    6.2L rear main seal replacement

    All of you guys are wrong! It's not leaking, it's just marking its territory!

    Heater switch melted… Why?

    That switch is available at many auto parts store, the plug is a bit harder to find new.

    LED Taillights?

    I bought a set and the work great, fit good too. Mine have a small micro switch on the back to change them from 'normal' to sequential flashing, that works good and is different. I was worried about water getting in at the switch so smeared it with silicon and then found out the sequential...

    Don't know what happened to my response , it somehow got mixed up with CUCVUS's quote.

    No rear taillights help

    The dim bulb is probably a bad ground, very common.

    Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner Housing

    I think you will get a bit of extra power with a snorkel, but you'd be hard pressed to measure it let alone see it. Where it might (key word) help would be cooler air when going up hill loaded it might (there's that word again) help keep the engine cooler. I did the snorkel to the core support...

    M1008 quick starting causes starter to grind - is this normal?

    No such thing as "starting to fast". You could (as said) be a bit slow releasing the key OR there could be some oil built up on the Bendix and that can cause it to stick a bit.

    Drivers side window came out of regulator bracket

    Never used that particular product but I have used others like it. It WILL outlast the truck! One time just as an experiment I used 3M urethane to 'glue' on a set of cab corners , it worked great except for the body filler didn't stick along that seam line. No biggie , I just wanted to see if it...

    Military Vic Serves Again

    Why would you want to pay $$$ to ship something both ways that will make you a stick out? If your doing intel work don't you want to blend in?

    Different Way to Plumb Dual Fuel Tanks

    WOW I haven't seen one of those in 30 years, I'm surprised they're still available. Back in the day that valve would be mounted on the floor between the driver's seat and the door, that way you can just reach down and switch it. If you have bucket seats it might be nice in the center somewhere.

    4WD Light

    The light just tells you the position of the lever, it doesn't know if the hubs are locked or not.

    Different Way to Plumb Dual Fuel Tanks

    Instead of one tank on each side install a Blazer or suburban tank in the rear and turn in around so the fill is on the left side. Use the fuel door a surrounding metal from the doner truck to finish the outside. As far as connecting them together I'd keep them separate and use a transfer pump...

    Are you questioning GM's engineers?

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Notice that rubber mat on the firewall? That is the coveted yet rarely seen firewall sound deadening, very nice thing to have combined with a hood blanket and floor insulation/carpet it can make for a very quiet and comfortable ride.

    Tachometer unit Chevy k30

    No idea about the fuel gauge but the tach is easy enough, just attach the pickup wire to one leg in either alternator.

    M1008 quick starting causes starter to grind - is this normal?

    My old truck (now gone) would start really quick, many people commented on it. If yours is grinding as or after the engine starts, I'd suspect the overrunning clutch on the starter gear drive assembly. It's easy enough to check and replace. JUST MAKE SURE YOU REPLACE WITH ONE FOR A 1984!!! THE...

    That's nothing to worry about, it's not a structural part.

    Time for some wiring

    I don't get it, why change fusible links and plugs when they are still working? I understand swapping out some bulb sockets that are exposed to weather but others not so much.

    Why are my starter bolts coming loose??

    " It actually cracked the inspection cover on mine as well. Apparently these starters have a lot of torque. I have been told if you don't take care of it, it can crack the block. " Yes it can, it can and will break the outer 'ear' off the block where the outer starter bolt threads into. and that...
