So I've been looking for a good off-road project, and I found a few of these former military CUCVs (Blazers and pickups) for sale, with the 6.2 Diesel..I have a few questions regarding these trucks. Also, kind of new to the whole off-roading thing.
1. I haven't found these trucks as options for any of the off-road suspension catalogs I've looked at online, what suspension/other parts are interchangeable from the civilian line of chevy trucks of the same generation?
2. What kind of issues are endemic to the 6.2 Diesel?
3. What sort of engine/drivetrain modification, if any should be done (other than your axles/driveshafts) for off-roading?
Obviously I'm a little new to this but I'm pretty interested, and I figured these vehicles would be a good choice for off-roading, I haven't heard anything bad about them, etc.
