    I never opened mine in the 10 or so years I've owned it

    My 1984 K5 Plow Teeruk 6.2 Rear Diffy Is Bad...

    As I recall, it's the same deal with the splines in the front axle. I prepared a used front axle after I broke mine, and then they look identical, but there's a slight difference of two splines. What a pain In 1988, GM introduced the ifs truck, and they did some tweaking with the square body...

    Can someone provide me with a link to hyperloop? One that I found on Amazon was for engine oil

    I guess I'll have to pull the axles tomorrow, and start the cleaning process. I just got a call from my tenants, it's 15 degrees outside, and the outside heating oil tank filter froze, again, so no hot water. All fixed

    I haven't taken anything apart yet, but do I have 28 or 30 spline axles? Could it be one or the other? Or does RockAuto just have too much listed?

    I'm afraid my differential is too full of metal. As much as I'd like to install the Spartan, I'm just going to put in new spider and crown gears after I flush the guts as best I can

    What does this MEAN?!?! >>>Spartan Locker The Spartan Locker, by USA Standard Gear, provides reliable traction at a low cost. The Spartan locker’s design does not use the thrust washers and has a revolutionary spring and pin design that makes installation a snap! Spartan mechanical locker...

    I just realized, I'll have to pull the center section out, which will mean reshimming the sideplay, and setting the ring gear to pinion depth. So that's definitely not happening anytime in the near future, I'd need somebody to help me set up the differential.

    Thank you HotRodPC... I'm going to click on the link, and I may go in this direction. Even though I have a 1000 lb of salt in the back of the Blazer, I really have a major traction problem, the tires are also over 10 years old and getting hard, and they were never that great even in the...

    My right seal was leaking when I bought the truck over 10 years ago, I never took the differential apart to replace it, as I was always worried about breaking that little 5/16 bolt. The leak soaked the brake shoes, and I actually should have checked the differential oil, but I forgot about it...

    SirRobyn, more info on hyperlube pls. And I buy Brake Kleen by the case! A friend suggested I replace my spider gears with this spool. I've long read about them, but have zero knowledge of what they do.

    My '84 Suburban Drips Water Onto Front Floor When It Rains

    Thank you, a friend of mine 300 miles away painted the truck, it turned out really good, but seven years later it's ready for a bunch of paint work. I haven't driven it pretty much since that picture was taken, it's been stored indoors while I tinker it with a couple of other newer Suburbans

    If I had my previous semi-retired life back, I go with the Dana 60, the 14 bolt full floater out back, my brand new heavy duty rebuilt 700R4 with my full-time transfer case, and a full-time transfer case has a center differential. So you can leave it in 4-wheel drive all the time, just like ALL...

    Prairie, I don't think it's that bad, obviously the crown and spider gears are toast, ones is even lying shattered on the bottom. While the ring and pinion look all right, the bearings obviously have been massaged with plenty of metal chunks. But I'm going to buy the spider and crown gear set...

    I have a few 6.2, and for some reason even though this Blazer was badly neglected and beat up when I bought it over 10 years ago, it's always been a hot rod, and always starts the easiest when very cold, below 0f. I also have a 6.2 84 Suburban, almost exact same color, with double the mileage...

    Be careful what you read on the internet, I'm a big liar. It's now 8:17, and I've been toodling around my huge wreck of a building that I bought two years ago, sweeping up the demolition from one of the guys, that was all littering the staircase to the basement. Just doing little odd jobs before...

    I plowed for 5 years with a totally junk 1/2 ton short wheelbase that I bought for $125. But it did have low miles. And I know how to treat a vehicle Not To Break Stuff, well most of the time anyways. And this 700 that I had rebuilt had supposedly all the best parts. But don't we always hear...

    Can this be welded, or

    I would love to do my above-mentioned project, but I know from reality that nothing is ever so simple. I do have the two arm shifter which is different than the part-time transfer case, and nothing is ever simple. Everything is always a matter of getting the parts, distractions with all my...

    Spiders you say??? Hmmmm... I guess I know what I'll be doing in a couple of hours... I haven't worked on a differential in years and years and years. Can I change the spider gears without upsetting the backlash?

    Prairie... I had a plan many years ago to put in a rebuilt 700 transmission that I had modified to fit a full-time 203 transfer case. It's sitting just ahead of the truck in my shop, all rebuilt and ready to go). and I somewhere have a Dana 60 for the front, and a 14 bolt full floater for the...
