    Aftermarket Receiver Hitches

    Picked mine up off of ebay. i dont remember the years but it fits blazers and pick ups from the 80's. Used grade8 bolts and nuts and had to remove the bumper supports and tie downs (some of it, not all) but didnt have to drill a single hole. $15 + shipping, might try a local pick and pull.

    CUCV Batteries, 6TLs, source for blemishes

    RE: 6 tl Looks like sprucemtsurplus.com has them for $80 dry plus shipping. I could handle that. Optimas are super but with an IP rebuild in the future $500 is steep for batts. Contacted Deka and their midwest sales guru stated that they dont have 6TL's with blemishes. Right. Group 31's is...

    CUCV Batteries, 6TLs, source for blemishes

    I currently am running some Autobone/Wallymarts that are were the biggere batts (750 cca). The block heater died last week and I found out how well the GPs are working w/o help. I had to shoot the the air cleaner with ether. So with that Im guessing new Wellmans (2.5yrs old) and a couple of real...

    24 Volt glow plugs again

    This might be a shot in the dark. The goofy bulb that lets u know the alts are working or not have to be good for the alts to charge the system. Does the "wait" or "W.I.F" bulb have to work for the GP system to heat/operate? I hope thats not too "newbie" of a question. I was told that the water...

    Belt squeel.

    I dont remember the 1028's designation (shop truck I assume) but I'll bet its similar to all the other truck set ups. I'd venture a guess if u had popped the hood it comes from the driver sideand from the stupid dubbl pulley set up on the power steering pump. Get that tight and then get the...

    Debris in the return line check valve (CUCV)

    Had a reuild dude till me theres a fiberous seal inside where some kind of rods or some magic pump fairies beat up and down. After 20+yrs the ring hath died, this was a common prob with a simple fix: rebuild said pump with a better rubber seal. One shop quoted me $960 to pull out, rebuild and...

    Sizzling

    I wasdriving back from valpo one night when the truck sputtered and the lights went dim. Almost died out completely. Thought it was strange but it was momentary and responded normally for the rest of the drive home. Shut it off and went on inside my house. I came back out to start it...

    CUCV Injectors vs Marine injs, removal + cleaning proceedur

    So.... for the past few months I'll drive the blazer around and occassionally I need to unscrew the the return line check valve and blow it out with some choke and carb spray. A bunch of tiny coffe ground debris comes out and I then reinstall and along my merry way I go for awhile. Then the...

    RE: Starter bracket bolt size?? heat shield gone a long time ago. None the less the starter bolt snapped AGAIN today. Luckily, close by chevy dealer had said 2 bolts on hand.

    Kids BB guns and my buddys CUCV!

    I think junior and me and mom and dad would all have a come-to-jesus meeting. Call on your neighbors and tell them what happened first and what youve found. Give sonny the chance to confess. A little presure might break him and learn a good life lesson (aint we all been there in that hot seat?)...

    Starter Brackets, Bolts and other starter info

    Ive been snapping starter bolts this past week. i didnt realize the last time it had gone into a shop the mech hadnt returned the starter bracket (That holds the rear of the starter up). Probably thought it was extra. Ive since procured one but have had a heck of a time trying to figure out what...

    CUCV Injectors vs Marine injs, removal + cleaning proceedur

    Would be intrested in hearing if the injectors (marine) made a dif. For the price Im curious. What about pulling off the current set and cleaning them? If I do it will I need to replace some O-rings or other gaskets?

    stalling now no start

    Glass plunger/one way valve is located inside the return line injector you took off. IF you take a small allen and try to push through, it should stop inside the injector, against the bead. The bead should slide freely unless some dude may have already busted out the glass bead. No biggie I...

    Mysterious Water Leak

    I had my windshield replaced a little over 2 yrs ago and get a slow leak on the D side lower corner. Try this to track it down: Remove the dash, If nothing else it gives you a chance to clean the area up and you'll probably make $12 cleaning up all the loose change behind there. Sprinkle talcum...
