Got to thinking. Whenever my battery bleeds down to a yet to trace parasitic draw. And it only happens when my M1009 sits a week or so- shorter time when cold outside, I have to disconnect the front battery and charge it with the 10AMP quick charge. The ENGINE START mode makes my charger rattle...

So I've been complaining everywhere about the noise I've been having upon accelerating- throughout the gear range- I didn't identify it as prolonged winding out of the gears as I had previously got them pretty close to the shift points that I could live with; they were still a bit high. But a...

My needle still bobs about 3 mph at times. There is a part in the transmission housing that the cable plugs into that can be replaced. I’m not able to look it up now, but I purchased one to replace and hopefully end my cable wors- that’s before I discovered that my cable was chewed up through...

I'd have made a few snapshots, but I know if you are reading this forum you are probably pretty familiar with the fuse boxes on these vehicles and can grasp what I am saying in your mind's eye. After changing out my turn signal lever and harness, I found a few other things that were causing...

My paint shop instructor said to clean it and then give it several coats of 2k Urethane Primer. Sand so as not to go through the new primer and paint. That's what I did. Laid on heavy.

My replacement Directional Lever came today- the column was torn down already awaiting another part (locking ring cover). The new lever went in like a dream, but I noticed that the action was loose and would give me troubles getting the hi-beam on demand. I knew that there is a rod that travels...

I agree with nyoffroad. I went through the same area over the past summer. My windshield was cracked. The window guy that came out said there was rust and I'd have to fix it before he could replace the windshield. Ground part of the frame above the passenger side and rebuilt it with some 3M...

10 bolt Blazer. Thanks for the tip. I'm replacing the Directional Signal Lever right now- waiting on that locking ring plastic cover. I'll road test everything in a couple of days. As I recall the pitch changes with pedal like my old Kraco stereo interference back in the 70's. As far as the...

nyoffroad said: You didn't say if you had popped it into neutral while coasting, did the noise change? I did not try this. Any tips?

I've had this whirring sound (not sure how it is different from whining- I've never heard my wife whirr). It rises and falls with acceleration. I changed out the rear wheel bearings and the front bearings. The sound is still there- definitely needed new front bearings anyway. The power steering...

Thanks, I was still cruising around for answers and I found a late post to "Unknown front axle spindle nut" on this forum. Poster mentioned an article explaining this very question. The drawing, I believe, says it all:

Changed out the front bearings yesterday, and on reassembly I see that there were no parts as indicated by Item #9 and #10 in this drawing for 1985 M1009. Parts 11, 12, 13 [gap] 8, 7 6, 5 4... Should I hunt these down at a wrecking yard, or are these parts optional- there was some mention of a...

Installing the Speedometer cable in the M1009 is fairly straight forward. I just installed mine- the outer plastic sheath was shabby and had worn t the steel core causing erratic readings. Here are a few of my observations that may save a little head scratching for the next guy: The parts store...

Nope, not the P/S fluids. The whine was there before I changed bracket and P/S pump. I topped it off and worked the steering until clear fluid bled out of the low pressure hose. I'm headed out to see if it's: U-joint Rear wheel Bearings Pinion Gear Any other places to look for a whine...

Did anyone find out what the trouble was? I am having the same issue. I know this is an old thread- hate when there is no resolution, but I just replaced the P/S pump/res. To be truthful, the noise was present BEFORE the P/S bracket broke, but now that I'm up and running, I'd like to chase that...

From my original post, you can see that I am having trouble with the bolts that hold the driver-side alternation bracket to the cylinder head. The two bolts do double duty for the power steering bracket as well... yeah, that one.. Post #17 shows the two bolts. The one on the right is chewed up-...

So I pulled the other stud that holds the Alt bracket (in ORANGE) The #6 bolt is called for in the water pump as well.Top one looks homemade with the broken end possibly left in the cylinder head. The bottom one is chewed up- I don't know why since the bad end was firmly in the head! Measuring...

Could be the bolts numbered 19 on the drawing, but the description for them is cut off- could you please repost? Thanks.

THEM are the one. ;)
