    Starter Engagement

    Replaced my flex plate about 2 years ago when the tranny was done as there was a few teeth that were messed up from having the starter relay stick. Since then it has always started with no grinding or problems of any kind. Today I went to start it up as usual and it just spun like the starter...

    Brake Combination (Proportioning) Valve

    So mine started leaking from where the rear brake line connects to it. I took it apart to clean it and hopefully get it to seal up so I wouldn't keep getting air in my rear brakes. Long story short I pinched the seal inside and it got tore apart when I put it back together. Where can I get a new...

    Heater Core Shutoff?

    Is there supposed to be some sort of valve that shuts flow off through the heater core when the control is on cold? I seems like a lot of water bypassing the radiator that could be cooled. I tested it yesterday and when it is 112* outside the truck ran at 205 with heater off and 195-200 with it on.

    Gen 2 light Off

    For the last 2 years my m1009's Gen 2 light as flickered on and off while driving. Recently the light has stopped working altogether. It does not come on with the gen 1 light when the ignition is on. I checked the two relays under the dash and they both are switching and I swapped the one for...

    Mechanical Water Temp Gauge

    Does anyone have issues with their temp gauges in the heat? I cant believe that it isn't effected by the 200* air in the engine bay and running 6" from the exhaust manifolds. Just trying to decide if I want to pay up for an electric one vs a mechanical one.

    Why so Hot?

    Runs around the 190* thermostat when temps are below about 90*. For temps between 90-105* it will run about 195-200* in traffic or at lights, about 200-205 down the highway, and as high as 210* on long hills. Has a new water pump, thermostat, fan clutch, and radiator was fixed and cleaned about...

    What is the front crank seal that is easy to replace while I have the harmonic balancer off called? I am going to be replacing the balancer soon and want to do any preventative maintenance I can while I have it apart. A quick look on autozone's site left me wondering what exactly to search for...

    Brake Warning Light

    I noticed every once in a while when I panic stopped my warning light would come on on the dash for a second and then go off. Recently I changed the front brake lines to longer lines off a 92 2wd chevy. They are brand new, but about 4" longer. Now when I hit the brakes hard but not to the floor...

    Gen 1 Light and Fan

    When I was driving home tonight I had the heater on full speed as I normally do. Everything was find until the Gen 1 light randomly came on as bright as when the engine is off and the fan shut off. Then light went off and fan came back on. It did it one more time and again fixed itself. I...

    Freeze Plugs?

    Ok so the drivers side freeze plug on my truck is leaking. It is the one under the motor mount. How difficult is that one to replace and about how long does it take? I'm guessing I need to pull both motor mounts. Additionally where is a block heater supposed to go as my truck doesn't have one...

    Yoke Play

    There is about 1/8" of play in my m1009's front D44 yoke. It will move in and out. What needs to be replaced and do I need to pull the whole carrier assembly to do it or just the yoke nut?

    Sound in intake

    When I have the air filter box off I can hear a quiet suck suck suck sound from the drivers side intake hole. It is pretty subtle and has been doing it since I can remember (about a year at least) I think it has been there since I owned it. What could it be? Truck runs fine and has same amount...

    Battery Repair?

    Well I haven added water to my batteries in about 2 years:doh: and they finally wouldn't hold a charge. Opened them up and sure enough they had about 1/4 the fluid in them. Filled them both up with distilled water and one charged up and seems fine. The other one, however, gets a open...
