Pull your card, clean the contacts with a pencil erasor, clean the metal contacts in the case with a file and once you check your wiring for breaks. See if that makes any difference.

Are you sure it wasn't swapped out for another speedo? A drill will only get a speedometer up to 70-80 mph. Lets call it 70. 100,000 divided by 70 is 1428.57 hours. Divide that by 24 to get days. 59.52 days of letting the drill run wide open. I would guess it is a replacement speedo, it...

What you see is always there. You just can't see it unless a headlight is behind you at night. I had just gotten my first 6.2 when I used it to take my Scouts camping. I was leading a 5 vehicle convoy 30 miles down the highway pulling a box trailer. I saw the "smoke" the entire time in the...

Welcome, where are you in this small state?

I used the M1009 to flat tow the M715 to my class today. We are going to throw a 6.2 in where the thrown rod big block is. While I had it in my class, I put it on the alignment machine to see how things looked. The front was great. So was the rear. However, while looking at the numbers I...

Anything that has seals in it will eventually start to leak and the seals will break down. 5-8 years seems to be the life span of an average 6.2 IP seal. If the truck has been used daily with good fuel, the pump and seals might last lots longer. Sitting dry or with the new EPA mandated...

Yes, 1984 K5 Blazer parts. I just get the house brand at whatever store I happen to be in. Now, I should mention that the high dollar metalic pads do make a difference. If you are going to be pulling loads or stopping from a high speed going down a mountain several times a day, you might be...

Yes, you can get a wrench on them. You will also need to turn the flywheel over to get to them all. Plus, figure out a way to hold the flywheel when tightening the bolts.

Pull your torque converter cover and put a wrench on each and every torque converter bolt through the flywheel. The flex plate actually does flex under load and a loose bolt will tap the cone of the starter. At least that is what I have found. Yes, the belts you are checking should be done...

If pulling the front rotors is something you don't want to get into. Buy the cheapest non metalic brake pads you can find. That way, the part intended to wear will and the rotor will live a very long time. If your caliper is very hard to come off, why? Bolts stuck, rusted to the mount or...

Look at the check valve on the top of the IP. If it is catching junk, the IP is coming apart and will need replacement. If that is all good and it sounds like it probably will be. Put a clear hose on it to the rest of the metal return lines. Warm the truck up first, so you know it will...

Sorry to hear about your troubles Sam. I hope it all works out like it should.

Any alignment shop with Hunter (The big red lift and aligner) equipment newer than 2006 can tell you the angles of all 4 tires to the 0.00 of a degree. It will take about 2 minutes once the truck is on the lift. If you tell them all you want is a print out of what your angles are, not a full...

Lucas is how learned to wire a vehicle as well. That almost sounded like a praise of Lucas. I guess, "I learned how to rewire a vehicle the right way because it started out with a Lucas system" would be better. It would be a good idea to remove the batteries and take every connection on the...

Pull the #1 plug wire at the plug. Take a civilian plug wire, cut off the ends and strip off the insulation an inch or so back on both ends. Fold the black wire in the middle back over the outer insulation. Stick one end in the plug and the other into the wire. Tape them together if you have...

Try to get a more specific diagnosis. Goes into gear with the engine off, but won't with it running means clutch/pilot bearing issues. You can start it in neutral, get it warm, turn it off and then put the truck into low 1st, start it again to drive onto the trailer and turn it off to stop...

As explained above, it should be verticle. Put a level next to it and then compare it to the other side rear tire. Camber pull is normally a front tire condition, but it will be where the vehicle wants to go to the side with the most positive camber. If you left tire is leaned in and your...

Pull the rear drums and make sure the brake shoes are still anchored to the backing plates. Look for anything else wrong while in there and get back to us with more information if you can.

If you are going to have it apart for the radiator. Go ahead and do new upper and lower hoses, heater hoses, push on the freeze plugs with a screw driver looking for soft spots and for sure a new thermostat. Does the cooling fan wobble front to back when you try to move it that way? If not...

1/4" drive flex joint socket with an extension as mentioned above. 11MM is the same as 7/16" when it comes to wrench sizes. You will probably have better luck looking for a small standard size specialty tool is why I mention that.
