Here's my radio set:
Fabbed a bracket for the CB to sit under the speaker. I replumbed the one on the left to use the original cable. It goes to the scanner between the driver seat and console. The aux speaker goes to the CB- it has a built in AAMP. The mike was from a MIL set, it was replumbed...
I as many here will remember, struggled with starter issues for the first two or so years of ownership with my M1009. I replaced the one I found which was a Direct Drive- stamped 12volt. After it tested ok, I was told it was a shim/flexplate issue. I eyeballed clearance and didn't shim. I bought...
Here is a link to another post that addresses some of the things to do when you have the tailgate window apart. The one thing that is easy to miss after lubing and degreasing is the state of the regulator teeth. I found that it is this and not the clutch that goes when the window does not come...
PBALLER71, Also check all fuel lines for cracks. Probably should look around the filter for any signs of leaking fuel. I've had issues like this where the crack stays closed when cold, but as the rubber heats up and it is more pliable, it starts bouncing around and sucks air into the line as it...
aT LEAST THAT IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. Sorry caps lock:oops:. When one sits in the fron passenger seat and attempts to slide it forward, it goes but feels as if it locks only on one (inboard) side. The right side of the seat seems not to be locked in place.
Anyone ever have this? What is the cause?
Ever since I bought my '09 six years ago, I have been aware that the wire loom that runs inside of the chassis frnt-rear has been hanging, I looked at it way back but it looked like rivets had broke off. I ended up looking at it yesterday with better light. Two of the three of the flanged clamps...
Ask yourself what you'd get with $5,000 instead, and then ask if it has low miles, ask if it looks waaay cool.
If it's not rusted or full of Bondo, or leaking like a sieve, I'd get it.
The seals are a little bit of a pain. The rear crank is easy if you just take a couple of hours to catalog...
I noticed a continuous cricket-like chirping sound coming from under the M1009 Blazer two days ago. I have not yet isolated it s it doesn't seem to present at idle in the driveway. Whenever I accelerate though I can hear it. It does not grow louder, and I don't remember it gaining intensity with...
I went with DOrman. Found the same problem as everyone else. The easiest solution was to install with out the block clamp and then holding the clamp to the top hose you'll see that the angle of the bottom one will not allow proper use of the clamp because the angle on the clamp is wrong...
I've been wondering since I heard about EMPs could they disable the ignition on our CUCVs?
The rest of my cars have early point/cap/rotor ignitions... would they be safe?
Lastly, Would the alternator diode trio be ruined?
I replaced my 6TLs with the group 31. The first thing I had to do was build new cables for them. Bought the 31 type connecting lugs. Heavy duty welding cable and military red/black shrink tube to dress the connections. They looked sweet, BUT when using a standard nut to tighten down the cables...
+1 on the nuts diagnosis. If there is a leak in the windshield gasket, it will most likely be rotting the window frame (rust). Rain will get in and present itself as it drips from inside the front pillar. Get in there with a headlamp and look for water residue. The real giveaway is if there is a...
Agree with the masses. My Blazer shifted late and hard. I replaced all vacuum lines, the trnx modulator and cleaned up the IP crystal ball. It makes all the difference for a small amount of work.
I wonder if I drilled a small hole in the block off plate and plumbed it with a small petcock. That way the warming/expanding fluids put pressure on the air pocket and I can open the valve until fluid runs out. HMMMmmm.
My my M1009 came up with a busted P/s pump bracket. I lost some antifreeze during the R&R. Now I fear there is a bubble sitting under the sender. It's an aftermarket gauge sender placed in the passenger side head bung, you know the one one with the block-off plate that can be used for a real...
I apologize in advance for not having snapped a bunch of pics here.
Saturday morning My p/s pressure hose was leaking at the pump. Lucky for me I was near my brother's house. He brought fluid while I dove under to tighten the seal. At his house I noticed it was still leaking.
Pulled the pump...
