If not allowed, seems silly to me. Look at the parts diagram I posted. If you see the part you need, send me a private message. I've got many PS brackets laying around.

Here's some diagrams for civilian 6.2 PS brackets.

I've got many PS brackets off of civilian rigs. You'll have to do your own research and find out which ciivlian parts will fit. I've got junked diesel trucks, Suburbans and Blazers with 6.2s from 1982 to 1992. C-code, J-codes, some with AC and some without. I've only seen two versions...

I stick a pair of 120 watt panels on my Blazer roof - but NOT when driving. 120 watt panel is 56" by 26" and weighs 26 lbs. I have quick disconnects, so if parked somewhere it's easy to plug them in and stick them where ever the sun is. On the roof or on the ground. 12 volt solar panels in...

Having an extra battery NOT connected to your starting batteries can be real nice to have. I used my diesel Blazer for a few years to run power tools. This where I was building a cabin and no grid-electricity was available. I started out with one extra deep-cycle battery, but later made it two...

Hmm. . . . I guess you have appointed yourself the official guardian to the guy that asked the incipient question? I did attempt to answer his question - with specifics - in post #3. If he didn't understand it, or appreciate it - seems he could speak up on his own behalf instead of his...

The guy that owns and runs the 6.2/6.5 diesel website posted full specs and pictorial years ago - on how to do it. He first posted it when Delco first started selling the Beru AC60Gs. His website (if Jim still runs it) is at: http://www.62-65-dieselpage.com/ I reprogramed two of my...

So, facts confuse you?? Sorry. If confused, then just don't read my posts. Simple solution. Maybe you are more comfortable with your head in the sand? All batteries are not the same, and the advertised specs that many battery sellers use arr confusing and often misleading. That's why I...

Any reputable battery seller will have to have load-test specs on hand, or they would not be able to test any batteries for warranty purposes. In general, batteries usually load-test at 1/2 their advertised CCA rating. Also, batteries sold by BCI group # usually have to conform to minimum...

Let me first point out that my diesel Blazers are civilian with 12 volt systems, not military with "partial" 24 volt systems. Both civilain and military run the glow plugs at 11-12 volts. On first generation civilian models, there's a controller and a separate relay. The way to add a...

NO. I mean exactly what I already stated . . . i.e. "two at zero degrees F give the same power as one at 70 degrees F." A typical battery for a diesel Blazer is a BCI # 78. Rated at 875 CA (that's at 32 F) and 700 CCA (that's at zero F). That battery in the real world - hooked to an amp-draw...

I've got two 83 Blazers that have been like that since they were new. They start fine when cold, start fine when hot (within 10 minutes of shutdown) but otherwise need a lot of cranking. You need to either turn up your fuel delivery - or run your glow plugs longer. During a time when...

6.2 starter draws around 300 amps when cranking at the usual 9 volts (if a 12 volt system) or 150 amps at 18 volts (if a 24 volt system). A battery rated 750 CCA can deliver around 350-400 amps at 60-70 degrees F in a 12 volt system and 200 amps in a 24 volt system. At zero F, the battery...

That thing you're calling a "check valve" on top of the pump has no effect on engine starting. You could leave it out - or plug it shut and engine would still start. If plugged, the engine will start fine, then lose power, and then quit - over and over and over. If you left it out, the engine...

I don't agree at all. The Volkswagen diesels for example had a very long run. From the 70s to the 90s with one basic engine design. Diesel Rabbit was a fantasic little car. Parts were and still are cheap and Amish farmers are still using them to power horse-drawn, self-powered farm equipment...

It's not that bad. Main thing is - you have to clean the push-rod with paint thinner, or gas. Get all the oil residue off it. When clean and no longer slippery, you coat it with heavy grease and push it up. I've put many in 6.2s that way. The key is getting the oil off the rod first. I...

I ruined a 205 transfercase from body-flex. That was in my 1968 Dodge Power Wagon. The body was so rusty it moved off the frame a bit if I braked too hard. One day, while in low-range 4WD, I hit the brakes fast, but pushed the clutch in at the same time. But . . the body came off the...

Just to clarify, the kits were called "arctic" because they were designed for use in areas that often ran almost pure kerosene in extreme cold- insttead of #2 diesel. Since that's pretty much what military JP8 fuel is, these kits were often installed in 6.2s for use in any temps. Pumps get...

The first run of Olds-GM 350 diesels certainly were bad but. After GM got sued and came out with the new DX replacement engines 1981, they were much better. Near the quality of the 6.2s, but smaller and in an Oldsmobile bolt pattern that wasn't very useful. Those Olds 350 diesels are now...
