I was tediously studying some wiring diagrams today in TM -34 and I came across a "SPOTLIGHT" and a "FLOOD LMP" on page 19 of Appendix E. Does anyone know what the spotlight and floodlight were for? I have an m1009 and it certainly has neither.

I did some searching and all I found was that the reason for the breather returning to the intake manifold was 1.) Emissions control. 2.) to create negative pressure in the crank case to more or less "suck" the blow-by fumes out and create negative pressure. I'd like to just run a tube down to...

Is it important to keep that little tube the goes from beside the oil-add cap to the manifold connected? Seems kinda of wasteful to pump exhaust through the intake again... But at the same rate, does this keep a certain amount of oil in the cylinders? I went to pull everything apart and there...

Don't quote me, but I think its a 15x8 with a 4 inch back spacing. I think. Also, make sure you get the right sized hub hole. These things are hub centric meaning that they were designed to support the weight on the hub and not studs. I believe there is a jeep pattern that is the same (6 lug...

Spiffy! I likes this. Also, congratulations on having properly mounted HMMWV tires! So often I see those with one side mounted backwards.

Will this count towards the flex comp.? I'm sure something in this poor little 09 was flexing... The pads were sitting on the axles. Its amazing how much easier it was for me to reach over the tailgate... I guess this also proves the bumper hitch, because its still there.

125 ft/lbs for civy stock blazer I believe... Probably means I should stop loading the firewood trailer before the pads hit the axles?

Awesome! Thank you! ...Now I just need to start saving$$$.

Wow, Thank you Moto! I thought gear vendors only did GM transmissions. That would actually get me a better ratio than I was looking for. I have a potentially dumb question though. Can the OD kit be used in a 4x4? I have seen on here where its been done in a CUCV behind a TH400, but is the dodge...

I see your point, and your anger. Just don't act on it. I am that newb that works in the shop. True, I don't work on stuff like transmissions, differentials, or TC's, but I do work with higher-end wheels and tires upon occasion... When I mess up, I know it, when I "get in trouble" over it, its...

Aw, come on. I hate to be the guy with feelings, but don't just go in there and ream that guy out. It might make you feel better, but its probably not going to improve him or his career. I'm sure you don't like being torn apart after making a simple mistake, even if you did something you...

Thank you for your wisdom. I kinda figured such a setup in a Blazer would be to much. :tank: I suppose my number 1 intent is to learn. I would like to to a complete tear down and performance rebuild; the performance being just for fun. I would also like to have the experience of putting an...

I'm tossing around the idea of rebuilding and building up a 6bt and placing in a CUCV. I don't have a ton of experience in engine tear down or transplanting, but thats why I want to do this project. I'm probably going to keep it simple and stick with an NV4500 or NV5600 and a fully mechanical...

Right. :D Now that it is obvious that this vehicle has been molested by a forklift, is there any other common damage I should look for? I assume it would be wise to avoid reusing the drive shaft in the swap?
