So no update? How bad was it? Interesting that you snapped a pic instead of grabbing a fire extinguisher.

No one mentioned replacing the thermostat and belts too.

That's just the auxiliary cold weather engine heater.

The problem is simple, the truck is sitting in your driveway in Tx when it would look and sound much nicer sitting in my drive!

I didn't hear a click from the glow plug solenoid, that may be because I'm half or not. Check the GP's and check for fuel, no matter what or how many mods have been done it still needs heat, air and fuel to to start.

Hate to derail this thread but has everyone changed over the summer air to winter air? Do it soon or else! As to the OP's question, from the post it seems the starter is turning and the engine is too, this time of year is when bad batteries and bad glow plugs start to show up. Assuming the truck...

No matter what year your title says order parts for a 1984 Chevy Blazer or C30 pick up with a 6.2L j code engine.

Now's a real good time to change those hinge bushings!

Keep it, it's a factory part and so much better than aftermarket!

Those bent valve look streamlined, sell them on ebay as a custom 'go fast' part.

I used to have a turn buckle that fit between the two pullys and extend outward and tighten the belt, notice I said "used to have "? Don't loan out tools and expect them back!

I know this is not applicable to the OP's case now but I'm going to tell the story anyway. Many years ago when I was young and broke I needed a car and couldn't afford much, I found a 73 Duster with a 225 six in it for $75! That was right up my ally, problem was it not only smoke badly but blew...

Excuse me, but isn't this the pot calling the kettle black? I read the posts, the OP asked for thought/opinions and he got them. BTW I agree a low mileage tranny sitting on a shelf for 30 years would be suspect. I learned that the hard way but YMMV.

This sounds overly simple maybe to the point of being stupid, but while your checking lines and weights and such make sure you check the fluid level. Yours wouldn't be the first trans to slip going up a hill when low on ATF.

I also 'glue' them on but I also just snug them up and wait a few hours or a day and then give the bolts another 1/4 turn to tighten.

Thanks for getting back with the 'fix', it sucks when people leave you hanging and you never know if they got it fixed.

In the past I've fought with sticky drums on cars and trucks, in a couple cases I used a grinder and ground the the heads off the brake shoe hold down nails and then removed (still not easy) everything at once. If you don't know the 'nails' are what holds the shoe to the backing plate and can be...

Go for it! CUCVUS is right up the road if you miss!

Not being a wise ass but it's obvious that something was hooked up wrong, Are you sure about the connections? A look in the TM's should give the correct connections. Just a guess but did you hook Pos.to Pos.? as in a 12 volt system ?
