For those that have done this, where/how did you get the keyed power for the positive wire? Also, what fittings do I need to connect/couple the fuel line where the old mechanical fuel pump is once I remove it and replace it with a blanking plate? Thanks. Not where mine is right now and I...
Well, to make it easier Motive Products says I need the 1105 if the reservoir is cast iron and the 1115 if the reservoir is plastic. Anyone know offhand what the reservoir is made of? Thanks.
Hi folks, so this weekend’s project involves replacing all my brake lines. Ordered a full set from Inline Tube. I have the Motive Power brake bleeder for my cars but need to get the appropriate adapter for the M1009. Problem is Motive Power sells two sizes for 80s GMs and I am 250 miles away...
I have an 86 M1009. Have been fixing and tweaking stuff over the years and it has typically been rock solid but lately I have developed a tough to diagnose charging problem. The vehicle has the Roscommon 12V conversion. The Gen2 light used to come on right after I started it and once you...
Oh, and I guess I should have specified that this is for an 1986 M1009, and the reason I am hoping someone can tell me the bolt size is the M1009 is kept out in the country so I need to order the parts in advance in order to be able to do this in one weekend. Tough to get parts where the truck is.
Planning on doing my passenger side ball joints. Need to replace a couple of the bolts on the knuckle that hold the spindle on while I have it pulled apart. Does anyone know what size of bolt to use as a replacement and are they threaded in or pressed in? Anything I need to know about...
Brake job on the back drums, new front passenger side wheel bearing and new shocks.
Next up: new exhaust (have the parts, just need to put it in), front passenger ball joints and glow plug resistor bypass w/new glow plugs.
Already done (in approximate reverse order) since i bought it...
Yeah - i think i am going that route. I thought maybe it needed to be primed and so i filled the hose, held it above the pump and ran it and sure enough it worked. Put the hose back on the pick up and it worked for a few tries then gave up the ghost. Guessing for some reason the new pump...
So my wipers wouldn't go back down into park, were working at only one speed and there was no fluid coming out of the nozzles....replaced the entire wiper motor/pump assembly and everything worked great. During the replacement I checked the hoses, pickup in the water bottle and nozzles for...
Hi,
After a few months of on and off again repair work, I finally got my M1009 roadworthy and inspected. Welded in new driver side floor pan and some patch panels in the back bed. Sandblasted and painted my rims and put 33x12.5x15 BF Goodrich M/Ts on. Put bed liner in the floor of the truck...
