    85 M1009 runs great, then wont restart

    Your tank sock is likely plugged with crap. I chased an intermittent dying issue with mine for a long time. It would come and go, mostly only an issue when I was offroading since it would stir the sediment in the tank up. Dead pedal, is a lack of fuel flow. As restriction increases it retards...

    Need a lesson on engine tempatures and cooling system.

    Have you checked the fan clutch? It should have resistance when spun by hand, engine off of course. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Pulling engine and transmission to insulate firewall?

    There is also a firewall padding available for these trucks on the interior. Google k5 blazer firewall pad. It's around 80 dollars. Just slit the holes in the padding to fit around misc wires and speedo cable. No need to remove everything under there. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Pulling engine and transmission to insulate firewall?

    The big fuse box has a small 10mm I think captured screw you unscrew from the inside. The fuse block then pulls away from the exterior. I would disconnect the lines at the hydro booster. The M923 series trucks use a reflective heat shielding material so the stuff is available. I dont know if...

    Pulling engine and transmission to insulate firewall?

    Yes, quite easily if you've taken off the whole front clip. I think it would be time well spent. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    York 210 on board air mount, pics

    The air line to tank runs through the firewall, under interior carpet to the very back of the spare tire where the tank is mounted. It's cool when I flip the compressor on I can hear the tank filling. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    York 210 on board air mount, pics

    Cool! I will post up the diagram of my bracket if I remember today. All I can tell you guys is it's been the MOST useful addition to any vehicle I've ever made. I am a groundskeeper and use it occasionally at work, offroad, when my sons mother was having tire issues, running an impact to repair...

    Cab roof insulation

    I've seen a guy spray expanding foam I'm his roof to fill the void. I'd worry about rust though. However many modern vehicles use foam in the pillars and between panels to dampen noise. For the fiberglass hard top I was going to line with a dynamat type material then fashion a headliner from...

    M1009 weather stripping sites

    Thanks Breacher. I spent an hour this morning going through the catalog pages on the link you provided. They carry the upper door foam seals (called "auxiliary" seals) themselves as well. I put an entire shopping cart together that contained every piece of rubber that's replaceable and the...

    M1009 weather stripping sites

    In this link you posted : http://www.truckandcarshop.com/trucks73_91/t73_061.html They list part # 81-357912 as Division Bar Channel Upper and Rear (in middle of ad) I can't figure out what exactly that is and where it goes on the door. The $69 kit you mentioned seems like it includes...

    York 210 on board air mount, pics

    It's been working GREAT! 28 seconds to fill the tires from 15 to 35 psi. I'm still waiting on the air filter and crank case vent but for now its operational. I put a 12v switched fuse panel on the fender. It is fed via a relay controlled by the injection pump 12v solenoid wire. It has 10 fused...

    Spectra 31 gallon tank install with part #'s

    A side note, the filler neck hose is 2 inch diameter hose. 25 bucks a foot.....mine was still soft so I reused it. The filler vent is 5/8 fuel hose. 1 foot was just 3 bucks at Napa and was just enough to do it. I'd probably get 2 next time. The anti squeak padding ontop of the old tank and...

    Spectra 31 gallon tank install with part #'s

    I did make one change from the factory setup. The fuel return normally just drips into the tank. That is, the fuel return is above the fuel level most of the time. I felt a better design would be using the rubber hose the new pickup came with to put the return below the fuel level (submerged)...

    Not a big deal. Dont really need the siphon pickup, just need the return which it has. You can see the new sender here with the return line circled. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Spectra 31 gallon tank install with part #'s

    However after studying the inventory photo, it appears it does have a return. What it does not have is a siphon pickup for draining the tank. You can see in the photo below the stock CUCV sender with 4 lines. The 3/8 line is the fuel pickup The 5/16 is the siphon pickup tube for drain The...

    Spectra 31 gallon tank install with part #'s

    Decided to toss my old stock tank, full of rust and algae particles or something. I ordered all parts from Rockauto (not a sponsor or anything). I thought 31 gallons would be a nice upgrade. Tank part number GM14B 31 gallon $87 31 gallon sending unit FG12J $58 Longer 31 gallon straps ST11...
