My seals on all the windows are shot. I like the brush seal idea I may use that.

Patched up the cracked tailgate sides to the best of my ability. Don't give me to much grief about the welds all I've got is a cheap Flux core welder. It really can't go low enough to weld thin metal but I did my best.

I have to agree with @cucvrus that looks like normal 6.2 vibration. At idle these things sound and feel like they would shake apart.

The grease zerks can sometimes be a pain to get to. A grease gun adapter kit like this makes things go smoother in all your greasing adventures. Astro 9430 Grease Fitting Adapter Set https://a.co/d/4LGMlSL

Not enough time in the day. I feel like there needs to be three of me at times. My wife probably wouldn't like that though lol.

Engine has always been strong. The odometer got reset when I was doing some Dash work but it said 44,595 miles when I got it. I just need to replace that old harmonic balancer and the engine should be pretty cherry.

It is alive

I just realized I've never put a video on here. Do I just upload to a popular video platform then share the link?

I plan to once I get some more diesel in. It was running real ruff last night because of the air still in the system. I will post one this afternoon though. I can't wait till I get the Trans and transfer case back in. That will be an exciting video for me. First time moving under it's own power...

Got the fuel tank put back in today. Only had a couple gallons of fresh diesel on hand which didn't make the fuel gauge move. Got to grab another can of diesel tomorrow. Nice to have it running again after a couple months of the tank being out.

@cucvrus can you tell what you need to know from these photos. It's raining so I just snapped some frame rail pics real quick.

No retainers on the frame. Im at work right now so can't get any more pictures at the moment. I can try to get some when I get off this afternoon.

That's personal preference I like it if it has the bumper lettering to, unit numbers and such. Im going to do custom stencils on my 09. Where a civi would say K5 Blazer I'm going to stencil on M1009 6.2L

Looks great

Either that or someone brushed in rubber undercoating. (Badly) I agree it needs to be scraped out though.

Got one of the smaller but important things handled today. Replaced the steel brake line across the rear axle. Also replaced the rubber line while I was back there.

The CUCV line never had carpets. If you do go that route though. I suggest https://www.accmats.com/commerce/1984/Chevrolet/K5 Blazer/Flooring/1914/ This place is local to me made in Anniston Alabama and by what I've seen its quality stuff. Plus the have about 13 different colors to choose from...

Seems like it's taken weeks but I finally have all the body mounts replaced. It's not that it was that hard of a job. It was a pain but I took my time and had some sickness and a tooth pulled during the process. It's finally done though and I did not have to cut open the floors which was my...

This is what they left me with
