Agreed.

Awesome work great looking truck. Mind sharing which brand/model/part nos. for the seat covers and center console?

Hope this old post of mine helps with answering the question of what can be used for providing isolated ground: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?54524-What-have-you-done-to-your-CUCV-today-lately-Part-1&p=1318792&viewfull=1#post1318792 Looks like Wilson Electric will utilize...

For what it's worth, I used the following. I shopped for prices, and think I got the sending unit and tank straps from rockauto. But the tanks (pickup as well, second (passenger side) tank also) I got from Raybuck...

Or just replace the relay. I have seen it reported (and experienced it once myself) that the old relay will not function well after the resistor bypass. A new relay seems to be the fix. Also, considering what $$ you will be putting into new AC60G's a new relay is a relatively small...

Cold start issue: Glow plugs? Starter spinning fast enough? (sounds like you have gone through the likely fuel delivery issues) Idle issue: Idle speed too low? Less likely IMO but is the air filter clean? Not precluding the above suggestions. But always start with the basics. :-) Next...

Memory Steer Perform an internet search on the term "memory steer".Memory Steer Memory steer is the term used to describe a vehicle that continues to pull to the left or right after completing a turn in that same direction. A steering wheel (caster) is supposed to assist the driver...

Spot on! (or close enough) The fact that your upper radiator hose and left radiator tank are cold when the crossover is hot indicates the thermostat is remaining closed. Take the truck for a long drive with the cardboard in place to see if the upper hose gets hot, which would indicate the...

Insufficient Heat Diagnosis Flowchart So, here is how GM instructed it's service technicians on how to diagnose insufficient heat being generated to warm up the cab for all 1984 truck models. You will note the use of a 220 degree thermometer to measure the air output at the dump door. You...

Of course, what is "best" is situational. But the most generally accepted "best" way to repair rusty sheet metal is to cut out the rusted metal to where there is solid metal. Then cut/form a patch to weld in. There are also structural adhesives that can be used to glue patches in place...

OK, so those heater hoses should be getting pretty warm to the touch, especially the one attached to the crossover. Remember, there is nothing preventing the flow of coolant through your heater core when the engine is running. So, if both are nice and toasty you have plenty of heated coolant...

How a thermostat works ... I don't believe it would. The thermostat is a valve that is either closed or open. Now, upside down is a relative term. There is the orientation parallel to the axis in which there is a cone shaped end and a plug shaped end. The plug is sometimes referred to as...

Let's start by checking how hot that crossover and heater hose are getting. That will narrow down where to look next. Should take 15 minutes or so. Enjoy the anniversary celebration!

I guess it depends on what you are trying to do. If you want to check to see if the cable is actuating the door, you just need to look under the dash and watch as you move the lever. If you want to see what condition the door is in then I see no other options but to remove the assembly from...

You can easily tell if your clutch is the thermal or non-thermal type. The face of the clutch closest to the radiator will have a bi-metallic thermostatic coil spring at the axis (center) of the clutch. Coil spring = thermal. No coil spring = non-thermal. AC Delco online catalog replacement...

I concur ...

There are several voltage regulators available for the 27SI, some with different Vsets. It is possible your rebuild used a different part. As far as the flashing alt 2 light, start simple and check belt tension, pulley and belt wear and engine idle speed. Make sure all connections are clean...

Respectfully, let's see what he finds doing careful methodical testing. One step at a time. If that engine is running, it is generating waste heat. No ifs, ands or buts. That heat must be going somewhere. No choice. Otherwise that truck would be overheating. You cannot defy the laws of...
