Listen to Mike. I know a lot of CUCV owners in person and on the net. We all had the problem and we all fixed it the same way. A nice HD solenoid under the dash. None of us have burned one out yet since. The only thing I see has been the common cause is when we installed the Gear Reduction Starters.

I just got a sale paper from Summit Racing. They have the Edelbrock Performer IAS Twin-Tube Front Shocks, Full Size GM Pickup '69-'91 on clearance for $6 each. Reg. $49.95. Stock, 4" & 6" lifts. I just ordered some so they are in stock. My extras will be on sale next year for $25 each. :-P...

I see several problems. First off is that 1K in a un-insulated Blazer is going to get real tiring for your family fast. If you don't think it is loud in there, take a small trip with some ear plugs on and a block from your destination pull them out. That is a lot of weight for a bumper hitch...

How did you Tune the shift points? Do you have an adjustable modulator?

Hard to argue with that.:-D

I wouldn't say it's normal.

I'm on the No side. Like AJM said the engine and tranny are fine. It's that 3:08 gear ration that is going to hurt. A quality AUX. Trany Cooler is a good idea.

I think either one is going to make it feel like a dog taking off compaired to the 4.56's. The worst part will be long upward grades where that weight is going to hurt. On the other hand 4:10's should give you another 12-15mph top speed.

On another thread I posted that my glow plug solenoid never cycles on and off like I keep reading. In the morning I would turn the key and the wait light would be on and the volt gauge would be in the yellow. After the light would go out I would start her up. The volt gauge still showed the...

I'm in Coram. You?

That syrupie sweet smell reminds me of maple syrup.

Another one saved. Good job. So what are your plans?

8-)Very cool. Like you said, "It's going to be a fun summer toy".

I have a fogged out rear Black Out Light and have been looking for a while to get a new set. The ones I always see had the old round elec. connector and I finally found a pair with the weather tight connectors cheap and new. My question is, are these being used in modern MV's? Look at the...

Also, what typs GP's did you install?

Just some info if you guys ever have to take out the heater core. After removing the seat the whole job just took about 45min. to remove. I have to go pick up a new one and it should only take about 30min. to re-install. The worst part was removing the original hose clamps. They were so old they...

Awesome pic's. :-D I hate living on a flat Island. :cry:

Yeah it was the heater core I was smelling this morning. I've done Blazer ones before, no big deal. I'll see you in the morning to pick up my tools. I'm going to make a day of it and fix the oil leak and do a service. I have to take out the seats and pull the mat too. I want to clean out the...

On the way to work I smelled it.:-? After work I jumped in and sure enough a nice puddle of green on the floor.:sad: Glad it was less then a 15min ride home because I could barely see out the windshield and I won't crave pancakes for a long time. :) Oh well, I guess yard work will wait...

I spent a lot of time under mine and looking at that wire diagram. I now know it well.:-D
