    168 or 194 bulbs in the instrument cluster?

    I bought a bunch of the LED light on ebay. They came from, hold on to your hats, china... surprise. They are advertised as ultr bright, so I put red ones in for a cool night effect. They are not that cool- can't get 'em bright enough. I am gonna use the info above and score some bright white...

    My m1009 came with just the dash mounting plate. It looks empty there and I was wondering if there is any good reason to have a comm set installed> What all is needed and how do you use them typically?

    Bad choice Heater Core

    Was passing the Napa in my area and stopped in to get a heater core. I asked to look at it first ($27). The box say made in china. And the part looks like they made it from stolen Airstream trailers. The aluminum is weak looking and the soldered joints look as if they rodded out a used one and...

    half the price glow plugs.

    I have been reading the threads here on what is generally used for the 6.2. Many are quite happy with AC 60G. Others with the Wellman 070. Some say they experience swelling or early retirement with both. I am leaning toward the AC 60G, then I see BERU GV 004 thrown in and after a look online I...

    Chinese Headlight adjustment assembly

    I noticed the passenger side was jerried up with some stuff off of a Radio Flyer or something. The aim is off; but I don't want to mess with it until I have a good fix ready to go. Nick says crappy ones were installed sandwiched in between the seventies models and the [ mid 90's model]. There...

    How do you keep your rear window on your Blazer clear?

    Justin, I was missing the "crank" on the rear window crank when I bought my M1009. It just had the short linkage and the lock was a little beat up. I bought the Civvy chromed piece and the M1009 replacement key core with the military cut set on eBay. I didn't want the chrome standing out so I...

    How do you keep your rear window on your Blazer clear?

    I don't mean when loading stuff in it... I mean in this weather- my first winter, I am having all kinds of condensation and fog. I am in the middle of a search for a high quality heater core, so I don't know if having the heater and windshield degogger on will keep the rear windows clear? Will...

    GEN 2 light solved.

    I have noticed, since it has been getting colder especially, that the GEN 2 light lingers until I rev it a little. Then it stays off. Yesterday it went off; but kept coming back momentarily. All afternoon I watched and it would blink while not under load or deceleration. This morning I was...

    Heater core was taken offline?

    Could have been either scenario gentleman... but I ran it down the hill to school this morning and though it was blowing hot, I could not keep the window defogged. Looked down at the passenger floor and saw the leaking antifreeze. It was nice for a few minutes in all that heat. I'll order up a...

    LMC MIP floor mats for M1009

    I have been searching for a floor mat that is close to the original myself. Anyone have a part number (OEM)? I used this SEM kit I got from Car Quest that was a breeze to shoot into place in the entire box of my truck. I added the 383 green to it until it matched (more-or-less). I had many...

    New Camo Job

    Ditto :ditto: on what WARWAG just said. As an owner of two camo trucks, I think that the look is better than most of the free hand schemes you see. It looks like you had an actual "pattern" in mind. That is the difference. Most just go at it until the cans run dry and they are " finished". I...

Since I am fabbing up a swing out tire carrier, I need the original type clevis rings. The ones I have can't rotate freely. anyone have a set to sell (2)? Maybe you can point me in the...

    Tire chains- any recommendation

    I don't think I have a chain big enough (in my collection) to fit the 31x10.5/15 tires on my M1009. Anyone use chains enough to recommend which brand or type?

    Winter Tires

    What are you guys running in winter for snow and Ice... assuming you change at all? I have used the Hankook and the bridgestone Blizzaks; but not on a Blazer. The Silent Armour tires I have on have pretty decent tread still. Any reason to get a snow/ice tire for my first m1009 winter? What are...

    What tire pressure works for you?

    i WAS WONERING THIS MYSELF... ABOUT THE EXTRA WEIGHT WE SEEM TO CARRY IN THESE RIGS. i HAVE (OOOPS) a hefty tool box a full spare, a Hi-lift jack and a swing-out bumper mount carrier. When I go out. When I head for the hills, I add 4-5 MFCs of Diesel and another 5-10 gallons of water+ gear...
