I hate to say it but do you really think he will read it let alone understand it? I'd be looking for a different shop/mechanic. How far are from CUCVUS

I think thats a wrench for water or gas valves. But then again it could be for Blazer windows.

Yes and yes if you do have a gear reduction starter. Look on that site and you'll see how to ID what you starter you have. From your pic's I'd replace that flex pate and the starter drive gear.

No, tire size would have no effect on belt life. Are you using a good grade of V belt or some will fit cheapy brand?

Don't wait to long! Those brackets don't look like much but they are very important.

Dropping the tank is a PIA especially when there is fuel in it, that tank is pretty long and even 5 gallons or so starts sloshing from one end to the other can make it fall off a jack or tip and spill. Removing the bed is a pain too but I lean that way. I don't have a torch set so how I do it...

Yes, should have had them stock. Someone changed them over to 16.5s

It's a bit of a PIA but it won't hurt to get in there and clean and lube the WW linkages.

So no update? How bad was it? Interesting that you snapped a pic instead of grabbing a fire extinguisher.

Hate to derail this thread but has everyone changed over the summer air to winter air? Do it soon or else! As to the OP's question, from the post it seems the starter is turning and the engine is too, this time of year is when bad batteries and bad glow plugs start to show up. Assuming the truck...

No matter what year your title says order parts for a 1984 Chevy Blazer or C30 pick up with a 6.2L j code engine.

Now's a real good time to change those hinge bushings!

Keep it, it's a factory part and so much better than aftermarket!

Those bent valve look streamlined, sell them on ebay as a custom 'go fast' part.

I used to have a turn buckle that fit between the two pullys and extend outward and tighten the belt, notice I said "used to have "? Don't loan out tools and expect them back!

I know this is not applicable to the OP's case now but I'm going to tell the story anyway. Many years ago when I was young and broke I needed a car and couldn't afford much, I found a 73 Duster with a 225 six in it for $75! That was right up my ally, problem was it not only smoke badly but blew...
