    85 gmc suburban 6.2L electrical issues will not start

    the wire at the starter can cause a ton of problems. that's why mine ended up wire straight to the battery. no major sources of heat and alot easier to keep from chaffing. the firewall 'block' has 3 wires on it. one comes up from the starter and is 'doubled up' at the connector. the other...

    85 gmc suburban 6.2L electrical issues will not start

    well I stand corrected. there are 2 wires, both come off the block on the firewall. one runs the headlighst,taillights and ecm power. the other is the IGN side. at the firewall connector the bottom right corner(looking from the front) is the headlights.halfway up the right side is the IGN wire

    85 gmc suburban 6.2L electrical issues will not start

    oh boy, you are in for some fun.:rolleyes5: Hmmm, I'm kinda stumped for the night. I thought there was only 1 power feed in so it's strange that the headlights work. all the dash lights should come on with the headlights. on the main studs for the glowplug controller, is there just one wire in...

    85 gmc suburban 6.2L electrical issues will not start

    IIRC it did mount to the same post as the main batter cable. I just routed mine straight to the battery itself. make sure you keep the fusible link on it. as for the wiring diagram I haven't got one, but have dealt with alot of it. EDIT: you should have 3 wires at the starter, a battery...

    Battery light coming on

    just thinking out loud here if the isolator failed, the DS would charge but the PS would just drain on each start. what controlled the isolator? are you checking both batteries for voltage or just one side?

    Battery light coming on

    why is there an isolator in there in the first place? the dual battery setup is to give you the extra power for staring. did you check the voltage with the truck off? if so what was it? last question. how good of shape are the belt/tensioner?

    Help resurrecting dormant military 6.2 blazer

    you assume correct about the pump location. the 6.2 used a mechanical pump. either way works. the electrics are a lot easier to prime/bleed, but can get expensive. you could clear out a lot of the old fuel in the IP by disconnecting the return line on the top of the IP and supply power to the...

    Need 6.2 help with a strange NO/hard start condition

    first thing is follow AK's suggestion about the clear tubing. you'll need to do it to confirm that you've got the problem fixed anyway. you can have a leak anywhere from the tank hookup(even inside the tank,bad pick up) all the way to the front. does the CUCV version get the dual tank setup...

    What is the best tool invention of all time?

    :iagree: duct tape has save my butt more than once. I couldn't decide which was the best single tool. I can live with the powered hand tools but you gotta have the basic wrenches, screwdriver, ratchet/sockets and of course a BFH.
