    M1009 Seat bolt sizes

    Are two of the holes that fasten the front seat pedastals to the floor smaller than the others or is that an optical illusion?

    M1009 Seat bolt sizes

    I don't have seats at all because they were stolen I bought a corbeau drivers seat and their double locking brackets thinking they would bolt right in. Nope. So I got a pair of non power seat brackets with no fasteners. Would you mind telling me the bolt sizes? Looks like one side is smaller...

    That would be a last option but thanks for the suggestion. I'm a full-time student at the moment so not much free time. I just want the rig to be my second means of basic transportation besides my moto asap.

    Doghead relay question for 12v

    As in two alternators? I did the mod anyway today and I'm running two batteries. The noise i was hearing was a starter bolts not even fastened all the way by the prior DA owner. I got to get under my truck a bit today and boy does it look nice under there.

    Doghead relay question for 12v

    My M1009 was converted (not sure if done properly) to 12v. By that I mean it only is running one alternator yet there are two batteries daisy chained to one another. The previous owner installed a push button start switch to bypass the ignition cylinder. My 09 previously started...

    M1009 in Martinez California

    how many puck torque converters is our rig supposed to use? reason I ask is there was a new one in the cab of my rig that the previous owner was too lazy to install when he "rebuilt" the trans.

    M1009 in Martinez California

    I need trans help, or a place to go. $1400 for a rebuild and a Torque converter is Bull**** considering what I paid for the truck.

    May buy a 86 M1009 tomorrow and need help

    That's what a $950 truck is gonna be: a project-unless its a chevy C10- then it's just an ugly runner. It's a decent starting point and it'll give me a chance to learn since nothing is too terrible. :grd:

    M1009 in Martinez California

    CukkVEEE hahaha yeah that's me. I need to figure out the least expensive way to rebuild my th400. I have the R&R part covered since my best friend owns that a shop but he doesn't rebuild automatics. An olive drab CoCo sounds good to me....get some! at least we'll be able to smile and go hey...
