common 6.2 problems
I have been checking out some older K5 blazers with the 6.2 for my son. I have noticed several that have the owners claim just need the pump timed or something very simple. Are there any common problems to be aware of? Reading through the threads here seems that lack of fuel through a bad lift pump or air leak is common, as is a bad pump. If it is a bad pump, about howmuch would a rebuilt pump run, with R&R labor by me (hopefully).
thanks
thanks

If the owners didn't run them out of fuel, the injector pumps run a long time. Replacing the lift pump is cheap (about $30 for a mechanical and $35-$50 for an electric), but it's time that eats ya. Takes about 2 hours to swap one out. Now the injector pump, they run about $400 for a remand, and you might as well do the injectors at the same time. Looking at a half a day to do the injection pump and injectors. If you do the lift pump, get a blank kit and convert over to electric. Did it to my dad and he only went through two of em in the last 9 years.
