If you do use a different container for a fuel supply, you should also run your fuel return line to this container. Otherwise your return fuel will go to your main tank. Your truck will suck down a few gallons of fuel pretty quickly if the return is going to your main tank.

Barn doors = two side by side doors. Suburbans could be had with either a fold down tailgate similar to the blazer or with side by side doors that opened out.
If you remove the IP return line and fitting and turn your electric fuel pump on do you get a steady flow of fuel without air bubbles ? If there are air bubbles there it won't run and you won't be able to bleed the air out of the system.
Spin on filters are 10X better IMHO. I have no problems with my trucks with spin ons. I only have 2 trucks with the box style filters that work properly. All others with box filters have problems. They are getting converted.
BTW 82 trucks had the water sensor in the fuel tank.
Looks good, the filter you are using looks like the primary filter used on the 1982/83 6.2 diesels. They also used a secondary filter mounted on the intake manifold. I am not sure of the micron rating.
I have also been gathering parts for this swap. My Napa said they don't have listings...
I know what you mean Scott. I have an 1982 K10 with 270,000 miles on it. I have owned it since 1997 and again no IP problems. I have a 1985 M1010 with 30,000 miles and it needs its IP. It has the disintergrating retainer problem- plugging up the return check valve.
I have had two on my 18' car trailer. Sorry no pics. I had them loaded with the tongues to the back of the car trailer so I could hook up to them and pull them off when I got home. I have done this several times. I tried to keep the front 105 back a little ways to reduce tongue weight on the...
The detents are not in the column. They are in the transmission itself. The selector plate on the inst. cluster is the only thing you would change, But it is not really necessary.
I have never had a problem with picking up items. It's with headquarters. You can call and get an answer, call 10 minutes later get someone else and get a different answer.
If GL had a feedback rating like sellers on ebay I think they would have plenty of negative comments. Some from me just from problems they make. I have had my account suspended twice for non payment when the payments were made days before, I would call every day and their answer would be it was...
Probably a rusted fuel line or one that has rubbed through possibly by the mechanical lift pump. I usually take a gallon container with diesel fuel in it, a piece of 3/8" flexible fuel line,
and attach it to the suction side of the lift pump. Disconnect the large wire at the IP and bleed the air...
Most auto parts stores have a selection of bushings. Even pin and bushing sets. Usually you can also find oversize Outside diameter bushings if your hindge itself is worn. Enlarge the worn hole to fit the oversize bushing in and your hindge is like new.
