    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    New shoes, 295-75×16 . The fire department regeared it to 4:56 gears, so I went as tall as I could to lower cruising rpms.

    M1009 lacks power

    M1009 lacks power

    When separating oil coolers from radiator you can use a remote oil thermostat, when I separate my oil cooler from radiator I'm going to use a derale products #25792 thermostat in conjunction with a b&m 70274 super cooler. And I do agree with adding a lubricant to modern low sulfer diesel .I use...

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    They do exist, and I am sure your kit is on its way. I am also sure it won't help you with your over heating problems. Between gm and amg the 6.2/6.5 diesel engine has been in production for 36 years and not once have they used a rear cylinder head coolant bypass system. There just isn't any...

    instaling a new diesel motor in my m1008

    There really isn't much more I can say that hasn't been said already. My 1009 has 4.56 gears and 33s, I drive it at 65mph all the time, at 3000 rpms for hours. It likes it and normally runs at 170-180 coolant temperature. And I average 16 mpg.
