Thats awsome SpecWarSquid , getting her started on a great hobby!!![thumbzup]

I drive mine at 65 mph alot. 70 some but not at long periods of time. I dont go over 70. Its my daily driver, it is all stock just as in the pic. So far knock on wood I have had great luck with it.

Im no Expert!! Remember that when I tell you this. The manual says when it goes to a fourth tank or below its the gauge or power to the gauge. You may have knocked something loose to the gauge, that would be the first thing I would check. I just fixed mine last month, it was staying at a fourth...

This week my drivers side headlight on my M1009 was just hanging. So I took it apart and had to replace the plastic nut that holds the top adjuster and replaced the lamp. The lamp was in 2 pieces but still working!! I ask about this on another thread and without going back to it I dont remember...

Thats the same brand I put on

Oh, I know what I did with my knife was I held the little plates that came with the hitch that went in the frame to make the hole square for the carraige bolts then held the bolt heads with my knife to start the nuts. I remember you had to line all the stars planets and stand on your head and...

That looks just like mine looks. The way I got the bolts in the rear frame holes or I guess they would be the foreward holes was I tied dental floss to the very end of the threads of the carraige bolts and threaded the floss through first then fished the bolts through. I would have to look at...

I have a 1986 M1009 and I put one on. It bolted on perfect. All I had to do was bend the pintle hitch chain hooks up flush and remove the pintle sway, or reanforcment bar which was a small piece of tube. The hitch took its place. I ordered a hitch for a 1986 blazer and told them nothing about...

Im with you WARWAG!!!!:-)

I dont have nieghbors but I love the looks I get when I drive it. Its my daily driver. My friends are getting used to it. At first when I would pull up in it they thought the Guard was checking on them, They just had a tornado hit there home when I just got it.

This past few weeks on my M1009 I have changed the old fuel filter to the spin on kind and that solved my hard to start issues. I also changed the fuel gauge and the sending unit in the tank and the gauge works now!!!!:jumpin: I also put seat covers on the front seats that made them more comfy...

Cycle Jay, Im a retired Deputy Sheriff and a combat firearms instructor and I always tell my class that the only stupid question is the one you dont ask! Go easy on him guys at least he ask before he did something unsafe.

My needles dont match either with the new fuel gauge. The speed needle is faded. But Im just glad they both work now!!!:jumpin:

I think I put 1986 Diesel K5 Chevy Blazer. sorry bout that. I think when I just put 1986 Blazer it brought up way to much stuff.

I would have to look it up again. I will try to do that tonight. It was out of Ca.. I remember that. I think it was the first site warthog put up. I just typed in diesel fuel gauge for 1986 Blazer on ebay and found one. I didnt bid I called them because when you scroll down on their auction they...
