ROTFL

I have never seen a broken starter bolt due to ether, now i have seen some other horrible things happen, but the starter kicks the gear back as the engine over speeds it, thats why the grears are shaped the way they are.

that should be the throttle position sensor.

I have attached the pic you linked to. Please post all further images on this site directly. thanks.

get a welding self help book, it will explain the basic techniques. from there its all practice.

yup. you can unplug the controller card after doing that. although some people's cards just stop turnning the glow plugs on, if that is the case then you can leave the card in and the wait light will still function.

RE: 85 chevy the switchs to the left of the headlight. the far left one turns the blackout lights on/off, only if the other switch is in the down position. if the second from the left switch is in the up position the service lights (headlights, blinkers, running, brake lights) are turned on. if...

a picture of one, or its military designation might help.

a gm dealer might be able to get this part for you still, but your better to get one from a junk yard.

RE: 85 chevy tailgating, thats what the "magic" switch on the dash is for, flip it off and tap the brakes. (did i say that out loud) ;)

tap, means gently hit it with a hammer, not hard but firmly. If it gets you started. you have a bad starter solinoid, (the small cylinder on the starter) and you could get away with just replacing that. But for the cost of a rebuild ($120) I'd just have it rebuilt once you know that the starter...

tsmall, if that light never goes out, you have a bad gp controller card. and if its always glowing the plugs it will burn them out. If it comes on a few times just after starting the truck, thats normal operation.

OMG, IF YOUR TRUCK ISNT 12V, GET THOSE PLUGS OUT NOW!!!!! They will swell from the increased voltage the cucv sends to them. The cucv runs the gp's through a big resistor on the firewall. It drops the 24v from both batteries to ~18volts and then lowers it to 12v as the resistors heat up. This...

LOL, its a K30. its four wheel drive. see the dana 60 in the first pic. That truck started life as a dually, I bet is a real m1028a(2 or 3) just the bed was removed and a flatbed installed.

RE: 85 chevy I love mine, esp starting it in the wee hours of the morning during winter. HEHEHEHEHE My one neighbor hates me, and I do it just to piss him off.

RE: Re: RE: P/N for TH400 dipstick? If it doesnt leak or hit anything, and you can get to it to check the level and fill. I wouldnt mess with it.

you can find the 6.5TD intakes easily. you will need to get the upper and the lower halves. since they bolt down differently than the 6.2 intake hat.

Better, get the buddy with a welder to let you play with it, it doesnt take long till you can make strong welds. The good looking welds take lots of practice though ;)

Hoot, get the booster, master cylinder and also the PS pump.

great advice.
