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.

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. 👍 👍

wouldn't be better for you to switch the back beds between the blue one and the tan one (4 door)? I think it'll look better.

Yeah I thought about that the only problem is the blue truck is a cab and chassis truck and my tan truck has a pickup length chassis. The axle is in different spots.
