Hear the radio!

I have a1009 and put a 700R in i. Best thing I ever did to it,but I have 3.42 gears and 35’s. It really could use 3.73 with these tires. As others have said your truck won’t be in overdrive very much, but what everybody is missing is the lockup torque converte! This is a game changer itself. I...

Thanks CUCVRS for your tip about the 10 amp fuse at the bottom of the fuse panel! I have owned my blazer for about 10 years and the gen 1&2 lights nor the voltmeter ever worked. I read your tip the other day, and went out in the garage and looked and no fuse. Put one in and both lights and gauge...

Picture 2 above is the brace that only k/5’s have.

No that’s not the brace I/ we are referring to. It’s in front of the rear tire, something only on blazers, not pickups. I am too computer illiterate to find a picture and post, but someone will.

Bingo! That added brace is what I look at first on any k5. If that is intact, chances are the rest of the truck(bodywise) should be good.(corrosionwise)

I put 7gallons once , 10 gallons another in my 04 Duramax and she’s still going strong with 225,000 miles on her!

You probably have some bad glow plugs.

If your glows are working right, you should only need 15 seconds of holding the manual button and it should start. I wouldn’t hold it more than that and then start it. If it doesn’t start wait a minute and repeat.

No, I didn’t check voltage at harness,where is the resistor you speak of? Thanks

I will get pictures when it stops raining

I checked voltage not running,12.2 volts each, running 14.4 volts each. No gen lights or voltmeter? Could a previous owner modified something to bypass the lights and gauge? The passenger side alt doesn’t look like it has any insulators on the mounts and yes I have a 24 volt starter.

I have been reading this thread and it came to me that I don’t ever remember seeing my gen lights on! I went out and turned the key on and sure enough, no lights. I have had the blazer for about 10 years and the volt meter doesn’t work or the lights, but I know at least one alternator is...

Try an outboard boat gas can.

I hope you have better luck than me. On my 1009 it started whining and I pulled the pan down, screen was clogged up with clutch/ friction particles. I put new screen and filter and got about 100 miles out of it then it quit.

Nice mount. I actually saw your truck on rt. 38 in Moorestown about a month ago. Cool truck!

Filter head, mine was doing same thing so l bypassed the stock filter and installed a napa base with a big filter and problem solved.

Thanks! Learn something every day.

Why are there 3 wires on blackout lights in back? Obviously one is a ground, one is hot when switched on , what is the other?

Bought a rusted out 6.2 diesel suburban with a rebuilt 700r in it. Took everything out in one piece and put it in the 1009. Have the torque converter lockup running with a toggle switch. Years ago I put axles from another blazer in it that have 3.42 gears in them. I have much better "holeshot"...
