would like to put 33 inch tires on the m1009 and have a little clearance. how much lift would make a nice fit and look and what the best kit or best way to lift one of these and make it a better riding vehicle?
Id like to put a center console in my 1009 can any of you guys share some thoughts, suggestions on what you have used or bought and any companies that make consoles for this style blazer.
wont know untill further teardown if motor is rebuildable. It will start it will run but looses oil pressure like crazy. Its been awhile since ive rebuilt anything my last project was a 77 chevy c10 with a 250 inline six cylinder all crane parts lifters, pushrods, gold race roller rockers...
Ok i found some metal shavings in pan i think my bearings are going and why my oil light keeps coming on. My questions are what do i do now should i rebuild or buy a rebuilt motor? If i rebuild who carries master rebuild kits for a good price? do any of you know of any good prices on rebuilt...
Wanted to get part from napa but didnt want to wait a day or two for it. So i ended up getting oil pump for the m1009 from autozone and i wonderd if i got the correct part before taking pan off and finding out that it isnt. autozone part # m-551 melling oil pump for 86 blazer 6.2 diesel ?
well just came in from outside. Freezing out there. Anyways i couldnt get ahold of friend who had the shop gauge so i built a t and hooked up both the sending unit and mechanical gauge. when engine cold start i get 15 lbs then as it warms up it drops to hardly anything. If you give it gas in...
replaced the sending unit oil pressure switch and lights still coming on. A friend has a oil pressure gauge from work hes gonna hook up today or tomorrow and see what pressure is. was reading also in one of manuals where it said to check idle rpm using ste/ice tester and set rpm to 625 by...
looked up everything last night got all numbers for parts i need and looked up NAPA parts to see what they would cost and wrote down #s needed. gonna pick up what i need today Thanks
Does anyone know the Napa part number for sending unit? Think ill just change sending unit and put new oil pan gasket on and also hook up mech guage and then i can always see what my pressure is.
no not over my head just needed to know whereto hook up line to. ive never hooked one up before. you explained it pretty well and the T is a good idea and ill keep the guage hooked up under dash. Its always best to ask then to suffer consequences for not asking or not hooking something up right.
Can i use the mechanical oil guage from 77 checvy c10 the cluster is same? How do i go about hooking up either this guage or another mechanical oil guage? Thanks
i used valvoline 15x40 for diesels and a fram ph5 filter. yes it started b 4 oil change it was the first thing on my checklist to do once i got it home from recovery. i think its only doing it once its hot ill check next time i start it cold. i have a mechanical guage from another cluster i...
Well my oil light will start to come in the m1009. Once blazer is warmed up and you drive its fine the light is off but when you come to a stop and blazer ideling it will start to come on once you give it gas to go it goes off? I changed oil and filter few days ago and checked oil level its...
