Isolated ground alternator
Hello--the alternator on the driver's side of my "86 M1009 is making a grinding noise while the engine is idling. The noise goes away when I put the blazer into Drive. I am anticipating replacing this alternator in the very near future. Any hints on the replacement...
Hello--I have a question about my CUCV Blazer--are both altenators in the vehicle 12 volt or is one a 24 volt and the other a 12 volt? Thanks in advance

Hello--I have an '86 CUCV Blazer. Today, it developed a small pin-hole leak in one of the oil cooler lines. Of course, the leak proceeded to spray oil all over the engine bay. Does someone have a P/N or source for the line? I might as well replace both of them. The other option would be to...
I was looking through an LMC Truck catalogue and came across a picture of a duct with a mesh covering the end of it. It was not very much, so I ordered it, but much to my chagrin, it did not fit. The end that is supposed to mate up to the side of the air cleaner was too big to fit, and would...
Hello--I have an '86 Blazer CUCV. I see that there is an opening on the side of the air cleaner that appears to be configured for some type of air duct. After looking at several other CUCV's on Ebay, it appears that no such air duct is present. Is there supposed to be one there? Thanks in...

Hello--both of the inner fender wells on my 86 Blazer CUCV have a lot of rust on them, and I have decided I need to get some new ones. LMC makes them for the Blazer, but I was wondering if anyone else has swapped them out and can pass on some hints on installing the new ones, so I don't have to...
The small plastic gear in the speedo drive gave out and I have been unable to find a replacement. it looks like it is a 41 tooth gear that fits into the back of the transfer case. Any help? Thanks in advance

Hello--I have an '86 CUCV Blazer. Recently, I was having some trouble with the speedometer. It would bounce around and finally settle on 0. I have purchased a new speedo from LMC Trucks along with a new speedo cable. A local shop installed these for me, but these new items did not fix the...
