    We rebuild light duty cylinder heads in house. As long as the crack isn’t into the deck surface we machine the crack out when counterboring for oversized hardened seats, no welding necessary. 6.2 and 6.5 headgasket failures are not exactly common unless they are abused or subjected to cylinder...

    M1031 Build

    I wanted to do 37's strictly due to final drive ratio's but I am going to use this truck every now and then as a service truck and it was going to be a little to tall with 37's. The cummins actually fits very well. They are getting a little spendy but I have accumulated a few over the years...

    You are correct, it is a grenade with the pin out if you modify it. I personally think the majority of the issues with stock 6.2's in these cucv's is excessive rpm's due to gearing.

    I'm guessing the light bar was not a military-installed part? It does work perfectly though so it's gonna stay! For now I'm gonna keep it as is, don't want to put much $$ into the drivetrain, I've got a 12v cummins and 47re that will eventually make its way into it. The generator/governor works...

    Made a few changes to the M1031 I recently picked up. 4" lift (ORD rear shackle flip, BDS front springs) 35's on black steel wheels painted green. Led headlights. Pretty happy with how it turned out, actually rides pretty good for a square body. Rear driveline angles are not right but I can't...
