No reason for both to be in nuetral, i like the steering locked,(cant do that with trans in nuetral) even though you could do it with a rope. i have blown a front tire on the towed vehicle without the steering being locked, wont do that again. did damage to both vehicles. my advice is worth what...

I run the transfer case in nuetral, transmission in park. make sure the fluid in t-case is full. this way its easier to unhook and go if needed. steering wheel stays locked if wanted going down the road(in case of a blowout on towed vehicle). i made up a light harness from the tow vehicle to...

87 was the last yr for the cucv I truck. the first truck in that yr would have hf300000 built around 8-86. of all the 87's ive heard about in the us ive never seen a sequencial number over 320000 with a build date of 9-86. i think this was an export truck built later in the model yr. what does...

the way i do it. crack the the black bleeder screw at the top of the fuel filter. crank engine for five seconds,stop, let starter rest for 2 minutes. look for air bubbles coming out of bleeder. crank again and wait for fuel to appear. this process should take a couple of tries. once you have...

you can clean the old motor up, put 12v to it, bet it works fine. use as a backup. thanks. mark

more than likely its the flywheel, its a common problem with these trucks. start saving for the repair or you can read about getting some long bolts, sliding the transmission back, and slipping the flywheel out between the small gap! its been done by many. good luck

im not sure if the box store(autozone) can check it, you may need to take to a starter place . was it dragging real bad? its hard to test a starter off the truck, because when there is no load on them they will spin good. i used to mount them to a block of wood and see if the starter drive...

you have a starter drawing way to much current or a loose connection at the battery. i would guess the former. you need some help! i would get the starter checked. you can melt the battery post to the point where you will need a new battery!

while you are in the process of doing the doghead relay mod, jump across the relay plug under the dash , your starter should spin. if not you have a bad connection somewhere else.

i think gm is partly to blame for the poor design. most folks check the top nut, but not the bottom. the first time i tried to remove the top nut on that ground strap without a backup wrench on the bottom i spun that black cable around my impact socket , pulling it and the power strip...

.... and that other big wire goes from the negative bus to the back of the intake manifold. it gets loose because gm put the ground cable on top of one of the intake bolts with another nut on top. remove the top nut that holds the cable.(you may have to get a thin 14mm-9/16 to hold the bottom...

for my 1028 you see to the left, gen 1 light was not working, ended up being the bulb socket , easy to reach laying on your back. pulled it out, bulb ohmed ok but no continuity across the socket with bulb intact. replaced socket and bulb, light comes on with switch, energizes without high idle...

1. turn engine over, if no start go to top of filter can base, twist the black knob, you should see fuel come out for a brief moment. if yes you have fuel. 2, remove return line fitting. see if there is pump material in fitting. if check ball has been removed someone knew about the pump flex...

generator one regulator is bad, overcharging.

autozone sells the rod for 11.00 if you break one. i broke 2 in one day yrs back. :ditto:

if you are going to get the truck inspected in texas, dont forget a license plate light to mount somewhere in the back. also check your horn, lights and e-brake, and wiper blades. sounds like you are on your way!!

its true, doctors still make house calls! good job!

in my experience ive seen one or two data plates actually on the valve cover when engines were overhauled. they now put them on the door post under the vehicle data plate. i took a picture, its from another post...

the rear has shoes, and you have to pull the axel shafts to do the brakes. i would try adjusting them first. e- brake work?. you will also need axel seals. its a pretty good job if you havent done one before, and very messy!

sorry you are having so much trouble. these guys you are using for mechanics are not helping you, there re just taking your money. no way should that truck be at 240 in 6 miles. like i said before, at that temp, you will start to hear convulsions from the cooling system. are you loosing coolant...
