The gen 2 light flashes pretty consistently but disapears when she is up over 50mph. Gen 1 just has some minor glow here and there, much like what Michael said above. I will check the voltage on the alts soon. I was just more curious for long term damage if I just happened to ignore the problem...

Out of curiosity, what can happen if you DO NOTHING to fix the gen1 and gen2 lights. Both of them come on and I will one day fix them, but right now they just flash away. I am looking more for problems that can arise eventually. This is for an 84 m1009. Thanks for all the help, you guys are...

I wish it were that easy, but not a lot of Chevys down here in Costa Rica. They are installing it now, and they are putting it on the passenger side with it own belt, as suggested earlier. I will post pics once complete but things take a while down here....

here is my M1009 with a limo tint. It is dark as hell and looks good, but you can't see a thing out of it at night bc its so dark...just FYI

I thought the m1009 was a 3/4 ton technically, so would that imply a 56" length? Also, would you recommend the EZ ride or the Heavy Duty (HD) model springs? This is a daily driver with offroad use about 25% of the time bc of the roads here...thanks for the help!

Tuff country seems to be the way to go for springs. What size would I need to "replace" the stock ones I have? 2,4 or 6" and 52 or 56" springs (front and back). Not looking for a lift, just better ride? for a 84 m1009 with 33s...

thanks! I would like to replace the rear and front springs and bushings...are these parts standard for the civvy model or is there any special issues since its a CUCV? Can I get them from autozone or Napa?

what is the cost and ease of replacing the springs? thanks for the tips, I will keep an eye on all the sites for more suspension info.

its kinds of hard to tell since the old ones are still on the front. BUT, the rear does seem to only bounce once going over dirt roads, vs 800 times on the fronts. Cant wait to get the full set on, I will report back once complete. Also, what other fairly easy suspension upgrades can be made to...

probelm solved, guy at the shop gave me the wrong front shocks. in case you want to know, the part number for a bilstein front shock for an 84 m1009 is B460923H0. the front shocks should be the same size as the rears...FYI

just bought a set of bilsteins for an 84 m1009 and the rear shocks fit but the front ones were about 3inchs short?? Does anyone have the correct sizes for this vehicle or am I missing something/part? The guy at ORW said he double checked that they were the right size....thought I would try here...

man, have been reading all the posts about AC and not very convincing stuff. Being that I am in the jungle, AC is a must. My mech is adding a Toyota unit on the passenger side of the engine. Are there any issues I should make him aware of? Also, I have heard that GM and Toyota have a deal where...

Just bought my first '84 m1009 with the 6.2 and I'm feeling it! It came with 33's and needs some work on the interior and body. The engine and tranny seem to be fine and 4x4 is also good. Only has 42k and was purchased from DE national guard and then driven down. If anyone knows of a good...
