Well I got the news from CALTRIC regarding my starter. They are sending me a replacement solenoid via Priority Mail. I put two new Group 31 batteries on. The battery tray is made to take them I found out. The battery is just a little longer than the top brace So I used a dremel on the plastic...

Mine are Silent Armor all around including the spare. Stock M1009 size. So far, good tire, they don't seem noisy to me.

Oh, don't THANK me ;) .

cmroles, My Blazer had a few layers of paint over the old stenciled in numbers. I used a sanding sponge from Harb. Frght.and took even strokes until it was exposed enough to read it.

Can the solenoid on a gear reduction starter be opened and serviced? I think I figured out what is the problem with my starter. The starter relay mod clicks. but the starter does not spin up on the vehicle. When I remove the starter and bridge the "S" bolt to the battery cable bolt with a...

gvaneck, uh oh. I did not know about expanding foam not being an option here. I guess I assumed since it was used to seal up drafts it would be ok here. Maybe there is an alternative "space filler". Thanks.

I think that looks great! I wonder if you could: A) apply the fatmat. B) Shoot expanding foam in all the ribs. C) Shoot the whole thing with a few coats of undercoating to get a good result. I gotta do something, and I just want to do it once so I get a lasting good out come. I have tried to...

I just finished putting in two group 31 batteries. Went to start it thinking that would end my starting problem... NO. I have gone thru the TM manuals for troubleshooting the starter; but I think it must be the solenoid- the starter is new and under warranty; I'd rather put a solenoid in; but I...

I like the look of the 6TL battery; but I would rather drive than admire a dead battery. If there is no great replacement for a 6TL I am looking at options: The Red Top Optima 34/78 has 800 CCA / 1000 CA is this enough? I don't have a winch or large electronics on-board.

is it a buzzing or more of a sizzling noise?

Undercoating! Yep, I am going with that when the sun comes out again. I plan on shooting as much of the wheel wells as possible. May try to spray the inside of the hood :neutral:. I have some of the sound mat sheets to slip into the doors and on the inside firewall under the new mat I bought...

I think I watched a video of the R&R of a chevy ignition lock on youtube. Take a look.

Chupa, I'd like to see your rack! I bought a Pioneer rack off of a Humvee and would like to see how you mounted yours.

I like it. I'd start looking for one if I had a place to park it. Maybe cause for another thread; but Q: Do you big truck owners simply collect these rigs or do you find they are good daily drivers? I am watching the cost of gas/diesel rising and am wondering about all the V8's in the driveway...

CUCV yell ARMY when people open the door or cup their hands against the window and look inside? What have you added to yours?

#%$^%@^! , I got in the Blazer, waited for the WAIT light. Cranked as it should but did not start. I tried again and on the second turn all I heard was CLICK. Someone give me another troubleshoot I can try please. I, like you, need reliability and after laying on my back for a week to get it...

Paint! I take my rigs in the stix during hunting season. They squeeze down dirt roads that crowd in from both sides and discourage most after 5 or 10 yards. I keep going as the worst that happens is that I get branch marks in the paint. Sometimes the road opens up and I get into some nice back...

I have a suburban that does the same thing. It started about the time I noticed my dash lights and amperage lamp surging ever-so-slightly. Have your alternator(s) tested.

yes, the starter support bracket. If you don't have one, you need it. If it is loose, you need to remove/clean it and the block and replace it. I recommend adding the ground wire ND cleaning the existing grounding strap.

I am going to add a simple alarm that sounds when it senses a current drop- as when someone tries the handle. Because I leave my truck in the sticks while I am out hunting, I usually add a battery ON/OFF knob to kill all power and keep from ending up with a dead battery in case of my negligence...
