    low heat

    after you warm it up, maybe 15 minutes, put your hand on one of the heater hoses going into the truck, you should not be able to hold it more than 5 seconds. if you can your thermostat is open or its not 195F. i have seen the manifold heater fitting stop up, not letting water circulate.

    starter help

    sounds like the solinoid is not engageing the starter , you can buy it separately. if you have the starter out , you can test it on the bench to see if it engages properly. ground the case, put 12v or 24v to the batt post, jump the solinoid with a screwdriver and see if it jumps forward completely.

    Fuel Pressure Switch

    fuel pressure switch:confused: i think you mean water sensor. remove it from the old unit, replace the o-ring, and install it on the new unit. check it for leaks before you install the new filter.

    M1009 needs Help

    suburban glass is different than blazer and they will not interchange. i have put all the electric stuff in a manual tailgate and it worked fine. i bypassed the safety switches so the window could be open when the tailgate is down

    Best year for a M1009

    i think the last month was 8-86, because the 9th month would have pushed it into 87 model year.

    Fuel leaking from filter

    i have fixed them, take the water sensor apart in the middle of the housing and you will see a common size o-ring. the way i tested it was remove the filter, put temporary rubber fuel lines on the inlet and outlet of the housing, fire it up and watch where the fuel comes out.

    M1009 Value

    i had an 86 m1009 with 3600 miles. it was as nice as new, still had the original 10-15 rubber, no cracks in the dash. smelled new. i got 7500 for it . i think 12v conversion hurts it.

    How many CUCV's were produced

    i had a m1009 that was built in 8-86. vin was 1g8ed18jxgf206000 . or close. ive never seen a blazer that was 87 by model year (h in the vin). ive seen 87 year model trucks to about 15000 sequence number. latest truck date ive seen is 10-86. so im guessing oct 86 was the last of them.
