    84 Blazer "Thankful I'm alive"

    You had a 28' travel trailer hooked to a CUCV Blazer? Sounds like you had too little tongue weight and that sets you up for exactly what happened, especially on a light weight short wheelbase truck like the Blazer. The trailer will start to sway and rip the truck's rear end loose and then you...

    The 1985 TMs will cover that. Possibly the Warn website has info. Back in the DRMO days, there would be triwalls full of those, all burned out.

    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    Yeah back when we got this law passed by the legislature in the early 90s, the registration numbers were all still on the hoods of vehicles that we were collecting at the time. I do believe that the registration number does not need to be on the outside of the vehicle to be approved by TXDMV.

    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    When you apply for the FMV registration using the registration number, the number you provide becomes YOUR unique license plate number, if some other vehicle has that number already, you will have to pick something else.

    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    No. You are supposed to use the USMC or US Army registration number. USMC vehicles have it on the hood and US Army have it on the A pillar post inside the cab. Unit markings on the bumper is not what the law is intended for. Per the VTR form: The serial number assigned to the vehicle by...

    Automotive Paint vs Behr

    What kind of Automotive one part paint are you considering? Nothing from an auto paint supplier looks anything close to military ultra flat CARC.

    Non-turbo to turbo upgrade

    Does the Eastern kit include the actual turbocharger? I don’t think so. Eastern is highly recommended by me, always happy with many purchases. Oh and NA deuce engines are badazz, love mine and it’s smoke trail. Plenty of power.
