You are going to have to make some spring adjustments with that and the winch. Otherwise you will be wearing out bump stops and lumbar joints.:roll: Rick

I find it curious that you have not made any mention of the wrecker company in all this. If in fact you did contact them about the truck then someone there holds at least part of the responsibility, a large part in my eyes. Have you used this company in the past? More than once? Will you use...

THAT will get you thrown in jail if you get caught!!!!! You cannot swap VIN plates. They are held on with special star rivets only available to the manufacturer so it will be obvious that it was changed. The body vin will no longer match the frame vin and there will be a lot of explaining to...

What are you going to do with the one you won at Ft. Hood? You can't just walk away from it. Well you can but you won't get your money back. Rick

Normal fuel line would be fine, you are not really pulling a vacuum per se. Regular fuel line in a car is good for at least 15 inches of vacuum and that is the old stuff, not the new expensive fuel injection hose. Pulling from a drum on the ground you may get one or two inches of vacuum. The...

I WANT one!!!!!!!!!!! Or two even. That is great. Rick

No way is that setup going to hold that winch. Not only do you not have the pull strength on the bumpers but you are mounted way to high and you will have rotational force twisting the whole thing down. Ideally the fairlead should be between the frame rails. If not between then right above and...

Just dropping the hose in the drum will work fine. If you are using the system as was intended the drum will fill the genny tank as the level drops in the tank. It will only draw from the drum as needed when the tank level drops so as long as the hose end is in the fuel in the drum you are good...

I would love to even have access to it. There are reports of people stealing it from restaurant holding tanks. You have to have all kinds of permits to handle, move and store it here in NJ now. I was going to get them but now that people are charging for the waste oil I said the heck with it...

And as expensive as you can get! I don't understand doing a transmission swap into a truck where the transmission is worth ten times the value of the truck. A four speed, gears and overdrive is a tried and proven setup and all of that would cost a quarter of the price of the 6 speed. Unless you...

Until winter when it will not run because the fuel turns solid. I am surprised it is running straight WVO. 6.2's do not generally like to run on anything but clean diesel. Rick

Got you there!

You put 1/2 ton axles on a 5/4 ton truck?

Call the parts store and tell them you need a pinion seal for an 85 K5 Blazer. Rick

Have you tried rotating the tires? Rear spring pins? Rick

Read the whole thread, It is all there. Rick

I am not disputing the fact that GL screwed up but I believe they did offer his money back. I am not trying to make him out to be the bad guy, I am trying to stay neutral. If he had previewed the truck and this came about then he would have grounds for reimbursement for travel but since he did...

The clutch load will not be an issue. The 6.2 came with a standard transmission in thousands of trucks and wreckers.

If you bought number XXXX and it was the vehicle that was not there then they owe you a truck or your money back. whether he marked it by mistake or not that vehicle was attached to that number so therefor it was the item you bought. I am curious to know how someone else got the truck out if you...

Find any 3/4 or 1 ton Chevy pick up with the standard trans and grab all of the stuff. I do not know exact years but they are pretty much universal. The early 70's would have the T18 and the later would be the SM465. Rick
