    Naming of a spare part in the dashboard - Blazer K5 / Spare Parts Shop Search

    $100 is a steep price. It's not often I can help out around here since most are much smarter than I. But I poked through a parts pile and found one this morning. There are some limitations to my freedom of moment these days so it could take some time, but I would be happy to send this off for no...

    GEN 2 lamp went on while driving.

    I envy the easy fix brought on by an obvious oversight. Could use a couple of those right now.

    Stuck glow plug, advice needed.

    That's the kind of day I had yesterday. Broke a vent window reinstalling it. Really stupid mistake. But I'm not gonna pay someone to do it for 200 bucks when I can do it for 400.

    Stuck glow plug, advice needed.

    Pb blaster for a day or 2 on the stuck threads. Antisieze on the threads of replacement plugs. Is it possible to file 2 opposing sides of the damaged/swollen plug so that it fits into the puller? I have used the JJ and A tool you pictured with success. Just had to cut off the terminal and it...

    Banks Turbo for M-1009 CUCV

    Battery obviously relocated. Exhaust manifold flipped upside down. The oil drain was plumbed into the valve cover rather than deleting the lift pump and going in there. Hope this helps anyone having a go at it. This may not be the best way but it has definitely worked well for years.

    Banks Turbo for M-1009 CUCV

    It appears it may still be possible to acquire what's needed. Here is a thread that gives some instruction. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-turbo-a-6-2-using-6-5-parts.43430/ And a few spots for parts I found this morning with a search...

    Banks Turbo for M-1009 CUCV

    I have a 1009 with a 99 turbo and a couple stock CUCVs. The turbo makes a huge difference. Pretty sure Banks stopped making them years ago. But if you find some for sale, please let us know.

    Up-Armored doors?

    Seems like a fair price if fully functional.

    Disassemble geared hubs

    Agreed, if you can chuck it up, aim it downward, and spin it while heating with the torch it works even better.

    I guess it's time to get RE acquainted?

    Welcome back. I just bought a spot about an hour away. Haven't moved there yet but will get there eventually. See ya around someday.

    Camo paint with white rims look good?

    Seems like it would look odd to me but when it comes to personal satisfaction, who gives a shxt what others think. I'm pretty sure all the dorks around here with their foreign cars and loud lawnmower exhausts are thinking the same thing.

    Starter bolt broke

    While you may have missed the point in my diminishing the hot glue, you have demonstrated it perfectly.

    Pretty sure I got (not) scammed by a eBay seller from Japan selling radios

    Was hoping this post was forthcoming. Glad it worked out.

    Starter bolt broke

    If a solution has a long history of success, why pretend it doesn't? If something is too expensive but isn't really expensive at all, why pivot into calling it extra? When people offer advice to others that are asking, why try to trample the advice when theres nothing to gain? If a bolt is...

    Starter bolt broke

    I've used the same $40 set for more than 10 years. Hardly call that expensive. Have helped friends, neighbors, even a local mechanics shop with them. If you're going to drill out a broken bolt for use with an easy out, why not use a left hand bit? The heat from drilling combined with the correct...

    Starter bolt broke

    I've had good luck extracting broken bolts with lefthand drill bits.
