Tech tip of the day check the reluctor wheel , the magnet in those 4.3 where prone to cracking and will cause intermittent missing. I don’t no how many of those I changed back in the day .

Seems nobody know about taking the bolt out that’s on the backside of the fuel pump pad on the block that seems to have no reason being there ( it’s a short bolt ) and thread in a fuel pump bolt that’s longer to hold the rod up. GM cast that provision in the block for that purpose.

We had a couple of these trucks on the district I worked on with the Forest Service in Camp Crook SD. I worked there from 1987-88. One was an 84 with the 250 inline and 4 speed manual, and the other was an 87 with the throttle body 4.3 and 4 speed manual. My crew got the 87 so we had a/c in ours. It was basically this same truck just in a calf scour green color. It also had the idiot lights instead of actual gauges. It wasn't a bad pickup, it had fairly decent power and the manual had granny low so it did pull itself around the hills fairly good being it was only 2 wheel drive. On the highway, it did manage to maintain highway speeds as well, and I believe it even had cruise so it was fairly well equipped for a government truck. I wouldn't mind finding one for myself to drive, though I'd opt for the long box over the short box, but that's just me. A guy can haul more in a long box. The alternator should run around 14.2 to 14.8 volts, so it's right where it should be.

You are so lucky to have one of them Steel Case Office Chairs! Real Heavy Duty made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I put a roof on one of their buildings when I was in construction. It's too bad they took a big dive in 2008. And after 2020 and Covid, they were just getting back in the flow and another dive. Them early chairs and desks will last you a life time if you don't abuse them too bad. Wish I had one. My younger years I never cared for much of anything Green because everything was Green. In my older years, I would take a green desk and chair! Green handled knives and tools are not that common, which is why I collect them now. But Metallic Red is my favorite Truck Color!

Cats like radiator coolant. My mother had a cat that died from drinking it. None of her dogs ever drank it. Your troubleshooting skills are great for me since mine are not so great. Thanks.
