiser Jeep M715 & M725 parts
seems to have all the brake parts available.
They are the coolest looking
I'm going to look at it tomorrow, if it runs and welds good as i've been told I'll try to get it for 2500, hes asking 2950.
It won't be my primary driver, but I'll be able to make some...
Is it more of an awesome looking truck for parades than a work truck?
