    Squibbly's M1009 and other Questionable Projects

    You'd never know it until you tried to pop it in and that bracket didn't line up...either starter will work...you'd just have to change the bracket is all...I think the 28 is the better one though. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Yes that's it! Good you have it...that's the bent style...should be a 27 starter then...the 28 uses the straight style...you know which the new starter is? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Squibbly's M1009 and other Questionable Projects

    The new one has the stud in it to use the front mount bracket brace...can't tell which one either is but if I remember right there's a 27 or 28 something part number related to them...one is a direct drive and one has some type of under gear drive I think...each one uses a different brace....as...

    That looks like a nice one! For a guy who doesn't claim to know how to fix cars you're doing great...one thing with the starter there should be a bracket bolted to the front of the starter to the engine to help brace it...there's 2 different ones depending on which starter you get...other thing...

    What the heck is it

    That's the 24 volt to 12 volt converter...if it's not hooked up then it's no big deal...it knocks 24 volt to 12 volt...I have one in the truck but the blazer one was removed long ago. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    If you're looking for parts find the TM section on this site for the M1009....there is a parts break down that gives you every part number for everything on it...google search out that part number and you should be able to find about anything NOS...or new not old!! I got a original gm balancer...

    Updated - MEP-803a Has arrived! (Formerly "On Its way")

    You found the right place to get the set running and set up to go...there is all the information and people to help you do just that in one place...I can't say enough about it...one thought that I did with mine to move it, unless you are lifting it up high on a platform, I bought some basic...

    M1008 transmission

    If the line looks ok put a vacuum gauge on the end where it plugs in to the modulator and see if vacuum is there...you can also check at the pump as well...both of mine have a t with one end capped at the pump...I replaced both as one was cracked up and leaking.

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    I should have known it was somewhere in the left light circuit!! The left signal on the dash was lit up...shows it was back feeding into the system...the dash lights turned out to be a haphazard install of the harness on the back of the cluster...a bunch of the printed circuit was crushed and...

    Absolutely harmonic balancer if you haven't already!! I did mine a month ago and found it was about to come apart...can't see it when it's on the truck...very worth changing...check the front pulley as well...might be rusted out...the other thing is belts too.

    I found the issues with most of the lights! I managed to get the one under the dash to work...gauge lights still aren't on but I'll take the cluster out tomorrow and check the bulbs...there were many things wrong but the final fix was the back feed I played heck to find...turns out the left...

    Ok...got a bunch done the last couple days...removed the old wiring for the lights that were on the plow...my lights worked kinda for a few times but never really came on good...dull...pointing to a ground issue...got to a point that they didn't work at all...anywhere...before the light harness...

    How to fabricate 55 Gallon drum to fuel supply tank.

    That looks like it will work great! I like the dual output with the fire valves on them...I use the same thing on my tanks and furnace...I think they are code now for that application.

    So the kiddo started cutting out the passenger side floor tonight...the structure is way better on this side but still has about 20 patches that were welded on top of the original floor...It'll be nice not to have to fabricate that stuff this time and just clean up and fit new floors...rockers...

    So got a new toy for bodywork...the spot welder that attaches pins for a puller...I can't believe how great this thing worked...got a 6 inch smash on the truck pulled to about a quarter inch...little more to do tomorrow but it won't take much. Tires should be here Friday! Sent from my SM-G955U...

    Mep-803a bogging down under load

    This makes me happy to watch! Glad you found it and that it is running great...these machines really got some serious output...I didn't know they'd hit 57 amps! I will look into that gauge...be nice to have one in the house so I don't have to go out to see what it's doing.

    How long do you store your diesel fuel

    In my world I think it really has to do with location...I'm in central Pa...weather doesn't swing crazy hot for long so condensation inside my tanks isn't much of an issue...plus I keep them full...all 3 are not in direct sunlight and have some form of cover from sunlight...I have them set up to...

    M1009 won't start

    if the engine is rotating, as in turning over, then you have a fuel issue...have you tried to bleed the fuel filter yet or check if fuel comes out when the engine does rotate? Have you checked how much fuel is in the tank and not by the gauge? It may have run out and got air in the system...
