How does one fix that rack issue? Does the power plant have to be out of the tank to access the pump?

That tank...

Gents.... This tank ain't mine but I've been helping wrench on. Veh ran until parked over 10 years ago. Old fuel has been removed, new batteries and fuel have been installed. Motor starts on ether and a cup of diesel poured into the intake. Accelerator to the floor on start, saw about...

Today the truck got my full attention. I replaced a few jive ass looking chop jobs and tightened the battery connections. I bumped the starter terminals and the starter began to engage... The 24 volts are there all that is needed is to ground the system. There isn't however a magnetic starter...

Yeah... I've heard of in line fuses making it into some of the wiring. Thankfully there doesn't appear to be any other than a lighter plug that's installed. Where's the solenoid? On top of the starter? As for the ground, it appears to be secure. I'm liking the bad switch theory. That is the...

Was driving 5 he other day when I went to honk the horn and noticed the horn wasn't working. I saw the ignition switch was on but looked at the guages and saw the volt meter was dead... All guages were off... no horn or turn signals. It was like the switch was off. So now the truck will no...

Was thinking about this a few days ago and wanted to reread. Posted on FB page for some of my firefighting buddies to see.

Short wave/side band... yes. May be one of the last forms of long distance communication depending on the circumstance.

Gents, Lookin for a portable world type radio in case of a SHTF/Zombie apocalypse sorta thing. Receive only is fine, performance and cost are the only factors. Lets keep it under $175. Ive seen a ton on Fleabay and know Grundig and Yaesu... the rest seem sketchy.

My man behind the counter LIED!!! I shall throttle him... Thanks NK

Looked here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/60764-another-bad-blower-motor.html Saw this: eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices NAPA in my area says the 24v blower motor is discontinued. No one in the previous thread answered my...

Factory Air/4 Seasons brand, part # 35552 These are at Advance Auto and are 24v? NAPA seems to be discontinuing these motors so unless your local NAPA can get them we may be SOL.

Camo, my 1008 does something similar. Steering alignment is out of whack until you make a hard left or right and then theres a sudden jerk and everything is better. Im guessing you have 2 issues... 1 is you need to regrease/pack your front hubs. 2 your (and mine) steering box may need to be...

Sorry gents, the front drivers side on the Blazer. Had the passenger apart the first year I had it and iirc there were a bunch of parts and hpw they went together was by **** magic. Truck would pull hard to the right when I hit the brake prior to replacing the caliper but that is no longer the...

Fellas, Im getting quite a bit of heat off my front hub. Replaced the caliper and pads since the old one seemed froze up. The hub spins somewhat by hand still but dont feel right. Ive had the truck 6yrs but never replace the bearings SO Im going to try it. The tm blow up diagram was hard to...
