If you do find one and it has any parts there are lots of us who need stuff out there so post up don't just scrap it out. Heck I need a griddle and poles for mine just to start.

Well, You will probably know your truck better than 80% of those driving them now.

By the way both of mine were bought for under $1500 but prices have risen in the past couple of years.

The pictures have ALWAYS matched what I was bidding on. I take copies with me when I win just in case. A blazer can be recovered with a standard car trailer and a winch if necessary (Or GL may load it on the trailer if your real nice and they say loading assistance is available). I have been...

Welcome to SS. Having been here a while now I recommend reading a lot of the posts here and using the search function. You can learn tons from this site about your potential problems, how to recover your truck, rough costs, fuel saving, temp fixes and modifications, chances are whatever you want...

Clean ALL of your battery connections and lube with dielectric grease. Clean all frame connections to ground and lube with dielectric grease. Same for the starter. When I say clean I mean sand or file down till the metal shines. If the starter doesn't spin the engine over fast enough it won't...

Check glow plugs, no wait light means the engine is hot or the glow plugs are bad. Have you done the doghead relay yet? I still think you should run off a fuel can to eliminate any pin holes in the metal fuel lines bringing air into the system. When trouble shooting I always try to isolate...

Thanks guys. Have a great rally!

Unfortunately I will miss this years rally as there has been a death in our family. I will miss you guys but I need to be there for my wife right now. Raise a glass for me:beer:

LOL coldwarrior.....bad.....:-D

Awesome! Way to work with the local LEO's!

Very cool! Now any idea how much? Because that drive how many are interested. I am interested but it has to be reasonable.

+1 on the RV sealant. They are SO GREAT THOUGH!!!! I just sealed mine before I painted it. Lots off good builds on this site also.[thumbzup]

Totally true. No complaints of diesel smell, even when you cut it by 30% with regular diesel. I think my 300sd benz actually runs better on centrifuged WVO blend than real diesel. Quieter, smoother idle and less smoke too.

Let us know if it runs (for more than 2 days) Heck you are going to have a new truck after all this work you have put into it.:beer:

Wouldn't hurt to pull it and clean it out just to be sure, The valve that is not the solenoid. Just make sure it clicks. You can give it fuel after it starts but lay off when trying to start her.

Don't put your foot on the pedal when trying to start, AT ALL. Mine is funny that way, If you touch the pedal when trying to start it forget it... I don't know why I didn't think about mentioning it before.

Real dumb question but you didn't put gas in a diesel right? There's a lot of Gasoline talk going on just making sure. Otherwise I concur with crap in the tank. If it ran good for two days then the problem returned as they say "There's your sign"

no problem just checking.

Heck for 1.5 million it should at least have missles, even if they are just glorified bottle rockets
