Hello everyone. Just a question about a potential M1009 build. Being a blazer, those frames aren't super strong. But, here is the thing. Allegedly, the 6.2 was rated at 165hp and 330 ftlbs of torque, which probably none of us are getting especially these days. Fully dressed, a 6.2 diesel is...

I'll try to keep both batteries then... But something to think about was even with the 12V conversion, I think you still needed the two alternators... One for each battery? Any general advice on how to maintain one alternator for the two batteries?

Don't the 12v conversions you see require 2 alternators still though? Also, I don't know for sure, but I think having that extra battery in there is going to make stuffing a 6bt really tough

Hey everyone. Thought I'd make another post about this project. A buddy of mine is stuffing a 6bt in his M1009. New 14 bolts/d60's in and whatnot... But this got us thinking. We need to convert to 12V of course and I know there are write-ups on this. But let's get more technical. Is it possible...

Posting this on behalf of a friend of mine, got me stumped as well... When performing a Cummins swap on a CUCV, what did you all do with your hydroboost setup? Did it fit right in with the Dodge power steering pumps? I know that the 6bt was supposed to have the air pump right in front of the...

It's a shame they don't sell slip yoke eliminators for the 208... But it's going to be sitting until it's fixed. I'm not sure off the top of my head Chaski, it's bone stock there as far as I know.

Yeah I agree, I too have seen some horror stories out of a pro shop. If I could go back there are some things that I wish I did different about my lift, but overall it's been pretty decent for what it is. As for the tailshaft, hopefully that's it, I'll get to work on it in the coming days.

I do not know off the top of my head what the length was of the portion of the driveshaft that's inside the tcase, but I remember it was about an in longer than the stock one I had so they had to shorted things up enough where it fits without going in too deep, which makes it look like it's...

I had some time to get down and dirty under the truck, and I am here to report my findings. There was noticeable play by the tailshaft bushing. I lifted the double cardan joint and it wobbled both side to side and up and down (more so up and down it seems but its hard to say). All the ujoints...

By CV do you mean a double joint? If so, then yes I do, no slip yoke eliminator... kept the slip yoke and added a joint

in regards to the vibration, it happens rapidly enough where there are seemingly like 6 oscillations per tire rotation so it probably isnt the tires. I have spicers in mine as well, and I know none of them really exceed more than 15 degrees. as for the pinion angle, it does point to the tcase...

I personally am leaning towards cooking a ujoint as well, but do they really fail this early? Granted, I did a poor job of staying on top of the grease orders, but even still... plus also, it only has about 3 degrees on that joint so I would be surprised if that was the case, but I still suspect...

I accumulated 8000 miles over 7 months, as for the driveshaft, I think that would be good advice and Ill look into it, but all the weights from the original balancing are still there, not sure why it would change? I was thinking my process of diagnoses will be spinning the driveshaft by hand and...

welp, the driveshaft angle I do not have on hand, I will have to check that in the morning. I will definitely check those ubolts, although I would think that they should be good since I did actually check those about 1000 miles ago when I had nothing to do haha. As for the type of lift, it is a...

So I have this unusual situation. I was recently hit with some driveline vibration on my M1009, but it happened in a way that u haven't quite heard happen in the way mine did. At low speed (1-5ish mph) my truck as a noticable driveline vibration that shakes the cab enough for it to be heard and...

I was using a basic diagram I found off Google. I get about one wipe every 6 seconds when dry, maybe once every 2 seconds when wet. And that's ONE WAY. So double that for the wipers to actually return. When I removed the wipers the linkages felt decent to me (moved it side to side by hand) but...

Mine do not have wiper delay. It's just on and off (high and low). After working on the truck some more here are my latest findings. I made a ground on the purple wire (low speed ground) on the wiper motor and suddenly it brought back some gusto. It had better strength (still slow has heck, but...

I have a fuel filter from a 6.5. I was told that these fuel filters can work with the 6.2, however there are some wiring concerns I have. My M1009 is from 1985, and it has the stock fuel filter assembly. I want to make sure I get the wiring correct on this. On the 6.5 filter I have, there is a...

I have an ACDelco wiper motor myself. I have rainx wipers (the kind that had the standard 6 points on the blade, not the single curved piece). They wiper so we'll that there's no Trace of water left, which results in the friction being very high, sometimes even on the first wipe. Obviously when...

Hey all, I wanted to discuss a wiper problem I have been having, but hear me out. My wipers are slow as heck, sometimes they do not even move. But let me tell you what I did thus far.... -Replaced with new wiper motor (4 times) -Cleaned all grounds -Made my own ground -Checked fuse box -Cleaned...
