Thanks, I'll amend my search.

I bought a part off Ebay. The description and picture for a 1986 K-5 Blazer seemed right, but the hand crank is wrong for a CUCV. I love this 39-year-old truck most of the time.

The glass sits in the channel and has an aftermarket rubber seal to cushion glass in the track. I have not been able to find an aftermarket or used channel. My original is in pieces. Regulator and cams that go on rollers are good. I just can't roll up the glass with no channel. I...

I need to replace both the windshield wiper arms, not the wiper blades, but have not figured out how to remove them. I see a tab at base of wiper assembly where it meets the male coming out of windshield. Will this tab release the windshield arm? I don't want to pry it out or push it in if it...

Thanks. The flywheel is installed. Next we put transfer case back and oil pan, starter. Fixed the main seal leak too. So, now I've a 36 year old 6.2 that should last a while longer. Engine oil cooler lines remain a puzzle. Everybody says they leak and you can't find replacements that don't...

So, I bought the flex plate and the starter. Do you know the torque spec's for the flex plate? The transfer case takes the same fluid as the transmission, right?

Thanks guys. I'll be checking pinion clearance. I'm on phone with Napa tomorrow. Biped

My truck eats a starter about every 3 years. The mechanic who installed the last starter says the flywheel is part of the problem. I'm not seeing a replacement flywheel on-line so I thought I ask if someone on the forum can point me in the right direction. The truck has been bomb-proof in...

I whacked a deer, left front. Cattle guard helped but was pushed into the area surrounding headlight (pushed into housing) and parking/blinker light lens broken. Headlights and blinkers worked when I took truck for repairs. I picket it up today and neither of the blinkers blink. Headlights...

Thank you. Do you know a brand or a product name for the panel adhesive?

Well, it was just an idea. I'll bondo from the inside and continue to fix holes when they appear. These are great vehicles. 5+ years and counting.

I've replaced the body panels that had rust holes. New tailgate, hood, quarter panel plus some bondo work. I've got holes in the floor in various places. They're not large but they're growing. I can bondo them from the inside and I thought a "commercial" undercoating company could seal the...

Lmc Truck. First set of parts did not work. The riser that the glass fits in was goofed up. I returned for refund and ordered replacement that worked. The regulator replacement was okay. Biped

Fort Davis is a small place. I don't know if I can get it up to look at it tomorrow but I don't see how that axle could be salvageable. I'll talk to my mechanic. Can you give me a phone or email. Your plan sounds like a really good fit. I worked in Conroe 10+ years before coming out West...
