AC 60Gs are real good they only take a little longer to heat up, bosch duratherm 80034-0 250 202 126-35T are of same or even better quality,they heat in about 6 seconds, but cost almost double......

265/70 R16 fit just fine, only keep them well inflated as the pressure drops the bead will not seat properly on the rim and might slip back....

just cleaned the check valve for the third time in five days:drool:, next time I'll knock it out.......

I’ve been pondering that for over a week now. how about drilling out the small pin on the side of the handle ?

After cleaning the check valve in the return line for the fifth time in a month I started to research into IP weight retaining flex ring replacement as apparently the ring degrades and its debris clogs the check valve. When it’s finally gone there is nothing to dampen the contact between metal...

I had similar problems, blew the fuel lines out with the compressed air and thoroughly cleaned the glass ball in the IP return line and the truck runs great now. Check that return valve and clean it with carb cleaner I’m 100% convinced that will solve your problem….if that doesn’t help (but I’m...

Well, I blew out the fuel lines and cleaned the return valve again and the truck now runs great. It’s scary when it shuts off while driving, I could barely steer and use brakes, just can’t imagine it happening on a narrow downhill road. How would you guys stop the track in that situation?

Thanks for your replies. The filter is new just changed it and bled the system. Took off the IP cover, there was some crude there, but not much, the return valve is also clear and the glass ball moves freely. The alignment line is 1/12 off to the right, is that ok? I’m planning to disconnect...

The truck shuts off while braking. I run fine before I fixed an oil leak where the fuel pump mounts to the block. I cleaned the tank, changed the fuel filter, changed rubber fuel hoses, cleaned the return line and the valve, and everything else I could think of. Also primed the system as per TM...

Thanks a lot. I’ll order the bracket and new bolts, just in case. Buygmpartsworldwide sells individual bolts at $ 1.70 and the reduction bracket is $10.28

Although I agree with you that keeping it 24v would be the best option, practicality commands the opposite. I’m Finn , at the moment working as a demining consultant in Bosnia. I bought the 1009 two months from the US embassy. It’s really nice and clean vehicle with 40000 original miles, I...

Well, first I must apologize for starting such a blasphemous topic as 12 v conversion :mrgreen: but I do need to take the 12V conversion route as my 24v starter is finally and totally broken beyond repair. I found this on ebay: NEW STARTER CHEVROLET GMC DIESEL 6.2 6.5 HIGH TORQUE V8: eBay...

If you’ve checked all your steering components and everything is nice and tight but you still need a lot of wiggling just to stay in the lane this could be a solution for you. Remove lower section of the steering shaft-the removal of the shaft is covered on the pages 468 of the -20 and 769 of...

Check TM 34p, page 662, fig. 291. There you’ll find the part numbers, than go toRockAuto Parts Catalog and order the parts (yes I’ve checked they have them…)

This is what my truck should look like when I’m finished with it. Just took a piece of my old uniform and digitized it. It will be a vinyl wrap with matte lamination. Ok, Ok, I know it’s a tahoe but I couldn’t find vehicle outline of a blazer and this was the closest match…..

I found this article on viscous fluid dampers but it lays out the replacement procedure quite clearly with tips on how to fabricate the instaler.
