This is the kind of bickering that makes me delete my content and swear off this site for a while. I repeat; Some of you need to learn some manners.

33x10.5x15 B F Goodrich AllTerrain KO2. I put them on the original M1009 rims i got with the truck. Not flashy, just practical. Better ice traction than the mud terrains for sure. Road noise maybe a bit less.

Are you referring to it dropping to 24 volts for a few seconds and then returning to 30 or so? probably does it 3 times and then stays steady? If that is what you mean, it is the afterglow feature of your glow plug card. If, on the other hand it does it all the time you probable have a loose...

The civy blazers came with the 700r4 stock. My 84 had it. Deeper 1st gear and overdrive. With all the updates, they are an excellant transmission. You can add a manual switch to lock up the torque converter (just jump the wires on the brake pedal converter interrupt) and send them to a dash...

You want a 400 sbc th350 NP203 combo? Let me know. About to scrap a 1976 K5 that has a rusted out body but strong running gear. 10 bolts with spartan locked front, G80 rear and 3.08's. Daily Driver and registered in WYO. You can have it for $500. Fly into billings Montana and i'll pick you up...

Guys. It is a piece of metal tubing. The crush sleeve. It is not an intergalactic transdimensional interface. It's sole pupose is to eliminate slop and provide tension for the opposed pinion bearings in their races. Yes, when brand new components are used, it is important. After 100k miles or 75...

Unless you have pre existing pinion bearing conditions such as; noise, vibration, and roughness, I hereby declare you FREE to torque that pinion nut; one. Last. Time. (Can i use two semi-colons in the same sentence?). Yes. And. Yes. No to red locktite. It is already a locknut. It does not or...

Dude. You failed to check off; "2 spare mags" Just saying. Have fun.

Okay, had a few beers. Here you go Nathus with the Wyoming shade tree mechanic solution to your problem; Everyone offended by plain common sense should buzz off now. Nathus. Put the yoke onto the pinion splines. Put the washer on. Thread the pinion nut on finger tight. Pull out on the yoke...

A worn out or loose pinion bearing or improper pinion preload could easily cause a vibration similar to the one you are describing. It would be a shame to do all the work and still have an issue. Here goes; Behind the pinion yoke there is a tapered roller bearing. There is also a tapered roller...

12 volt starter turns the motor over at the same speed as my 24 volt starter. Yes, if you pull from the front battery for gp power, it is a good idea to swap batteries front to rear occasionally for longest battery life. My other reason for full conversion; 3. Both batteries are equalized...

You can bypass the resistor for glow plug power but leave the rest as is too. I actually went all the way because; 1. The positive terminals of my batteries (actually front positive rear battery negative) were hitting my hood on articulation. This was because of the battery relocation the p.o...

Don't tell Rus.. Mine doesnt have a resistor. I converted to 12 volt. As for my glow times, the truck sits at 9,000 ft in the snow. I think the temperatures are warmer where i measure(at my camper) than at the lot 3 miles away. My longer glow is probably due to the stupid cold and long days...

I think so too. That is why i bought the other glow plug card. But my wait times are identical. It bothers me but i can't find anything wrong. Maybe I'll swap my spare gp solenoid in just for the heck of it but i believe that would either work or not.

It was my fault. My 6.2 runs so good, it makes me mash the go pedal sometimes. I saw the rock ahead and decided against flipping the truck to avoid it. "Poof" came the rush of air. "Flop. Flop. Flop" Yea, i killed that tire dead. Dinged my cheap steel rim too. So i am putting the stock steel...

"I hit a sharp rock" (at 40 mph).

I hit a sharp rock while wheeling on BLM land. Cut the sidewall of my BFG mud terrain. Wyoming is brutal to trucks. So i bought 2 brand new 33x10.5x15 BFG All Terrain ko tires and had them installed on the original m1009 rims instead of the cheap set. I like them so much I have ordered 2 more...

You mean the after glow cycling. I get that too. On particularly cold mornings i get 3 cycles of afterglow with the aftermarket card and a couple of longer afterglow cycles with the stock card. I do find it strange that my wait light goes out before the actual initial glow cycle stops. But it...

I am glad you got her fixed up. With either my after market glow plug card or my new production stock card, my gp system does the following; At about 0 degrees. No block heat. Key on, wait light and solenoid for 30 seconds. Then the wait light goes out but the solenoid stays on for another 10...

Mine had a Dana44 which I swapped for the 10 bolt. You got a dana 60 under your Blazer? Your picture shows a 10 bolt for sure.
