Well, I tried playing with it this morn and actually got it open. After removing several parts/components, I figured out wotz wrong. I didnt remove glass or regulator mechanism, and therein lies the problem. Something is causing the window to not go all-the-ways down. I think in the guide tracks...

The tailgate window will not go all the way down, and the tailgate will not open. I know theres linkage to prevent it from opening, (I guess to protect the glass), I cannot get inside the gate to see whats wrong. HELP!! (The glass [at center] stays about 1'' above the rubber seal...

Picked up an old brass radiator for '82 '84 '85 (+ more?) from '85 6.2 suburban. What procedure to go through to test it? Another is available possibly

Turns out I didnt run out of fuel. I Thought that before the replacing filter, I would figger out why it got air in it. In the procedure, (was much easier than expected!) cranking for about 5-6 seconds, I got plenty of fuel, (maybe one cup). closed bleed valve, sucker started right up! Now I...

I ran my '84 Blazer 6.2 out of fuel. I will replace the fuel filter before doing this. Is there an easy way to bleed the system after filter change??? I have the Helms book, have not looked yet. (been years since last change). Since retirement, I drive it prolly about 1,000 mi yearly, same my MB...

I have the brand "Diesel KIKI" nozzles in my '84 Blazer since about 20+ years ago (retired 12 yrs ago). I believe they are licensed from Bosch. I know they're made in Japan, 20 yrs ago anyway, , , , Never any issues, , , ,

I ran across an old brass radiator, it was just laying out on the ground! Whats best, take to radiator shop, test(?) at home? How would I even do that? -c-

I'll look into these suggestions, , , thanks!

GM does not sell these anymore,at least where I live. Cant find one in local wrecking yards either. A few years back I replaced mine with a (GM) aluminium one. It now leaks in the cooling (aluminum) part. Help!

'84 Blazer Diesel (<-shouldnt matter!) Lo-beams ok, toggle blinker/hi-low beams, NO lights! Both hi's out. I cant believe both burned out at once. Do the hi's have a seperate fuse? I'm thinking the switch. I'm too old to try looking at the fuse panel (75 years old yesterday, 23rd) How hard...

Years ago I lucked out, Bought an old Bacharach? tester at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Was a WWII 'Navy Stores' unit, needed the filter & the plastic cup (where fluid goes). What a score! As for the disks, well, there used to be a local 'Ecology' auto salvage yard nearby. This one had LOTS of...

I thought that at some point, they changed radiator design/shape/style. I know 82 83 84 85, maybe 86, are all the same. When did they change exterior body style? Did they change under-hood components also?

Thanks! Even truck junkyards around here are going by the wayside, , , ,

I replaced the radiator in my '84 diesel Blazer. The replacement radiator was an aluminum with plastic top & bottom. It has a leak about 6" below the top. It leaks out quickly to the leak, but stays there. Doesnt run hot at all. I stay on top of it at all times. The shop I got it from went outta...
