    M1009 25 Gal. Fuel Tank Straps

    Aree you sure it's a 25 gal. tank? I thought they came 20,30 and maybe a 40 gal. I'd start by measuring the tank and go from that.

    CUCV Door Locks

    Or he can just dump all the pins and springs out of the cyl. and any key that physically fits in the lock will turn the cylinder. I don't know why anyone would want that but I'm just the messenger.

    My first 6.2 swap thread

    If the engine is locked up forget it, it's not worth rebuilding as every moving part will have damage. As far as a step by step R&I of the engine, look in the TM (maybe?) or buy a 'how to' book at Auto Zone or online that covers 84 Chevy pick ups .

    Clear coat over latex paint

    Adding clear to an existing color coat is going to present problems with adhesion, lifting ect. It will also still have the 'stickyness' that any other flat paint has making it hard to clean, if you go with a semi gloss then you have the shine and that isn't very OEM looking.

    M1009 Harmonic balancer

    I don't remember what I paid for my GM dampener but it wasn't much more then the cheaper Dorman one and I rarely even consider Dorman products. Use the GM!

    Tips to strip the top battery brackets?

    Heat, use a torch and burn it off. Just remove it from the truck first!

    M1031 Steering noise

    Totally unfamiliar with your set up so just tossing this out there, is the pump/reservoir mounted with rubber mounts? Ifso are any worn or bent? I know it's a long shot but $600 a pretty big chunk. Good luck.

    Gear Vendors Overdrive

    Never had a Gear Vender OD but I do know they can only be used in 2 wheel drive because they mount after the TC. Any older truck junk yards down around you? If so look around in the old 1 and 2 ton trucks for a cast iron overdrive unit that mounts in FRONT of the SM465. It moves the tranny back...

    Damaged Socket Question/Advice

    I had a similar problem and was told by 2 local parts suppliers that they could not get that socket, so I took a regular 194 bulb and socket from an old side marker and cut the 'tabs' off the socket and trimmed it for a press fit. Worked great.

    Harbor Freight Winch questions

    I'd post up a pic but it would be a waste, considering it's sitting on the floor of my storage container. Oh well, maybe some day.

    Heater switch melted… Why?

    That switch is available at many auto parts store, the plug is a bit harder to find new.

    LED Taillights?

    I bought a set and the work great, fit good too. Mine have a small micro switch on the back to change them from 'normal' to sequential flashing, that works good and is different. I was worried about water getting in at the switch so smeared it with silicon and then found out the sequential...

    The dim bulb is probably a bad ground, very common.

    Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner Housing

    I think you will get a bit of extra power with a snorkel, but you'd be hard pressed to measure it let alone see it. Where it might (key word) help would be cooler air when going up hill loaded it might (there's that word again) help keep the engine cooler. I did the snorkel to the core support...

    M1008 quick starting causes starter to grind - is this normal?

    No such thing as "starting to fast". You could (as said) be a bit slow releasing the key OR there could be some oil built up on the Bendix and that can cause it to stick a bit.
