These trucks truly are the exact same as any other 12 volt blazer or Chevy K series truck... Just tony the local junk yard n pull one out of a decent truck that's what I have done when I wanted tilt steering or whatever. It's just an 80's style diesel truck with a rigerized 12/24 mucked up...
I have a doghead relay with the ROSCOMMON 24V to 12 V Conversion, everything has been fine but now in the last couple weeks when I go to turn the ignition on , it clicks like the starter solenoid is bad or the solenoid under the dash (Doghead Relay) is just clicking. If I continually click and...
Yeahhhh, I know all about the nose cones! Whatever man, just trying to stop a guy from going through all the time consuming crap of changing them Sta tees n having to change flex Plates. Them other 28MTS ARE ALWAYS GOID TO ME SND I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE NOT WORK
I don't know about who is making them now, but all I know is that they work... N have life time warrenty n changing a starter is less a pain than changing a flex plate, and especially changing the flex plate multiple times cuz them crapy 27MT's continually tore up the flex plates.
I even took...
I have even worked on these on the Rock Island Arsenal Military base with Guys from the "BEE HYVE" that is the mech. Shop where they rebuild military motors n injector pumps and also at the National guards mech. Shop I. Davenport Ia when they were still open. With military mechanics n they...
Whatever! I have worked on a ton of these trucks n they all do it!!! Yeah, the 27MT WORK GREAT, " when they work" but are way too picky about voltage drop n burning solenoids or sticking them HIW ever ya want to say it.... Don't want ya to get to picky on my wording 😂
I have to friends here...
Once it it's bad one time, the damage is done!!! PROMISE YA 😉 So, after ya replace the flywheel n use lock tight on the bolts cuz they will come loose, if ya don't. Then DON'T "EVER PUT THE STOCK 27MT ORIGINAL STATER BACK ON OR EVEN A NEW 27MT... I have and it's always a joke!
But, with a...
I have had 5 of these trucks M1009's n. M1028 that I have had all the common starter problems that have been discussed on this sight!!! I have NEVER HAD GOID LUCK WITH THEVORIGINAL STARTERS... N once ya hear that nasty grinding when the sarters don't mesh right with the flywheel, ya might as...
So, it just hooks up to the number 1 fuel line? I am looking for one as well, and this co. Is right by my sisters house in Chicago. It looks pretty simple, that us for sure...
Well, I just kept it under 65 around 60 to 63 still the most on the ride back the other day... I got a trans. Cooler to install and I wasn't going to put it on the radiator, like the others are on the Blazers! I didn't mind going slower, it seems ta a big help driving these trucks compared to my...
Thanks to all you guys for your help and advice... Doghead, I am just going by the fact that my speedometer is 20 off in the truck that I say I was doing 100 in it. When I am doing 15 mph it is 35 mph, and at 65 it actually is going over 20 mph faster. I was doing 80 ta 90 on that trip home that...
Ok, So tim292stro, your saying that I should of had a locking torque converter in the trans. when it was just rebuilt? That will help keep the heat down??? Is this why when I run my M1009's at highway speeds, before I installed the transmision coolers they would spit fluid out when driving over...
People say don't go over a certain speed with the M1009 Blazers too, but shoot, I drove one of mine home from West Virginia to Davenport Ia. with a messed up speedo. I foundout later that I was doing 100 when I thought I was doing 80 and even that didn't hurt the Blazer. And, that was a wicked...
