read up on the resistor bypass, sounds like a glow plug cascade failure. An OHM meter is needed to check the plugs individually get a charger on those batteries. strong batteries are important. check glow plugs first and fuel to the injectors second. you should see some temp difference at...

crack a fuel injector line at the injector to see if you are getting fuel that far. check you plugs with OHM meter, just because they were replaced does not mean they are bad again especially if you still have the resistor in place. It only takes fuel and heat and enough revolutions to start a...

check your blackout light switches and fuses. The only relation to changing an alt and lights are not working is either you left off grounds somewhere. You did not disconnect both batts before work and sparked something and blew some fuses possibly put 24v though black out switch and messed it...

to get my 6o and 14. I purchase a 1008 from the gov place and drove to Kansas picked it up, $2200 for the truck, $600 on the trip. parted a lot of it and maybe got $1000 back (the truck was not really a saver) got the axles. spent 300 each getting them worked over added a e-locker for $750 in...

Depending on the years, GM had parts crunches. They could not get all the correct parts so the put what they could get on. I believe this happened some in the 80's but a lot of the 90's trucks got axles heavier than they were supposed to because they ran out of the lighter duty ones. They...

just curious to what hose is not made anymore? I replaced the rubber oil cooler lines last year on my truck and was able to buy them from Oriely's they were a perfect fit. If you are talking about the metal lines then yes, they are not made anymore and you have to get a takeout or change to a...

to much trailer for a blazer. I have 4:56 gears but 39 inch tires so it is like having 3:08 you are better off with th4oo and good trans cooler if you want to pull that much behind a 6.2 you will never use 4th with the load anyway.

most go with the 700r4 due to the no electronics. what you end up with instead of a computer, you have a TV throttle cable that can easily toast your tranny if it gets messed up. The cost between the 700r4 and 4l80e are about the same except for the computer which is $600. The 4l80e is a heavy...

I do not believe their is such a thing a crate 6.2. No one that I knows remanufactures them or even sells rebuilds. It is not a motor with much demand. Rebuild yours. Most likely you just need a head job. If you plan to turbo it, You need to do some other things so I would pull it and start...

may be priced high but looks rust free and that brings a premium. if he can jump it, most likely it has been converted to 12V. Unless he has another military vehicle From the picks under the hood I would guess it is 12V with the resistor bypassed. Everything can be fixed, If he can make it...

if you still have the th400 there is no shift cable, everything is vacuum control. You probably have a vacuum leak or the modulator on your transmission is messed up. since you just did work on the engine, you probably pulled a vacuum line loose or got a hole in one. start with the vacuum...

I am glad you got it resolved. I hope you continue to enjoy your truck as much as I do mine

Pull the fuel line loose from the injection pump. The one that leaves your fuel filter. extend it into a bucket. Turn the truck over and if fuel is pumping out when you turn it over, everything is fine back to the tank, may not be perfect but will not keep the truck from starting. IF you...

I used badger diesel. I put my pump and injectors in a box with a $600 check. 7 days later I had a rebuilt pump (not the same one sent but does not matter) 8 new injectors (not rebuilt, brand new NOS). and the new return fuel line. I could not find a better deal when you include 8 new...

it is sitting in the garage in parts since I had a bunch of work start. I am a general contractor and I working about 2 hours away from my truck right now. I do a lot of work for Texas A&M university and all the kids just left so I am busy until they get back. I will get a weekend or two but...

A popular resolution is to change to a civi neck, diesel version gas version is to small. This way you can buy a locking gas cap. Diesel version is hard to come by so you can get the gas version and make a small modification before installing it (make the hole bigger) and get the same locking...

I do not recommend trying to replace the bulbs without removing the cluster. Your problem may not be the bulb but how it is connecting to the printed circuit board. If you do not have a problem with the board, you probably will once you try to replace the bulbs without removing the cluster...

Is there the possibility that the pedal just stuck on the floor since you had it floored and just slowly rose. I do not believe it is possible for the IP to pull the pedal. It is highly possible that in trying to get to max power the pedal being pressed to the floor stuck and due to poor cable...

I plan to use the radiator oil cooler as is. I will just use the transmission portion for the steering. I have hydro boost also. I also have a high volume PSC pump with remote tank. It powers the brakes, steering and hydro assist cylinder on the front axle. My remote tank gets really hot...

If the plastic is bad (the back shell of the cluster) then it is a good time to upgrade to a cluster with gauges, if it is just circuit board the previous post told you all you need to know. You can even purchase all the new gauges if you want to go that way$. but don't pass on a civy cluster...
