I am glad to hear you made it home and that you don't have a injection problem it would sure cost more than the flexplate. as for the flex plate the part number I gave you is the correct one for the non emissions J code 6.2 that you have under your hood and NO it is not discontinued. I ordered mine two days ago from autozone due to a blind spot and if they can't get one go to Oreilly's with the same part number and they should get you one . The P/N FRA-142 is a direct replacement for the O.E.M P/N 140777157 is for the non emisions J code engine that is found in all M1008 and M1009. The C code engine is an emissions control found in civy versions of the blazer and suburban, When looking up parts online or at the parts store for the engine parts always use the 1984 K30 truck 1 ton you can't go wrong, as it was one of the few civy models to come with the J code. Use the 1984 1/2 ton blazer with vin code C engine for every thing else on the truck.I made it home safely, and parked her on my cement slab, went in had dinner, came out jacked her up, pulled the pan, shined a flashlight up in there, and found a severly cracked but still intact flexplate!
I KNOW what I'll be doing this weekend! At least I can drive the Deuce to work!
Blitzengine, I just called my autozone here in bBuckeye, Az and they said that the Turbo400 flexplate was a discontinued item.....but they could get me one for the Tubo700
I'll have to run that number past them and see what they say. Thanks for the information.
And you were all correct in guessing the flexplate, and I was wrong.......but NOW I know what to listen for! So as long as something was learned I guess it isn't a total loss.
Thanks - Az Deuce
