Rebuid an alt with isolated ground
My #2 alt lamp is on steady as of this morning. I can't seem to find one on the shelf. Am I looking too hard? I am sort of in a hurry cause the hunting season opener is here. Where can I find one on the shelf- I'd take it to a rebuilder; but the one I normally...
Firefox: Good catch. In an earlier thread of mine (much earlier) I had a similar problem. I Removed my Delco DD starter (turned out to be a 12volt model). I put a chinese junk model in at that time (gear reduc), also bought the correct bracket from the dealer at that time- so it was already in...
Resolved:
I ordered a Wilson Gear Reduction MT28 to replace the Chinese one from ebay. I remember ordering the one off the bay and thinking I'd probably be better off replacing it with an American new OR quality American rebuilt; but the auction looked good and my thrify side said: "how bad can...
I have been thinking of a way to cut down my Cargo Cover for my M1008 to fit my blazer. I would have to add a clear window, I suppose to maintain a rearview; but It does look cool IMHO.
Cut the poles down, then girdle cut the top and drop it down over the bottom portion of the cover about six...
David, I read and reread this OP of yours and I don't understand if the problem was fixed in this thread so far. I know it has been a long while since you posted this; but I just bought a new ignition switch because I was not getting a crank when turning the key. What was the fix?
acesneights1, you are so right. Even NAPA, the last of the holdouts, is embarrased to tell me that a part is now made in china- no CAPS for those guys. **** I opened a new Blu-Ray player a few weeks ago and on the remote control I see "Made in china"... the Koreans are even getting their stuff...
I am in the process of pulling my starter for replacement. I bought it in February this year and it is still under warranty. It is a Caltric from daBay. (1 year warranty... we'll see)
Anyway. I tested it per the TM and found that there is indeed power to the purple wire at the starter solenoid...
ralbelt, I read that already. In my OP I state that the batteries were checked- I didn't mean I checked them and they were dead. They each showed 12.55 volts. That seems like enough to crank the engine over, yet I am only getting 19.5 volts at the purple wire at the starter solenoid. I am...
wired1000, I gonna call this fellow Tom up and get a starter sent out. Is yours the DD or gear reduction type. Do you have a part number and price? I am in Oregon, so I'll have to call tomorrow, as he is probably gone for the day.
I am not sure how to test amps... Is this what a "Load Test" does?
I checked voltage at the purple wire at the starter solenoid per TM -20's Malfunction test #42. I got a reading of 19.5Volts. Is this too low to crank the engine?... even a little?
Read applicable threads already; but no help so far.
I have been chasing a "No Crank" problem for the past 48 hours. Ran wiring down as per TM. The situation is: Turn the key. All the requisite dash lights come on and cycle. All I hear is a click. Batteries checked, starter checked. Reminds me...
I am checking all the wiring back from the starter relay. Has anyone found any of these wires to be problematic. I ask because they seem strong at the connectors; but some of them disappear into the harness and I am having a helluva time finding where they come out. Without pulling the starter...
under the dash. I have replaced my batteries with two new ones. The GP card is new from Antenna Climber.
I have been driving it for months since I cleaned the GP card contacts with sandpaper and inserted the new GP card. But today, out-of-the-blue, I turned the key, the WAIT light came on for...
I have read all, I think, threads regarding fuel injectors on this forum. It is my feeling that the injectors in my Blazer could use a rebuil. I understand that they are not too difficult to R&R; but I also have read that they can be easily rebuilt- though not easily tested by a DIY'er.
Is...
K9Vic, yep, I seemed to have screwed up- don't ask me how; but I ended up ordering from the truck catalog. I have a 73 3/4 T pick up and must have not checked that it was the blazer catalog I wanted when I wrote down the Mat number.
skysix, the dashmat was bought from a gal on ebay: Seller's...
Thanks for all the great ideas guys. I like the idea of coming off the rear seat buss. I'll take a look today.
K9Vic good call on the mat difference. I am going to check the order and invoice now. From the pics, I definitely got the wrong one. Now the question is, am I that lame that I screwed...
