    my 4l80e learning experience

    gm parts guy not very good. I asked for the 91 parts first since all of my research showed this was the first year they started using the 4l80e. The parts guy could only pull up t400 transmissions in the computer for 91 thus he insisted the 4l80e was not used unitl 92 because this was the only...

    M1009 or regular blazer?

    $400 you get the parts and your money back For that price you can get all the parts, including engine tranny and axles and still get $400 at the scales. I just got $600 for the 87 burb I stripped to nothing, just the shell frame and rear axle without the doors or glass and I got $600 for it...

    my 4l80e learning experience

    i am staying with 6.2 and yes the 4l80e will require me to use the 6.5 converter. Unless anyone here can offer advice for me to use something different, i plan to use the high-torque torque-converter. I may go ahead and buy a used one since replacing the torque converter is something i can do...

    85' M1009 build thread

    What is it worth?

    $ amount big question without good pics. assume the title is fine, and it runs and drives I would say it is worth somewhere between $4,000 to $'how bad you want it' matching axles in perfect shape alone are $1200 to $2000 grand depending on your local market.

    what would cause cold advance sensor to keep failing..

    check and ohm your wires being that the sensor ads resistance when it gets hot, you may already have to much resistance due to corosion in the wires itself. Test the loop from the controler to the sensor and back to the controler. (not sure where it is but i belive this sensor comes from the...

    Emergency help needed

    swap batteries if you are limited on tools, swap the front battery with the back. if it was bad and your back battery is good, then this will allow all of the 12V stuff to work fine it just wont start because the starter is 24V. at this time go buy a new battery and replace the bad one...
