OK we are all done. Here is a photo of the broken bolt that holds the pin in next to a new one. My Chevy dealer had them in stock. The part # is 56196, it's called a screw and cost $4.30. The Matco kit is just what you see in the photo. The allen head bolt is drilled out so you can use it as a...

OK, I found out the problem and I was told it is very common. The locking screw I removed is only half the size it should be. The other half is still in the Dif. They have a habit of breaking where the threads end and the non threaded area stars. My friend loaned me the Matco Tool Kit for just...

Jim, the center pin is what I am trying to remove. The manual calls it the Pinion Shaft. I'm going to try what BiggsChevys said to do in the morning. Sucks because I was suppose to do a big parade Sunday. :-( Oh well.

Hello all, here is the run down for my M1009. For a while now I felt that my back brakes were not grabbing right. Now that I had some free time I pulled the drums and found the passenger side full of gear oil. So I know the outer seal is bad. Here are my questions. The passenger axle has in...

These are what our trails look like.:???:

I finally got the time to upload all the photos I took during a Trail ride my club holds a few times a year. This one was from November '09. We had a great turn out and quite a few big trucks came out this time. This is a real treat for us here on Long Island because we don't have any place to...

Hey Dave, you better get your 5 ton out front and clear the trails for me. I don't want to damage all my new bodywork.:razz:

As my truck is in the body shop to have the rocker panels replaced my heart sank as they cut the drivers one off. Alfa Heaven packed so much bondo on my truck that I wasted my time trying to repair the body. Now that me and the body guy went through the truck this morning Tom and his guys even...

Can you post some pictures of the worn parts?

Good story, Great pic's.

Do a search on this site and there is a detailed thread on how to switch over to a HD solenoid instead of that light duty relay. Also you are one of many that have put in a GR starter and now had relays burn out. Since doing the trick I have not had any problems.

First off, did you put the smaller gear reduction starter in it or the old type?

I stang by what I said before. I bet you just have a bad bulb.

Sounds like you have a turn signal bulb out.

As I said the other day I am finally getting old photo sets that I shot done and posted. This is the whole set from the NYC Vet's Parade in 2008. I know many SS members trucks are in them and that's why I placed the post in Member's Rides. New York City Veteran's Day Parade
