    Lost High-Beams

    '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...

    Locating a Radiator for My 6.2 Blazer

    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...

    Fuel Gauge Dead?

    Couldnt find an 'electrics' area, so here goes. '84 Blazer diesel, but that shouldnt matter. The fuel gauge stopped working. When key is on, gauge goes to 'full', turn off & it creeps towards empty. < Does it need power (un-blown fuse) to do this? How does one troubleshoot this? How does one...

    I replaced the batts in my Blazer, dont remember when, cant find reciept. Bought 'Enterprise' batts at Costco. Didnt punch out date/year 'chads'.

    Hydroboost Variations

    I have for parts an '82 PU & an '83 Suburban, both 6.2 diesels. My driver is an '84 Blazer, 6.2 also. Question: Are the hydroboost units interchangeable among these three vehicles?? Q 2: Do they go bad from "sitting on the south 40" for 15-20 years? -corne-

    Help Finding 'Stock' Rims For My '84 Blazer

    I need a pair of stock steel 6 bolt rims for my '84 Blazer, so far, no one, on-line/phone book(!) has any. In my recent thread about getting the Blazer front end aligned, these clowns ruined the 2 front rims, as in way way way over torqueing the lug nuts. Rims & lugs just galled like you...

    84 Blazer FWD Front End Alignment

    How big a deal is aligning the front end of a (solid axle) '84 Blazer?? I think there are 'eccentric cones' involved in the axle frame/body. Is this difficult, hard to do? Should most alignment shops be able to do this? How much cost before its more than vehicle is worth? I love the Blazer...

    '84 Blazer Alignment Question

    My '84 Blazer (4wd diesel) alignment is screwed up! Driver side tire is wearing out on the outside badly. No four wheeling in 8 years, some dirt roads but not bad ones, 99% pavement driving. Prolly 2,000 miles per year. (I'm retired) Passenger side tire is fine. Had it for 17+ years and used to...

    Some old Engines Sitting Around

    I posted before about my Blazer 6.2 with blown head gaskets. No one around here wants to mess with "pre 1995" diesels. I am 71 years old do not want to major repair/swap motors anymore. I have an '84 6.2 that was good when removed from (84 suburban) the car. Its been sitting on the back porch...

    My 6.2 Guzzles Water!!

    Lately, as in the last month, my '84 Blazer with 6.2 diesel has started really going through water. So much, right now I'm not adding antifreeze, just water. It does not have any external leakage, exhaust pipes are dry, (no water at all there) After letting it run till thermostat opens, no...

    Tire Wear on My Blazer

    '84 diesel Blazer. The left front tire on my Blazer has started wearing rubber (a lot) off the outside edge, 'like too much toe-in?', but only on left tire. Has not been off-road for 6-7-8 years, no curb banging or similar abuse. Not even sustained 2wd off road use. With the solid axle front...

    C vs. K?

    I am curious, I thought 'C' always designated trucks & 'K' designated Blazers. My '82 pu has C-10 'badge'' on it & my (2 of 'em) Blazer has K-10 on it. Why do so many refer to 'trucks' as K10, K20, etc? Just wondering, , , , -c- (my 'Helm' book refers to the Blazers as K models & trucks as C)
