    M1009 front frame side shackle bushings

    Is this the one for the rear of the front shackle? Off Road Design has a very stout bushing, surround and hanger kit. I went with that instead of the very flimsy stock parts.

    M1009 Major Starting Issues

    One of the really awesome things about the military vehicle hobby is the Technical Manuals published by the government to maintain them. Look at the top of the screen and you will see a tab called “TM.” Click on it and find the manuals for the CUCV. The -20 has a huge 74 or so page electrical...

    M1009 Major Starting Issues

    Being a 12 volt conversion we might not be able to help all that much. What ignition solenoid on the firewall? A stock truck has an ignition switch at the base of the steering column above the brake pedal. Turning the key pushes a rod which moves the ignition switch. The switch sends power to...

    Door Panel Installation Problems Galore!!

    Just take them off and use the arm rest screws with the bottom screws. They will hold the panel on. You probably won’t hear any vibrations from any missing push tabs.

    Door Panel Installation Problems Galore!!

    I have always gotten the interior door handle started. Align the lock threaded rod with the knob unscrewed. Then push it down into the window channel. Followed by the white push in pine cone looking things. The 2 screws on the arm rest and then the screws at the bottom of the panel.

    Technical inspection of the fuel gauge on the M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 Diesel. - solved

    If you run it dry. Add fuel. 5 liters might not be enough if you are an an incline. It will take about 2-3 minutes of cranking on the starter to get it primed again. I count to 20 while cranking, stop, let it rest for around a minute, repeat, repeat, etc…. 2 good batteries will be able to...

    M1008 crank/start issues

    Welcome to the fun! Please don’t use either anymore. It can ignite when near a hot glow plug. WHOOSH flame back into your face, broken glow plugs or even bent engine internals could also happen. You wrote the engine struggles to turn over. I read that as meaning the starter motor can barely...

    Snap-On PP408 is the tool the Banks turbo manual says to use. We are supposed to list current auctions on this site so you have to find it yourself. Just make sure it has the external bit.

    Technical inspection of the fuel gauge on the M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 Diesel. - solved

    The fuel gauge is basically an Ohm meter and the fuel gauge sending unit and float in the tank is a variable resistor. A full tank should give you 90 ohms. Empty is 0 Ohms. I have switched senders and I have switched GM gauges. No matter the combination the gauge tends to hang around past full...

    2023 TX MV Rally

    I tried something new when making a video of the drive to the museum. I put a wired microphone on the tail light brace of the M715 right next to the exhaust pipe exit. The same basic location sounds great on my Miata and Porsche. I guess 6.2 liters of Detroit Diesel with limited muffler is just...
