    Does anyone know the PN for the hardline running off the lift pump to the fuel filter?

    Keeping a M1009 alive

    I have replaced the fuel sender unit hoping it was just a bad seal on the tank or rusted connection. No luck. However, the fuel gauge is now reading correct to what is in the tank. Next thing I checked is if it was a fuel line alongside the frame rail. I removed the rubber supply line from the...

    Sorry for the delay in progress, life happened - lost a family member and school is moving into finals. Whenever the truck dies out air will hit the fuel filter box before the injectors is this typical of trapped air in the lines? I have also noticed that the fuel tank no longer has a...

    Is there a good way to tell if a starter has been fried? The thing just absolutely drains the piss outta my batteries in order for it to run at high speeds . I have to constantly keep the charger on the truck. Also is there a proper order the lines are to be bled? She'll run for a solid 2 - 3...

    I got my batteries back and have no classes tomorrow, so I am shooting at having it running by noon hopefully.

    New line arrived curtesy of @nyoffroad, all hooked up. 3 cranks later and low on the batteries. Got out the old battery charger letting it sit for a couple of hours and came back to completely drained batteries. Going to take the 31s to someone who has a shop charger and hope I can get a quick...

    Complete refilling of the cooling water, tips, tricks and points to watch out for with the 6.2 Detroit Diesel - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    I always have tried squeezing the air out of the uppermost radiator/coolant hose once the engine gets up to temp with the cap off, helps to burp the system I have found. The best way to take care of chemicals according to 1980s GM is to dump them in the local river (I am not advising).

    Seems like this is turning into a build thread.

    That is a pretty nifty little kit there. Is the cable from the topper original to these trucks? If not just curious as to what you use it for.

    Found the problem, grounding wire of some sort was fried again. I tried fixing it when I changed out the blinker bulb. I will eventually upload a photo of the mess.

    Keeping a M1009 alive

    Did not have much time as I would have liked this weekend to dedicate towards the truck, but I was able to fix the IP leak with re-wrenching them down. Saw on the youtubes a helpful tip for the IP lines, notching the closed side with just enough room to slide the hardline through. this was...

    Finally got around to removing the intake and broken line. Was not prepared for how much of a sludge mess of oil dirt and rat sh*t would be in the valley, did a fair bit of scrubbing and vacuuming to remove all the grime. Did the same with the intake. Biggest lesson of the day was to take...
