Crazy as it may sound I have used new driveshafts and they are complete with all new parts. They are balanced. Looking at the driveshaft you are showing I can see worn splines on the main shaft and am sure 40 years has not been kind to the CV joint. Just a suggestion to replace it with new...

My fishing trip was a success as far as getting out and doing something relaxing. I arrive at the river at 0900 and fished till 1600. I only caught 1 18” Flathead Catfish. That species is considered an evasive species by Maryland DNR so I gave it the death sentence and feed it to the vultures...

If you are close I have a few decent doors. Some brand new.

After all my struggles to get the OEM black rear window crank together and trying to find a lock cylinder that I could have coded or a coded cylinder I was able to find one in a cabinet drawer in my barn. A brand new GM uncoded cylinder. I bought one from YOT on line but it had the old school...

I have it. I have lock cylinders with no keys for parts.

Easy. Yes. Dorman 75510 can be bought on Amazon the great river has everything. Google 1984 GM door lock pawls. it has the bars and the clips you desire.

When one is prepping for surgery it is time to dig out all the tools and parts and carefully select which part is nice enough to be used. I have the right door in the raw. I must select the right screws and ones that are in the best condition. I like to use OEM fasteners when possible. Top vent...

I am going out to work on my project today. I will report back. Dr approved to do this work. I must complete this M1009. More later as it happens. Wish me Luck. Complete with pictures. Oh Joy,

I was in search of some OEM 6.2 starter bolts and 6 months ago I could have bought as many as I wanted. Now GM has discontinued them GM part number 15544950 is limited to what dealers have in stock. No big deal but I did buy the last 2 my local dealer had in stock and also the 28MT gear...

As a rule I do NOT reuse flex plate bolts. I recall that at the GM garage we always replaced them when doing transmission removals and replacements. The new bolts have red lock tight coated threads. I drove 1 CUCV M1028A1 174k and never had anything apart on the driveline. I sold it 10 years ago...

When it was completed and is currently residing in Germany.

Those are the ballast resistors that are mounted on the firewall behind the air filter. I will get you a better reason as to why I retain them on my trucks but all I can think of is because they worked for the past 35+ years and yes, I have had glow plugs fail at times. I corrected the issue and...

I have 40 + year's experience and that small ground that runs to the radiator core support had nothing to do with the truck not starting. I started these with no core support and the batteries ratchet strapped to plywood on the right frame rail. The radiator had a wooden mount and was held with...

If that is the only ground you have to the engine that is the problem. You should have a large cable from the bottom negative buss bar running directly to the rear of the engine block and bolted down to a coolant cover plate stud/bolt with an M10 1.5 bolt. If you were drawing all the cranking...

That is a little diode that is wrapped in the tape. It has nothing to do with charging or starting. The large ballast resistors are the large cylindrical black pieces that were bolted to the firewall with 3 bolts and a heavy metal cover. You MUST load test batteries regardless of age and...

I rebuilt both of my vent windows. I was going to send them to Precision but at $564. plus, shipping both ways I passed. I bought the Precision seals from LMC and did it myself. It was NOT easy, but I was persistent. I used window cleaner as lube vs silicone. I didn't want silicone all over my...

OK. Game over.

A little late here, Is the starter support firmly attached and are the starter bolts tight and correct M10 x 1.5 and not 3/8" the 3/8" will fit and get tight but not hold under the stress of starting. Good Luck. If the flex plate is chewed turn the engine a bit and see if it engages.
