High load at low RPM causes lugging.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
So like during a tractor pull? Or pulling a trailer slowly uphill?High load at low RPM causes lugging.
basically balanced and blueprinted? I wonder what that would cost?I believe the solution to this problem would be to have the entire rotating assembly machined and balanced as close to perfect spec as possible. I've read that the cranks are a little out of spec from the factory, and that the pistons and rods are not weight matched very well.
I didn't think that's what this thread5 pages deep and not 1 comment on how to maintain or repair a CUCV.
I've had crankshafts for gas V8's balanced for $60. I think the whole blueprint job costs about $120 ish. With a little know how and a scale you can weight match the pistons and rods yourself.basically balanced and blueprinted? I wonder what that would cost?

I have two 6.2's sitting in my driveway right now, one is bone stock the other I rebuilt(stock) with the exception of balancing the rods and pistons (rings on) I also 'ported and polished 'heads and manifolds. It is the smoothest and quietest 6.2 I've ever seen. I do have to admit tho I never owned a brand new truck with a 6.2 so maybe they all were like that when new but I doubt it.I've had crankshafts for gas V8's balanced for $60.
