    Have watched your channel for some time. Enjoyed most. Your are a lucky guy living a life your way a luxury most don't have but dream of having.
    But I would like to give some advice, please don't take it as criticism. I am a 62 year old man, for most my life I've been over weight. I suffered from diabetes and hypertension. Five years ago I gave up all carbs and lost 50 lbs. Today l am free of medication and very happy but the damage done is done. So don't wait as long as I did.
    Best wishes

    I recently picked up a m1009 (military blazer) with a 6.2 in it and I've been pleasantly surprised. Its got plenty of cruising around town power and I'm getting 23mpg! Way better than my ls swapped k30.

    the 6.2 crew putting it a lot of work these days. Just as it was intended to. Maybe after I finish my K20 Suburban i'll look for a good dually. There are plenty of them around down here in the Dallas area but just have a bunch on my plate at the moment. Hope to get more knocked out when it starts to dry out. So you're up in Connecticut? I think my pal 5150mxVW is up around there somewhere.

    It's an old truck. The smoke is how you know it's running. That and all the noise under the hood and wherever the exhaust pipe ends.

    Howdy there,
    What's the most youve towed with your 6.2?
    I have two 6.2 J codes, one in a m1008 CUCV (sadly selling the pickup) and one in a Chevy p32 dually step van with the th400.
    I'm thinking of putting a hitch on the p32 and getting a pull behind roughly the size of Cougar or a little bit smaller, but likely with no slide outs.
    I dont plan on towing it around often, for the most part a move from Pennsylvania to Louisiana.
    Yes i actually started daily driving the step van, its been awhile but did for bout 2 years straight years ago. It aint fancy, but it's been the most reliable and cheapest vehicle to maintain I've ever owned, so i cant complain.
    I have considered and might turbo it, but id have to maybe do a center mount type setup cause of clearance with the dog house and stuff. I still might just eventually do it down the road a bit. Ive had it for bout 12 years and will likely keep it another 12, hopefully more.
    Thanks for sharing your videos, keep em coming.
    That crew cab sure is nice.
    👍 👍
