AHHH! Thanks for the reply. I looked at the diagram in the manual but didn't see it!! Yup, the stupid thing is popped. On my way to the store now to get some fuses. Been telling myself I should have some on hand, now I'll pay for it. Thanks alot for the solution!!!

I was checking the lights in my instrument cluster so I had the panel etc off. I had the bezel off to the right when the voltmeter touched the speaker bracket. There was a spark and I got it away from it right away. Now though the voltmeter doesn't work and I have no Gen2 light when I turn...

When I got it all at once it wouldn't start. The gauge said over full. Put a couple of gallons of fuel in it and it finally fired. I thought I had a gauge issue. Finally got it licensed and went to the station. Only got 4 gallons in it. I found the bottom of the filter was wet with fuel...

Here's some pics of my M1009. So far we've replaced the fuel filter with a screw on one from NAPA. Thanks for the posts, I got the numbers from there. I've replaced the windshield washer with one from my sons Blazer, don't tell him. I just crimped on a couple of spade connectors and stuck...

Thanks Barrman. I knew I had read something about the fuel gauge somewhere in there but at the time was trying to find the answer to another question. Which I did figure out. So I went back in the manual tonight and started digging again. I finally did find it. I had just plain missed it...

I'll try the tranny adjustment this weekend. Originally that's what we thought it needed but then finding the issues in the rear end I went to worse case scenario. Will also look into the sending unit wire. Thanks for the link! That will be great if that's the issue with that. I won't be...

Got the unit home and it's in really good shape. Lots of new parts etc and the body has no rust! The left turn signal indicator would come on when you turned on the lights. Ended up being a bad drivers side front turn signal socket shorting out, replaced. The rear end was in a diaper and we...

I just picked up my first M1009 the other day. It started right up and we drove it on the trailer. So getting ready to go thru it and am planning on using the Rotella T5 10-30. From what I see on the bottle it meets all the needed specs and compares to SAE15-40. It gets really cold here in...

The one's in the containers!!?? I watched some 3 units sold 3 hrs from here reasonable. The description said for salvage, so I wasn't sure if they'd run. aua A couple looked really good!! So, proving I'm new even more. Rule of thumb, if the motor is in a container it should run? Aren't us...

Thanks! Good info to know!

Just double checking, the gas swap would be simple? Any small block would bolt in. That would be GREAT news!

The gas motors are much easier to come by in my area. I've been told it's possible but looking for other info if its an easy swap or an OMG don't even think about it idea.

I'm picking up my first M1009 tomorrow. :-P It has less than 26000 miles, has new tires, excellent interior and solid body with no rust. I'm all fired up, hopefully it will too. Now I've got a question. I bought a civi 86 K5 Blazer, 3 speed auto, 6.2 diesel this spring. He had replaced the...
