David, I read and reread this OP of yours and I don't understand if the problem was fixed in this thread so far. I know it has been a long while since you posted this; but I just bought a new ignition switch because I was not getting a crank when turning the key. What was the fix?

acesneights1, you are so right. Even NAPA, the last of the holdouts, is embarrased to tell me that a part is now made in china- no CAPS for those guys. **** I opened a new Blu-Ray player a few weeks ago and on the remote control I see "Made in china"... the Koreans are even getting their stuff...

I am in the process of pulling my starter for replacement. I bought it in February this year and it is still under warranty. It is a Caltric from daBay. (1 year warranty... we'll see) Anyway. I tested it per the TM and found that there is indeed power to the purple wire at the starter solenoid...

ralbelt, I read that already. In my OP I state that the batteries were checked- I didn't mean I checked them and they were dead. They each showed 12.55 volts. That seems like enough to crank the engine over, yet I am only getting 19.5 volts at the purple wire at the starter solenoid. I am...

wired1000, I gonna call this fellow Tom up and get a starter sent out. Is yours the DD or gear reduction type. Do you have a part number and price? I am in Oregon, so I'll have to call tomorrow, as he is probably gone for the day.

I am not sure how to test amps... Is this what a "Load Test" does? I checked voltage at the purple wire at the starter solenoid per TM -20's Malfunction test #42. I got a reading of 19.5Volts. Is this too low to crank the engine?... even a little?

Read applicable threads already; but no help so far. I have been chasing a "No Crank" problem for the past 48 hours. Ran wiring down as per TM. The situation is: Turn the key. All the requisite dash lights come on and cycle. All I hear is a click. Batteries checked, starter checked. Reminds me...

I am checking all the wiring back from the starter relay. Has anyone found any of these wires to be problematic. I ask because they seem strong at the connectors; but some of them disappear into the harness and I am having a helluva time finding where they come out. Without pulling the starter...

antennaclimber, which harness connector? Is it the one behind the fuse panel or the one by the Transmission tube... or some other one?

under the dash. I have replaced my batteries with two new ones. The GP card is new from Antenna Climber. I have been driving it for months since I cleaned the GP card contacts with sandpaper and inserted the new GP card. But today, out-of-the-blue, I turned the key, the WAIT light came on for...

I have read all, I think, threads regarding fuel injectors on this forum. It is my feeling that the injectors in my Blazer could use a rebuil. I understand that they are not too difficult to R&R; but I also have read that they can be easily rebuilt- though not easily tested by a DIY'er. Is...

K9Vic, yep, I seemed to have screwed up- don't ask me how; but I ended up ordering from the truck catalog. I have a 73 3/4 T pick up and must have not checked that it was the blazer catalog I wanted when I wrote down the Mat number. skysix, the dashmat was bought from a gal on ebay: Seller's...

Thanks for all the great ideas guys. I like the idea of coming off the rear seat buss. I'll take a look today. K9Vic good call on the mat difference. I am going to check the order and invoice now. From the pics, I definitely got the wrong one. Now the question is, am I that lame that I screwed...

bearboley, I got mine on ebay... I think. It was about a year ago and IICR it was about the same price as this one: ebay heater :idea: Hey, what truck and what parts TM do you use, I can look it up :idea:

I bought a MRE Ration Heater and the power plug (silver end on cable in first pic) for it needs to be placed into a lamp socket like a standard tail lamp. I am going to rig a dash mount socket built into a reamed out 12v power supply socket- the type with a cover. I'll just epoxy a lamp socket...

Here are a couple of photos showing what I installed from LMC. The Black mat (LMC) is waaay too short to do any good; but is seems to have the same pattern as the original. Under the rubber mat, I installed this new remnant piece of 1/2 Stainmaster carpet padding. Feels real nice; but I'll be...

I ordered the rubber floor mat from LMC and received what looks like a front half of a truck set. It is a very tight side-to-side fit. I will have a session with a heat gun before I comment further. Meanwhile, the mat only extends from the front firewall to the middle of the seats, leaving a...

I installed the new Temp gauge. I got the part from the dealer some time ago; but did not install it until today. The Temp gauge went smoother than expected. I had already installed the gauge in the dash alongside the ammeter/voltage meter. To complete the install, I cut a gasket to match...

chevyCUCV, yes, I am asking about timing. I have all the bound TMs and refer to them regularly. I don't know that I have the equipment, or the technical ability to work on a 6.2's ignition; and I am looking for a mechanic or shop that can verify that it is up to snuff before I assume that the...

Is this necessarily bad... Replace the spare bad? I'd rather not hike out when I'm way in. Should I get the green fix-a-flat stuff? Can tubes be installed in the field? The tire is the Silent Armour type with plenty of tread??
