    NV4500 Swap into Stock 6.2 Diesel / TH400 / NP208 M1028/M1008 - COMPLETED

    I used a hydraulic clutch pedal assembly and it bolted right in after drilling the pre dimpled holes on the firewall. It was a real bear getting the pedal assembly in but it all functions.

    Long post (questions, tips) about turboing a 6.2 with 6.5 parts

    I've had my m1009 turbo'd for many years. Started with a gm4 turbo and moved to an HX35 off of a 12v a few years ago. It typically makes 15+ psi of boost at higher rpm's (it actually goes past that but my gauge only goes to 15). My egt's see 850ish pre turbo. I'm not sure I've ever seen it over...

    ORD complete lift system for 1986 K30. The build begins. Any help+++

    Quite the list! Did you see their new extended shock towers for the front? I’d see if they’d add those on and swap shocks accordingly

    TR-6060 transmission on a M1010? Anybody done it?

    Interesting you’d want a car transmission in your cucv. Carry on. the nv4500 is pretty great though

    TR-6060 transmission on a M1010? Anybody done it?

    I wonder if the OP meant the TR-4050 which is a solid replacement for the nv4500.

    ORD complete lift system for 1986 K30. The build begins. Any help+++

    I went with hangers from CFM industries that allows the use of 64" springs out back and 56" and mounts in the stock location

    Are you keeping stock length springs front and rear?

    M1008 NV4500 swap

    If you’ve got a late model with the internal slave you can just use that setup. The AA setup moves it externally if you buy the added bracket, that’s what I have in my m1009. You can also just use it with mechanical linkage like a standard square body but I have no done it personally.

    TR-6060 transmission on a M1010? Anybody done it?

    My turbo 6.2 is fine in Colorado.

    Converting my M1008 to 12v with a 454/ ended up going 5.3 LS with 4l80

    And how’s it driving? I assume much more usable power

    Turbo Options 6.2

    I can say this was not my experience in any way. I maybe have $1000 in my setup and that’s with changing things over time and ultimately buying an hx35 adapter kit and aftermarket intake manifold a few years ago. There are plenty of write ups on here to guide people. I also built mine in a...

    Turbo Options 6.2

    My hx35 whistles quite a bit.

    Never thought I'd be posting about a turbo

    I went from sagging oem to poly and it’s for sure smoother and less vibration. That’s my opinion though, results may vary.

    Brake upgrade options

    I haven’t driven it with them yet but I had an 07 Sierra with them and they were great. I can’t stand the single piston d60 ones. I also had the calipers already, bought Yukon brand hubs and turned them down on a manual lathe and then the rotors just slip right over.

    Brake upgrade options

    There’s a company that allows you to put modern 2500 brakes or dodge brakes on a Dana 60. I’ve got the 2500 setup with slip on rotors
