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...
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...
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.
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...
This is what happened to me with my M1009 fuel gauge. I hope it will help someone else. Mine stuck at about 1/4 tank so I took it to my mechanic, Im not one when it gets past oil changes. Anyway He changed the sending unit in the tank and the gauge worked but it was moving all over the place...
I dont have a pic of my M1009 yet. Will get my daughter to get one on here for me asap. Im not the best at this high tech stuff, but mine is really good Im lucky to have found it. No rust, great inside and out. The camo paint is a little faded. The dash is showing sun damage. It has 25,xxx...
Hey Bairrfhion82,
Im a newbe on here so my 2 cents worth may not mean much. But Im in the same boat, I have 2 CJ's and a M1009 and 2 pickups. Im still in the process of getting my M1009 on the road, its really a good one and I plan on making it an almost daily driver. I may sell 1 of the CJ's...
12 - 15
Thanks Cletus09,
I hope they clear ok, they are the old 12-15 so I dont think they are that tall just a little wider than the stock 31/10.50s. I hav'nt gotten them home yet, they are in my nieghbors barn loft and we didnt get them down yet. He also had a set of factory wheels Im going...
