These are two excerpts from a DELCO REMY .pdf on their Gear reduction starters: The switch and wiring must meet or exceed a current rating of 300 amperes for 12V starters and 200 amperes for 24V starters. When replacing a 24V starter on all vehicles prior to 1990, the control circuit must be...

I am re-doing my cables for the battery/starter. The present battery-to-starter cable has an Anderson connector in-line to facilitate removal of the starter. I have since found that there are also smaller Power-Pole cable connectors so I was going to install one at the lower end of the Purple...

With all my starter problems I have been wondering exactly what is happening INSIDE of the starter solenoid that causes it to fail. I have seen a few pictures of solenoid interiors; but have not yet seen the inside of one of my own to verify the scale and location of the damage. I assume it is...

Have been looking for answers to my starter problem and ran across the articles on installing a solenoid on the firewall to fire the starter. Seem there is a simple way to jump the "s" post to the Battery post on the solenoid then put the Ford type solenoid on the firewall- like Ford...

I have to revive my post of 9/20/11 as yesterday I drove from Portland to Eugene and got a no start situation. I had to be towed home $500! I have a 28MT starter that has been running fine on my daily driver M1009. I had already done the Doghead mod long ago. I carry a spare relay so I changed...

I am trying to figure out how to rewire the harness that will go from a non-MIL radio (CB or Scanner) to a LS-671/VRC Speaker. I have standard CB civvy speakers; but I wanted to use the 671. I have looked over the schematics and it looks like the MIL Cable I have can be utilized by cutting off...

I was out that way this weekend, just got back from a drive to the John Day Fossil Beds. Spotted "my car". A Blazer with two rooftop antenna mounts. I was moving too fast to get a pic. I stopped at the Grocery there; but the folks, though friendly, didn't look like the type to entertain...

I was testing the cluster circuit "board" on the rear of the instrument cluster (on the kitchen table). The rear left turn signal would come on steady with the headlamps. I noticed three things: The bottom most tab that the wiring harness plugs into on the back of the cluster was canted...

I replaced the ignition key cylinder last week with a unit from NAPA. Today while I was out I went to start my Blazer and I hear the "No start" >clack< of the starter relay. I, in shock and fear, accidentally turn the key all the way back to the ACC position and try again. It fired right up. I...

I needed power up my new radio AND CB AND Scanner. In another thread I learned how to get one circuit for the radio; but this left me high-and-dry for the other electronics. Warthog tipped me to a useful add-on and after researching it I was able to put an axillary Fuse Block in near the...

Where/how can I get one that is coded to work off a standard CUCV "B" key? Mine works, but only forward, no ACC stop when turned rearward. I am pretty handy with household/hobby locksmithing; but have looked the cylinder over and can't figure out how to pull the cylinder apart without permanent...

The new ignition switch- the one that actually is located under the dash on top of the steering column, has an "accessory" stop; but I can't rotate my key rearward to it. Do M1009s not have this ability. I have a new scanner and CB that I'd like to run in accessory.

Last year I was having all these problems with my starter in the Blazer. I tried everything to chase the problem down- including replacing the 6TL batteries. Of course it wasn't the batteries aua. I have two new Group 31 batteries in place and the 6TL batteries are sitting on a pallet. Is...

I developed a crack in my windshield last week. I have comprehensive that covers the replacement- no deductible :-P. I wen't online to see what options there were in windows. The ones with the antenna in the glass were the same price from the local shops, so I ordered one up. Meanwhile, I ran...

I had one of the K&N Filters from my truck lying around- I removed it to sell the truck as stock. It is pretty efficient as it allows more air in in addition to an open-sided type filter that it sat on top of. Besides… it does look cool. I thought I would just try to figure out how to...

I installed the grill cover I ordered from Jatonka the other day. I gotta say, it was fast delivery, and fast to install. The quality seems top drawer as well. I ordered the "hardware Kit" I was glad to have it; but frankly, the parts would be half the price from ACE Hardware. Easy to install...

I was just wondering. Since I put my new Napa Heater Core in I have not ever though: "wow, that sucker is getting hot!" My temp gauge- yes gauge- I installed one on the passenger side boss, rarely tops 130* for the first 30 minutes or so. Today I got it near 150*. Beats overheating, I know, but...

I found this today while surfing for remedies to my starter issue. It is a .pdf for the Delco 28MT Gear Reduction Starter. This is the one that many will end up "upgrading" to when they choose to replace, rather than rebuild the current 27MT Direct Drive that was originally installed in the...

My new (er) Wilson MT28 Gear Reduction starter has been working like a champ since I put it in in the fall. I went to start it in the evening and it only wound up but did not seem to engage the Flexplate. I have not pulled the Flexplate cover off yet; but I was wondering if any of you have...

I just received an email "Alert" from Harbor Freight Tools. Seems they have a new line of winches. I have been toying with the idea of installing one on my Blazer; but have not committed because they seem like an expensive proposition. I realize there are better winches- the WARN seems to get a...
