    Considering a M1008 Cucv.... Thoughts

    It might be possible to find the serpentine belt system from a civilian 6.2 or 6.5 then do the conversion to A/C and a single alternator with that.

    Considering a M1008 Cucv.... Thoughts

    6.2 is a good engine. There is a lot of up rated components that can be had for them, nothing much for more power other than a turbo kit. The SB pickups swaps in a Cummins 5.9 quite easily too. Along with an overdrive transmission and those low gears of the differentials, that`d be a pulling...

    New Chevy 5500 4x4 pictures

    Nice to see that they went back to the good old reliable front axles on these, or, maybe they have been like this all along ? I have worked on the 7000 series 4X4 trucks but I do not remember what axle they were using under the front end. The Ford 9000 series had two center carrier bearings to...

    What should 4x4 with axle shafts that have U Joints rather than CV behave?

    Relax, if they was odd gear ratios the truck would not move more than a few feet and it would be bound so bad it`d either come to an abrupt halt or else bust a whole bunch of real expensive items. Bumping and jumping in 4X4 when turning is normal.

    SM465 fluid - i used gear lube, maybe synthetic gear lube - what now

    The old four speed units all used motor oil, or so I`m a thinking. If not the Montana DOT been doing it all wrong for a lot of years. LOL I know the newer overdrive units uses some kind of a friction modified stuff to allow the synchros to properly function. Might be someone will come in and...

    Obscure casting numbers

    Thank You guys for the reply. I`ll get over to the shed and do some measuring of the bore and check to see if the center cylinders are siamesed. It had been so many years ago since the block had been bored, and the old timer has passed on, that I dont know. I do know that I had taken a 400 block...

    Obscure casting numbers

    The casting numbers on this block were mighty sloppily cast from the factory. This is a four bolt main, can anyone tell Me, is this a 350 or is this a 400. I was told by the old timer that bored the block that it is a 400. I have no inside mics. so I cant measure the cylinders. It did clean at...

    T-10 was a car transmission and very desirable. They will work in a pickumup application, especially a drag race application. LOL

    gm big block v6?

    Years ago I had a 1967 GMC with the 305 V6. I run straight pipes on that truck. It had the cooles sound, almost like an airplane cruising. The 305 was not huge on power but they would run forever. There also were diesel in this engine design. Not sure what internals was different but pistons for...

    Question concerning Hydroboost Power Steering Pump

    PS pump on My truck has that stinking VOV system. I need to get the components and eliminate that thing. Put a load on the front receiver hitch and the steer wheel will not turn. Just a bad kind of a deal.

    Question concerning Hydroboost Power Steering Pump

    Just be sure that the pump You use does not have the VOV system. You will know it by the two wires sticking out the back side. If it does have the VOV system, it can be eliminated with components from and older pump or, buy the conversion kit from GM or other sources.

    Is.... this a cylinder... sleeve? Do guys run them?

    Top of the piston should have numbers and or letters stamped on it, use those numbers, do a search on the innernet and it should yield some infuhrmayshun. :Caffeine: I once did rebuild a Farmall M, replaced the sleeves and pistons but I do not remember what they looked like.
