No idea about the fuel gauge but the tach is easy enough, just attach the pickup wire to one leg in either alternator.

My old truck (now gone) would start really quick, many people commented on it. If yours is grinding as or after the engine starts, I'd suspect the overrunning clutch on the starter gear drive assembly. It's easy enough to check and replace. JUST MAKE SURE YOU REPLACE WITH ONE FOR A 1984!!! THE...

That's nothing to worry about, it's not a structural part.

I don't get it, why change fusible links and plugs when they are still working? I understand swapping out some bulb sockets that are exposed to weather but others not so much.

" It actually cracked the inspection cover on mine as well. Apparently these starters have a lot of torque. I have been told if you don't take care of it, it can crack the block. " Yes it can, it can and will break the outer 'ear' off the block where the outer starter bolt threads into. and that...

I hate to say it but do you really think he will read it let alone understand it? I'd be looking for a different shop/mechanic. How far are from CUCVUS

I think thats a wrench for water or gas valves. But then again it could be for Blazer windows.

Yes and yes if you do have a gear reduction starter. Look on that site and you'll see how to ID what you starter you have. From your pic's I'd replace that flex pate and the starter drive gear.

No, tire size would have no effect on belt life. Are you using a good grade of V belt or some will fit cheapy brand?

Don't wait to long! Those brackets don't look like much but they are very important.

Dropping the tank is a PIA especially when there is fuel in it, that tank is pretty long and even 5 gallons or so starts sloshing from one end to the other can make it fall off a jack or tip and spill. Removing the bed is a pain too but I lean that way. I don't have a torch set so how I do it...

Yes, should have had them stock. Someone changed them over to 16.5s

It's a bit of a PIA but it won't hurt to get in there and clean and lube the WW linkages.

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.
