Maybe check linkage and position of high idle solenoid, may just be out of adjustment, or mounting bent or such.

I'd recommend planning it out well. I saw one of these conversions that left a lot to be desired, sitting at too much of an angle, fractions of an inch from the firewall, extremely loud and rattly. The guy who owns it wishes he left it stock. That said, I'm sure it could be done better, and...

Stop leak products will not be much of a fix if radiator is rotted out or badly damaged. But they do work long term for small holes in otherwise solid radiators. Blue Devil is the best one I have used as well, and has the benefit of not adding solids to cooling system the way some others do...

I'd check the shift linkage.

Your best bet may be a wire harness transplant from a junked or parted out CUCV, 1009, 1008 and 1028 have essentially the same harness. It is not difficult, much easier than making custom harness.

To the original question, the 82s and into 83 had some differences between them and all that followed. Those included the different injector threads, which has been mentioned. All of the old style ones I've seen were red from the factory, and the "new type" somewhere into '83 and beyond were...

Interesting thread, the locker does add significant play to rear driveline, so it makes sense it could affect shifting with a manual. I'll just add that I've noticed variation in the behavior of the locker in different trucks, all with original TH 400. Of course the way they act varies with...

If I were looking at it as a good solid, low miles work truck, easy to work on and no computers, instead of a collectable MV, might be worth $5 or 6K. Depends on amount of rust and local market though. The plow would be a plus in that case. My opinion only, not a lot of low rust ones around...

Thanks for the work done here. It must have taken some effort to migrate all the old gen threads out of aux equipment.

I ran into a feature on a brewing forum I thought was useful: A notification comes up if else someone has added to a thread while you are posting on it. Not a big deal, but might reduce some redundancy in replies. I tend to type kind of slow and deliberate, so it is not uncommon for someone...

You don't have to wait between tries if your batteries are in the condition they should be in. Also, 12 seconds is on the short side if it is very cold out. If it is much below 20F, and you do not have a block heater, a couple of tries is normal. The main point being not to crank the...

Cleaning them will probably help a lot, but when you pop test them, if the spray pattern is still not even, you may need to replace nozzles and lap the them in. I have not had to do this on many 6.2s, maybe because they usually do not live that long, but it is a common practice servicing...

When the GM return line became scarce, I started using the same German made stuff I use on my Mercedes diesel. It is well made and works, any good Mercedes parts place will have some, and probably the clamps too.

Yes, I know the theory of the voltage regulator operation, and it is true to some extent. My observations are from real world testing, stock pulleys side by side with smaller one in same truck over operating range RPM. About quality of cheaper auto parts store remans, I agree also, that is...

I know you did not ask me, but I had two china units fail with low hours on them. To the original topic; it is better to use the original sized pulleys. The smaller ones are likely to overcharge a bit.

If you are running stock 24V, you will be better off finding a good used CUCV harness if it needs to be replaced. There are too many differences from stock 12V system to make an aftermarket 12V harness an easy installation.

It's a Delco Remy 27 SI, 100amp, that may help you out. You can still get rebuilt non-isolated ground versions at auto parts store if you can't find a used one. They were used in a lot of Cadillacs of the era. The new reproductions have poor quality control, like most of the junk where they...

Yeh, there are a lot of grounds, and of course one should clean and secure them all, just pointing out a common problem that is not obvious on first look.

There is a ground wire in the front marker/directional signal socket that is often causes the problem you have. The contact in the plastic socket gets iffy, the easiest fix is to replace socket(s) but they can be fixed also.

I know someone who has a 5.9 and 4L80 in a 1028. It works pretty well, but is very loud, tight fit on motor length wise. The 208 transfer case failed towing in 4wd, now has a 205. Truck still runs and used locally, but it turned out not to be go everywhere truck he had hoped. He bought a...
