Saturn Surplus! I think they have the best prices on what they have. I had a flexplate issue too. I replaced it and the tranny is now shifting harder. Got any ideas why this would be guys? I'm still looking for a starter bracket too.
I tried making a couple my self but they cracked in the same spot. I think when you heat up the steal to make the bend it weakens it. I think I would rather get a factory made one. thank you
There is no bracket!!! Man I am glad you mentioned that!!! I bet that is atleast part of the reason the flexplate failed, and the starter teeth are chewed up. Its probebly flexing and moving as I start it!
I was thinking of Gun Metal Grey? Its a duplicolor I think??? I have the truck primer grey right now and I think I like the color on it. The gun metal is a really black silver? I know its not an army color, but I think it will still look tough. Plus its a do it your self color. I think I...

Here's a couple pics. The rest are on my profile. These I would consider my befores, and I will have a ton of in the process, and if I'm lucky I'll have some finished in the future.
Thank You! I will download all the manuals. I bought this thing looking for a cheap diesel, and when I cracked it open I knew I made a good purchace (paid a little too much), but I'm a sucker for finding and troubleshooting a problem and electrical is my background. I think I'll have my hands...
Hey people,
I just picked up a pretty good m1009 diesel blazer and I want to make it a daily driver. What do I NEED to do to it mechanically, What SHOULD I do, What would be NICE to do? Trying to get some ideas other than what I have been concentrating on. I put FatMat down, the body is...
