Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I've never had the drums off, so I never had the chance to slather the anti-seize on it. I always coat some on everything before it goes back together, jeep or cucv.Heat the drum around the hub eccentric and then give it a whack. I guess M1009 K5 Blazer is what you are working on. Good Luck. When you put it back together brush some never seize on the axle face and flange. Always works for me. Don't chrome it just a small amount goes a long way.
As close to 100% as it's possible to get, and a drain plug won't help you. Replace it.So to go with my transmission blown post, what's the chance the converter has been contaminated with debris in the fluid?
Marcus that’s a good idea to flush those lines and cooler. Do you know if there is a procedure in the TMs for how to flush?As close to 100% as it's possible to get, and a drain plug won't help you. Replace it.
Jasper doesn't have a great reputation. Better to find a local rebuilder with a good reputation. Ask at your local NAPA - they often know who's good and who isn't. You can pick up some transmission flush while you are in there to flush the lines and cooler. Get two cans. An extra can is a lot cheaper than a ruined transmission.

Thanks, I'll check them this morning.Yes the heater swich and heater switch connection. It gets loose and heats up. Give that a look see. Good Luck.
What is this 30R9 fuel line you speak of?Been taking advantage of the nice weather and being stuck at home...
* Replaced blown water-in-fuel diode (blue tape)
* Replaced CDR valve.
* Replaced vented oil fill cap (which was *hard* to locate online. They don't make them anymore, and the normal Blazers used a non-vented)
* Replaced leaky vacuum lines for transmission
* Replaced vacuum valve (need to re-calibrate per TM still)
* Replaced fully rotten "larger" vacuum tube on top of pump.
* Replaced fuel line under intake manifold with the "good stuff" 30R9
* Painted random stuff that was rusty while it was off the engine.
* Finished rebuilding drivers door after mixing and matching parts from a donor (Finally!)

I wanted to pull the hard-fuel lines and pull the valve covers to paint them, add new gaskets, and check gaps... but after looking at how much work that was, and the truck only having ~60k miles on it I got lazy![]()
