Sorry I jumped to the conclusion that you got it too tight. You very well could have it too loose. Put a regular 1/4" socket on there, hold the ratchet basically over the socket and see if using just your wrist you can snug the bolts up a little.

Correct, they are matched 12 volt isolated ground Delco 27si units. They can be mounted on either side if they are both up to stock specs.

I know this topic has been brought up in the past, but I can't find the thread or remember any of the answers. 6.2 that starts, idles and goes down the road great. Anytime the rpm is stabilized above about 1,000 and throttle is closed all the way, it takes the engine several seconds to start...

I think that is way too tight. Yep, just looked in the -20. 125-160 INCH pounds. You did FOOT pounds didn't you? Goint that tight normally breaks all the bolts off and if they don't break, the pan is bent. Time to pull it back off, use my hammer trick listed above and put it back on looser.

Good point.

Heck Mark, you don't have any duct tape holding a blue tarp on anywhere. Nowhere near hillbilly look yet. Drive safe and we will see you Saturday.

1984 K5 Blazer with the 6.2 engine is what you tell them you need parts for. Lots of new amazingly cheap brake parts out there for these things.

Colton and I took the M1009 camping with 4 other fellow members over the weekend. The truck did great with over 500 miles driven. We didn't want to mess with setting up a tent or dragging the 101 around. Instead, we just left the tail gate down and slept in the back with the rear seat folded...

Check the fuel line that runs under the radiator. If you are on the trails, maybe it got bashed, flattened, cracked, kinked or something. Otherwise, it is back to filters, filters, filters. Sounds like you have checked things over pretty good and didn't mention this.

I have seen the show enough times myself as well. Just wanted to point out the time everybody will be walking the other way from us.

The loud show at BMJP starts at 1430 according to the web site.

If it is an original '51, then it has the OA331 Gasser engine. Figure 5 mpg to drive it anywhere, 9 quart oil changes and such. They are a blast to own and drive. Just be prepared to pay to play with it.

It seems that if a person were to drive from point A to point B, figure out how many miles the distance seperating the two points are and then divides that by the number of gallons used. They would be able to figure out the miles per gallon. It doesn't take 20 years of ownership to do that...

The Rally is going to be the 2nd of 5 straight weekends I will be camping out. Since I will be using the M1009 alone the 1st weekend and the M1009 with the M101 the 3rd. I might not have time or the energy to swap everything over to the M35. M1009 with the M101 is probably what I am going to...

Every 3 inches is about 10 gallons of fuel in the tank. Figure at least 5 gallons just to get the pump in the fuel on flat ground. Add in a hill and the pump will be sucking air. Just consider between the pump distance from the bottom and the difficulty involved with filling all the way to...

Another good thing to do on thin metal pans such as the trans and engine oil pan. Is to set them on a wood surface, put the round end of a ball peen hammer on each bolt hole and then hit it with another hammer. This flattens out the hole and will let the bolts actually hold the pan up as high...

If you stick your head under the front of the truck and look forward at the front most cross member. You will be staring at the brake proportioning valve. It is actually something called a combination valve because it meters how much goes to the front and rear due to the disc/drum combination...

Drain the oil, let it sit over night with the drain plug out and then pull the pan. Much better on the eyes and hair.

If your complaint is the 3rd to 4th shift. Then you are like all the rest of us. The problem is that a gear is missing. The Gasser M35 trucks used the same transmission. What is 4th on the Multifuel is actually the 1:1 5th gear from the Gassers. When the multifuel came along with less rpm...

Somewhere in one of the many manuals I have for the M35 it says something about loading the truck up to max gross weight, driving it hard on fresh fuel for 100 miles and then see if the problem is still present. I would suggest that for you as well. I know my truck looses umph when I just run...
