    bastard CUCV

    You can download it from the 'Resources' tab at the top of the page. Just click on Technical Manuals. You are looking for 9-2320-289-## series of TMs for the CUCV. (I think they are on page 6 or so) Later, Joe

    slave cable

    I'll bet that truck was an AF truck. The gloss green thing is an AF thing. Is the REG number on the VIN plate 85K####? Later, Joe

    Generator lights

    Yea, that's the problem... the radiator only holds a portion of the total coolant. The block will have about 2.5 gal in it and the heater core/piping will have about a gallon. Later, Joe

    Changing the brakes front pads and rotor problem

    Ok, you are only at the beginning of getting the rotor off. You have to pull the snap ring that's on the end of the axle stub off and the snap ring on the inside of the hub that holds the aluminum locking hub piece in place. Once you have the locking hub guts out, then you have to remove the two...

    extra glow plug relay

    I'm pretty sure that the one you have is fine. Continuous duty is for things like winches and what not where they will be energized for longer periods of time. If you're really concerned, buy a new relay and replace it. Later, Joe

    extra glow plug relay

    Wow, that's all kinds of non-regulation.... First off, where does the relay on the passenger's side get triggered from? It appears to shut off main 12V power to the truck when de-energized. If I'm looking at the picture right, the black wire goes to the battery? and then there is a jumper wire...

    Blinker problem

    It's a ground problem, the circuit is backfeeding through the turn signal indicator. Check the grounds in the headlight harness to make sure everything is clean and connected. Later, Joe

    Blazer glow plug issue

    It sounds like the coolant temperature switch has failed and the card thinks that the engine is hot all the time. Unhook the plug going to the switch on the back of the driver's side cylinder head and see if that makes a difference. If it does, the switch is bad. Later, Joe

    Blazer glow plug issue

    By come on for only two seconds, does that mean the light is coming on or do you actually hear the clunk of the relay engaging? Have you tried manually energizing the relay to see if that makes a difference? If not, try this: Take a wire and connect the terminal with the light blue wire on the...

    Generator lights

    My previous post in this thread (6 posts up) has the part numbers listed. Any good shop should be able to cross the Gates numbers. Here they are again... Goodyear "Gatorback" - 15485 fits the passenger side alternator on the 6.2 Gates - Driver's side Alt, 7575 Pass side Alt, 7483 Power...

    ok i need help pleese... pissing me off!

    I'm going to hazard a guess and say that your flexplate/ring gear is FUBAR. If there are some chipped teeth or missing teeth, the force of the starter jumping the teeth can bust the starter for sure. I'd pull the bottom cover and inspect the condition of the teeth. Later, Joe

    Generator lights

    Yes, Kragen carries the Gatorback belts... I only have the part number for the Passenger's side alternator, but they should be able to cross reference the other two from the Gates numbers. Goodyear "Gatorback" - 15485 fits the passenger side alternator on the 6.2 Gates - Driver's side Alt...

    Question on batteries, how to test them

    Without a load tester, put your leads across the battery while he's trying to crank it. If it drops below 9V while cranking it is probably bad. Optimas have a real bad problem with being discharged and recharged too many times, causing the plates to sulfate and the battery to lose capacity...

    m1009 gen lights

    Something in the alternator popped... have it checked out by a good automotive electrical place that rebuilds starters and alternators. Probably just needs the diodes replaced or something simple. Later, Joe
