    lack of power

    Not to be Mr Bad news... That crap clogging the return check valve is coming from someplace. My guess is that your IP Gaskets are taking the proverbial dump. Keep your return valve cleaning kit in the truck as you will probably be doing it again in the future. And frequency of such cleanings...

    Ebay starters...bad idea?

    Im a little enlightened when it comes to these... Autozone in your area sells a starter that will do just fine. It has a lifetime warranty. I would suggest in the STRONGEST possible terms that you go to a chevy dealer and get the proper starter bolt for this application as the chevy 350...

    lack of power

    If you run a search for the return fuel line in the cucv forum someone posted a pic of it. Might have to sort through since its been covered but it is a common topic. While youre at it.... look in the motor valley and see if theres a puddle of fuel sitting there. If there is you may have a...

    Coolant filter in CUCV

    I dig it... The cheapest recomended guy in the area said it needs to be soldered in 4 areas which he said was no big deal. $75 just to get started, maybe $125 for a complete job but said he could only guarentee it for like 90 days. He showed me where the cracks were and talked with me about...

    Coolant filter in CUCV

    I will be purchasing a NOS radiator in the 1009 and wanted to see what other folks had done. While I agree to a point that a coolant filter is 6 of one/ half a dozen of the other when it comes to changing the antifreeze I'd like to see this next radiator last a very long time. Going to a parts...

    tie rod end

    Gentlemen: I replaced my tie rod end with a Euclid E4611 tie rod end. For the most part they are a duplicate of the old tie rod end, with a zerk fitting as well. The E4611 is for the curbside so if you go to the parts store make sure you let them know if its the passenger or driverside, as the...

    83 CUCV Blazer wont start

    I think you covered it when you stated the GP wasnt warming up. Fix that or confirm that the plugs are warming up. After that the truck should fire. Get back to us with what you find.

    tie rod end

    I am now in the same boat. Only number I can give my parts guy is 2530007521602 and he says that number doesnt help him. For whatever reason if Lee and Lowtech wrote something above, its not showing up. A Meritor number is what Im needing for the curbside tie rod end.

    how to keep people from joyriding / messing with a deuce?

    Theres a lot of ways to do it but the most effective way I personally have found is a big bright light on the vehicles. A motion light from a different angle in conjunction dont hurt either. So far Ive been lucky too but a dude makes his luck in a way. I see the cops out, I wave em down and talk...
