    Need help with fuel system

    If the air leak is so small that fuel does not leak out, it should still start and run, maybe rough, but it should run. Why do you want to know the fuel line diameter? To replace it, or fix it? If you can slightly pressurize the fuel tank, (less the 5 psi), it should leak and look wet at the...

    Rear main oil seal leak?

    Hey, make sure it is oil and not dirty tranny fluid. I had similar symptoms, and it was the front tranny seal (pump seal). Also, if it is oil, make sure it is not coming from up higher on the back of the motor, and just running down and out of the inspection cover. That is just my two cents.

    16.5 9.75 steel wheels

    Most 16.5 rims don't have the extra hump on the inside of the tire. You are right, these do not make for very good off-road rims. I have a very nice set too. They have been up on my shelf for 5 years. Weld on beadlocks will only help this on the outside of the wheel.

    Push Bumper

    Are those 34" super swampers? They look perfect. Is that stock height, or is it lifted a little? The whole package looks freakin' sweet. Nice job.

    "The Man" doesn't want you to export these, because the taliban is collecting them to take over the world! I hope they read the Doghead Starter Relay Mod! btw, just in case this doesn't read the way i'm thinking it, it is a joke...

    1008 door glass

    My reference says one window from 73-80. It is a different window for 81-87,(or 81-91 Blazer and Suburban). I would bite the bullet, and get the right window first. Joe.

    M1009 buy Is this worth the money?

    $1800 for 2 complete trucks with clear titles seems like a great deal to me. Unless they are total rust buckets, you should jump.

    Explosive Projectile Crates for M1009

    Yeah, the can is pretty rusty. Inside is really not that bad. I plan on using that pour-in-liner stuff. I'd like to use it for diesel, so should I paint a yellow strip around it and stencil "DIESEL" on it? I use a newer red one for Gas.
