Thanks Mr Grinch... I just got back from Oreily's. The guy at the counter was a jerk. I put the starter on the counter and tell him exactly what is happening. I told him I just spoke with Wilson's Tech Support and the fellow there concurred that it sounds like the pinion gear/clutch was shot. He...

SOR< I like the possibilities. Where are your batts? :?

I found this today while surfing for remedies to my starter issue. It is a .pdf for the Delco 28MT Gear Reduction Starter. This is the one that many will end up "upgrading" to when they choose to replace, rather than rebuild the current 27MT Direct Drive that was originally installed in the...

I got a light and video camera on the starter after I charged both batteries and load tested them. The video shows the starter Pinion Gear moving out into the Flexplate and syncing fully with the teeth. The shaft seems to spin quite nicely; but the pinion gear does not spin. I moved (turned) the...

I just came in from pulling the flexplate cover off. A few of the teeth on the flexplate looked a little chewed up- probably from the starter gear not fully engaging the flexplate. I don't have a helper right now so I turned the flexplate so that good teeth are directly across from the starter...

jdeoliveira74, was this a direct swap out, or were modifications to the frame of seat needed. I'd be up for reclining as I sometimes find camping conditions poor when I get there.

If you are after replacements for the M1009- the S10 seats that look the same as the ones you have (or should have) now are plentiful at the wrecking yard. I picked up a very nice pair and switched the bases. Painted the metal black (flat) and the seats with SEM- the paint code is under one...

Stampy, when you figure this one out, please post the fix. I am having the same issue. It seems that when I let off the accelerator at anything over a moderate speed, I hear and feel a bump that feels like the rear axle or u-joint at the rear driveline. I don't know enough (yet) about rear...

My new (er) Wilson MT28 Gear Reduction starter has been working like a champ since I put it in in the fall. I went to start it in the evening and it only wound up but did not seem to engage the Flexplate. I have not pulled the Flexplate cover off yet; but I was wondering if any of you have...

CROM, if you are getting the click instead of the lovely whir of the starter, you might check the wire from the back of the fuse box (engine bay side) that goes to the Starter Solenoid. It is purple. Give it a tug on the passenger side of the intake where it leaves the loom to go downward to...

JHOLLER: SAVE YOUR MONEY... if you won't listen, send some money to me and I will send my two that I got from SMG and you can see for yourself what an incredible piece of junk these "heaters/defrosters" are. I plugged mine in and turned it on to the foggy windshield last winter. After about 15...

Use a square of the Heady Duty Velcro. But the fuzzy side about 1.25"sq and the other side smaller- about 3/4"sq. Clean the surfaces with alcohol. Apply the smaller square to the GP "box". This makes removing (separating) them an easy task and you wont end up pulling one off by the adhesive back.

I just received an email "Alert" from Harbor Freight Tools. Seems they have a new line of winches. I have been toying with the idea of installing one on my Blazer; but have not committed because they seem like an expensive proposition. I realize there are better winches- the WARN seems to get a...

Installed new Sylvania HB (BRITE) type headlights. The Adjusters looked to be OEM. 2 were broken, one was a 1/4" nut /bolt combo, The "last one" was a cap from a marker pen?!? Got a couple sets of the help replacements- I hear they suck; but I guess I'll see.

Just got confirmation that the Tread Wright Guard Dog Tires I ordered shipped today. Will send pics when I get them installed.

I did it around the first of the year. I added the resister as another member said it couldn't hurt. I have since changed to a non-resister unit- just because I installed a new relay to rule out a starting issue. Now I have 2 spare (known good). Seems a solid way to replace a lesser able...

wallew and makerstelemark: I have been looking over the recommendations here. I am not done yet; but I found this regarding the Cooper M+S: I realize that we all have our opinions; but "scientific" tests are hard to ignore... still looking. Thanks

srodocker, Hunting Murderer's Creek in N central Oregon.

I just got back from a hunting trip here in the Great Pacific Northwest. I never ran my Blazer up roads like these before. I did slip bad a few times; but managed ok. In a month I have an Elk hunting trip and the terrain will be muddy/snowy. I am up for new tires with aggressive enough tread...

I have a parking space in my yard that has a small incline to it. I have noticed that when I park the Blazer there- Nose "up" it won't start- just cranks as if there is no gas. I have released the parking brake and rolled it backward to a level spot and it turns right over. I am guessing that...
