    Starter motor loosens recurrently - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    That's a 99 Tahoe not a 6.2 diesel. I've never shimmed mine. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Building Slave Cable

    I used my hydraulic crimp tool made for those big lugs. I had to find thick shrink wrap with the sealing glue inside but it worked easy. I see the reason to use solder as well but i didn't as the lugs were very deep so I had plenty of contact surface with the lug. I couldn't find a pic of my...

    Heat and wire speed were spot on!! A grinder and paint make me a welder I ain't.

    Tips for fastening connectors and winding generator cables on reels?

    I'd add what type of wire your trying to put on a reel...solid wire doesn't like being bent around but if you have "welding wire" type wire those can be wound up in certain diameters without issue. Are you storing the wire inside or under cover? This goes into what type of wire you have...some...

    Starter motor loosens recurrently - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    I don't think there's shims involved with these starters. Yes there is 2 types of brackets depending on which starter you have. Here in the states both are available on Amazon but I'm not sure how you'll get one where you are. I have a few of both! I have a mixed bunch of starters on all mine...

    Starter motor loosens recurrently - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    You're taking it to literally...19.1 was a joke that I know you don't get...the bolt length was an estimate by me of 3/4 of an inch...which is 19.10 mm...the joke is, I listed the metric thread with a English inch...they don't mix. Find a bolt 8x1.25 in a few lengths and see which one works...

    Starter motor loosens recurrently - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    Are you looking for the bolt thread pitch and size that goes in the block for the starter brace? If I remember right it is a 8mm x 1.25 pitch 3/4 inch long. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    I've used these in the past for lifted ones. Think it lessens the preload on the bar and moves it back a little. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    The sway bar is a bear to hook up!! I think they make drop kits to use with a lift kit since they don't like to reach. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Those cross bars like to rust bad. Was one of the first things I found nos and bought several. I got some pintle mounts too. Those mounts you replaced would be hard to find I think they're part of the frame? You still have that roller frame? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Voltmeter issues after changing belts

    Oh geez..if you go by it showing high that's not good! Wonder if that gage is really off or you're not charging at all. Have you checked the battery with the voltmeter yet? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Voltmeter issues after changing belts

    I get that! Now that you know your gage reads a few high, you know it's ok. I wonder if there's an adjustment knob in there to get it calibrated?? Coolant leaks are work...water pump is a good bit of tear down. I did one a few months ago. I used that high flow one, flowcooler, that was about...

    Voltmeter issues after changing belts

    That adds up! I'd wait about 20 minutes after you start it to make sure the batteries are kinda recharged from starting it too. Typically I'll check the batteries in the morning before I start it to see where they are then start it and let it run and see where it lands...by tech the one...

    Nah no biggie!! 24 volt stuff can be confusing until you figure it out...once you do though it's easy. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    29 or so is about right! Running that is..each alternator does 14.5 or so...depending on battery condition and resistance in the battery cables are what you'll get. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    That firewall does look awesome!! I haven't seen a non ac factory style heat sound matt for a long time. If you want the heat and sound reduction the lizard skin I've been using works great. You can paint it back to the green and not really know it was done. I know you're going for the factory...
