After all of that I found it was simply a bent contact on the starter relay. I now have a much better understanding of the electrical system. I went through most of the internal connections and cleaned them including the instrument cluster and the starter relay. Just didn't connect the plug...

Thanks to everyone who has chimmed in! It's much appreciated. I couldn't work on it today, but hope to get back to it soon. It is blocking the garage stall that my Wife regularly uses which means someone's truck is going to be sitting outside until I get this electrical issue figured out...

I finally broke down and ran into town for two new batteries. Still the same issue. I got all of the dash lights to work, but at the detriment of losing the starter! Turning the key to "on" will seemingly warm the plugs. The "wait" dash light illuminates and I can hear the Glow plug relay...

Oh, and last night the alternators were not charging one of the batteries. So, I put the front battery on a trickle charger last night without disconnecting the battery.

Here's pictures. What solenoid is this? And what is located behind the heat shield in the other picture? Anyone have a Shop Manual that they'd like to sell?

Hi Guys, Well, got the tires on, the rear window to work and a plow mounted to the front. I was preparing to wire the plow and now the truck will not turn over. I'm starting to think this thing doesn't want to go back to work. lol So, I have lights etc..but when I turn the key to start the...

That's good to know! Especially because I will be plowing mountainous dirt roads which with a plow will most likely simulate very rough terrain at times. Especially with chains on.

I don't have them yet, but for me it's to gain a bit of clearance from the heavy snows that we get. Every increment helps when you live atop a divide at 8000ft. 1-3 foot snow storms are the norm for us. I'm sure this will lead to a small suspension lift down the road, too.

You're too kind! Thanks for doing that! The pics and measurements help a lot. I think what I am going to do is wait until I have installed the plow and go from there. I was hoping to get a set of tires and a windshield when I go into town this Thursday (prior to adding the plow), but with...

Do you think that the tires would rub with chains installed in the stock configuration? I'm looking at a square link ladder configured chain for each wheel.

That's great! Thanks for the pictures. I'm convinced that 33s are the way to go. I'll get back to the post.

I really appreciate it, but don't go out of your way. Thanks to you and everyone that has replied. This is my first M1009 and want to set it up correctly the first time especially since snow is already at our doorstep here in Colorado. I just today contributed to the PA economy though by...

Any chance that you could share a picture of truck with the 33s on it?

Do you know of any issues going to a 33 with the stock suspension?

Hi Guys, I'm looking to add new tires to my 1984 M1009. It has the standard/original 15" rims. I'd like to fit 33 x 10.5 x 15 Anyone have experience with this size and will I have any rubbing or other issues? This Blazer is going to be used to plow snow on mountainous terrain. Thanks in...

Hi guys, I'm a new guy to this forum. Just purchased a 1984 M1009 6.2L Blazer with 66k miles. I'm sure that this question has been asked and answered and I did search, but couldn't find the answer to my question. 1. What's the correct viscosities for the 6.2L n/a diesel engine? I'm looking...
