Went to visit a friend of mine at a local city garage and he mentioned they had a wrecker and 2 dump trucks. They still had the radio mounts, antannae mounts, and the wiring. I asked and he said I could have it if I didnt short the truck out. So I will take a few pics tomorrow and show you...

Ive been tracking down air leaks for the past week. I know my firetrucks can sit usually for days without being started and still hold pressure. My deuce will not hold air over 4hrs. I located a device on the firewall which I believe is the governor. Fixed a leak there. The emergency gladhand...

Seen airpack rebuild kits on ebay around $10.

When I picked up my deuce from Camp Shelby they gave me all of the maintainence records from around 1980-on, and a floppy disk which I assume is the same. While cleaning it out I found a drink box, looked like it was grape flavor. The box is in arabic. Just found an extra window crank in it...

Sounds like the alt has died again. Before taking it back and throttling the rebuilder for shoddy work check all grounds Are clean and tight. Make sure all batt leads are tight and connections are good. Test both batts and if they aren't Hovering in the 12v range, replace. After that the truck...

The flywheels are different. Run a search in this section, I know its been asked before. While a fella could run a different tranny I believe the Key difference is that trannys that come off of diiesels are vaccuum controled while other trannys are electronicly controled. Lotta crap to Convert...

When I ran unleaded in mine driving it back from Shelby it did not want to idle either. I dont know enough to say if the FDC is bypassed or not but what helped was draining water/fuel out of the primary. Could there be an issue with air getting into the lines as well?

I'd like a diagram/pics of ur set up redneck along with the rest of you guys to compare. I can't get mine apart to even take off. I did assemble a bunch of parts for the purpose of running tools and I'm using a 3/8" hose with a gladhand connect. Figured it would keep the air flowing to the tool...

I've consulted the manual to no avail. Is the 1/4 turn valve that shuts off the air to the emergency gladhand a regular, run of the mill 3/4" valve? Mine appears to be leaking. I will probably end up thrashing that whole assembly to replace it. Things that old don't want to come apart easy.

I couldnt agree more. While the engine has never left me stranded per se, I now have a truck with a rebuilt tranny and inj pump due to age. Cold starting in extreme winter temps can usually be overcome with a simple block heater pump or small shot of ether in the mouth of the air cleaner (be...

Found some seats and now I'm looking for the bow kit. And please don't mention memphis.

Where did you find a diagram with measurements? I may be building this thing from scratch.

Pg 354 - 360 shows what Im looking for but doesnt give dimensions on the height of the stakes or the height of the front cargo protective rack. Someone help a brother out?

bump twice

There hasnt been a blazer soft top sinc Kayline quit a few years ago. That link has said theyve been "looking for a supplier" for a couple of years. Good luck and do post if you find a blazer soft top. BTW the 1008 is the pick up, im guessing he wants the cargo cover and bows for a pick up...

bump once

In the morning when I get in the blazer sometimes the Wait to Start light comes on, or flickers, or doesnt. I have a manual gP button I push anyway so its not a huge ordeal but the Water in Fuel light blinks simultaneously with it. If the road is rough or I slam the door they will also...

Might post thiis to the hummer guys since its one of their motors. Im not as versed on the minute niuansces of the HMMV 6.2 and the CUCV...

Check the fuel return line injector. I would bet it is clogging up. Its on the front of the motor, top and has a J or horse shoe shaped hose on it. Pull the hose off the injector and then take the injector off. Hold the injector up to the light while looking through and it should be clear or...
