Yes!! now I know what that fire thing is...I don't have them on either vehicle, there is a wire run from the front positive battery to the block on the firewall...big thing that did bother me is it is not fused and is probably 5 feet long...I am going to do a amp test on it with everything...

So I'm at a silly impasse...I read the TM to page 164 last night, found some great info on diag but no actual part numbers...got pretty tired and gave it a rest...I'm familiar with TMs since I have several gensets to keep running but can't seem to get to the part numbers at the end of each...

It's great you got it back!! It'll be new once you're done! You should have enough parts to get it done spot on too! If the antenna mounts are the ones that mount to the outside I know someone that's dieing to have an antenna on his blazer! We're making a list for the next trip up to help empty...

So glad ours isn't that bad...albeit it is bad but has good supports...replacing just the floor pans and rockers isn't horrible until you get into structure then it gets nuts!! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Tough to tell by the pic but the return line to the fuel tank might leak like that...it's a braided line that goes through to the tank held in place by a rubber grommet that can leak as well...a few more pics would help of the actual leak area...unless it's everywhere!

So the saga continues!!! Had the son change the oil filter...see pic...I have limited knowledge of non gas engines so I did what I've seen a bunch do to get these running...I bled the fuel filter first then cracked all the injector lines until fuel came out and it started!! The hilarious part is...

He's not talking about the 2 big bolts that bolt the starter to the block...there's a bracket that bolts to the front of the starter case then to the block...the block side is metric and the starter is standard size...the 2 main bolts are knurled up by the threads. Sent from my SM-G955U using...

I laughed when I took it out and saw the fine thread...it was barely finger tight...my bet is they popped it in there to mess with the next guy that would try to use it!! It was a m8x1.00...I would have been playing for a while if you didn't tell me what was supposed to be there!! I have tons of...

Starter installed!! Was interesting trying to figure out how to fit this monster in between it all... I decided to lift the front spring with my jack to get room to fit through the axle and engine which worked very well...now for that rear bracket...there was a bolt in the spot where it should...

So we got at finishing up the front bumper and brush guard install tonight! Was crazy...had a tough time keeping those heads to stay in and not turn! Got them though and now it's on solid! I used my persuader to bend back the middle of the brush guard so now it's pretty straight! The last thing...

I guess I'm assuming since it comes off 2 inches it's not catching the inner edge of the shoe?? Maybe the shoes are not worn square and catching the shoe in the middle and stopping it from there!! That does happen for sure...I hope that adjuster isn't frozen and moves!! If that's stuck you'd...

I hear that!! These drums are pretty heavy!! I think semi truck guys have a drum lift to get them on and off easier...but it doesn't hurt to have an extra person there in case you get stuck under it...think of it like a car front brake rotor that has the pack bearings in it...they get a little...

That's good it comes off some...I assume the outer bearing will come out if you push the drum back in? I think you said it didn't but I'd work hard at getting that out...should be able to wiggle the inner race off once you can get the outer bearing out...think that's where I'd start...there are...

You got the nut off but you pull on the drum and it won't slide off...can you spin the drum by hand? ..like make it go around like it was being driven?...does it have a bunch of wobble? I've had a few that the oil in the diff went low and the bearing race spun and dug into the spindle...can be...

He'd kick my azz if I went up there for a hood and rad support if I did that!!!...if I had any left after I kicked it myself!!! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Yeah the guy we got that and the other bumpers from used it to lift up the truck to cut it apart! I'm not sure if I'll try to hard to bend it back...but yes I do have a massive 25 lb demo axe that might move it!...or destroy the hood and radiator if I miss!!! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

So after a awesome trip up to the one and only CUCVRUS the other day...he's as cool in person as he is here online...so much info and just a all around nice guy...we got all kinds of stuff that the truck needed...also found out it's a 1028 with the way the bed is laid out...I had no idea...the...

Thanks!! I wish I could say I have done this before to act like I know what I'm doing!!! We have time to double take everything to make sure things are fitting right and soon to be welded in tight! Doing this with my son is a blast too...he's really digging in and working hard to get this done!

Had some fun making some bumps and bends today...this floor is darn close but still needed fitted to the existing floor...at the front of the back seat is a pretty big hump that it didn't have so we had to make it with a railroad rail I had in the back yard...this thing has made a good bit if...

We've fit the door several times so far...only had to adjust by using a sand paper grinder on the rocker ends to get it to fit real tight and even...very happy with the fit...I'm lucky since I worked in a shop that had a large body shop for 15 years so I got to see tons of different methods of...
