The three cylinder things to the left of the wiper motor, with the wires running through them and to the wiper motor? They look kind of like fusible links, but different. And, can these be the culprit if my wiper motor is brand new but seems to be seriously lacking power? It works, but it won't...

I just got around to installing my new starter, ordered from Nations auto elec., but my truck did not have the bracket on the back. I plan on grabbing one just to be safe, and putting it on. However, even with my small hands I had a hell of a time removing the old starter and installing the new...

So I got up yesterday morning, and in the 15 degree morning, I couldn't get my truck to start. I cranked and crrrraaaanked and it wasnt too long before the battery died. So, I figured my truck was having cold issues, and called a tow truck. They tried jumping it, and the next 20 minutes were...

In the process of installing an aftermarket horn to my M1009, I seem to have done a bit of damage. I can get the horn to sound by running a wire straight to the battery, but it won't work when I hook it up to the horn button. All I get when I press the horn is a clicking sound from under the...

How much work is involved in a swap like this? How hard would it be to change the gearing back to what I had in the 1009 axles? Am I looking to have my cake and eat it too on this one?

I am thinking about the possibility of putting the "convertible top" setup of the 1972 Blazer onto my M1009. I know my current cab would have to be cut to make this work, but would a 1972 windshield setup fit onto mine without any significant problems? Any chance the cap would fit on with no...

In the process of diagnosing my blower motor's lack of power, my dad and I inadvertently ground out the battery gauge in the dash panel. My M1009 won't start now, it seems like the batteries have been draining with every start and finally gave up. I can jump it and everything will run fine...

I need to replace my radiator, and I'm not sure what will work. My assumption would be that most any mid-80's GM fullsize truck radiator should fit in my M1009. Is this a correct assumption, or is there a more specific size for my radiator?

I seem to have gotten all the luck with my M1009 so far. The latest issue I am having is with cold starts in the morning. I turn the key, wait for the glow plug light, then crank it and it cranks a couple times, then stops and makes a whining sound until I turn the key back. If I try again...

So I started my M1009 this morning, same as always, it starts right up and is ready to go. I was waiting on the girlfriend so I ended up idling around 5 minutes before I got going. I got around the block and started to make a turn when it stalled, causing me to miss the turn altogether due to...

I just visited my local tire shop and they had a great set of almost new 31" Wrangler MT/R tires for $30 a piece, mounted. Unfortunately, they only had three, and it looks like I have four wheels on my Blazer. So, now I need to find myself a fourth matching tire in the Boston area. That Wrangler...

Are there ever any rallies or meets or anything near the Boston area, or even in the general New England area?

I was driving my M1009 home from work today, stopped at a light, and when I went to take off, the engine started to go and then seemed to stumble and lower RPMs for a while like it was trying to "push" something to keep going, and after a few seconds it went back to normal. It happened a few...

So I bought myself a new 1000 watt power inverter from Costco to put in my M1009... it came with about two feet of cable, so I thought the easiest way to wire it up would be directly to the accessory wiring harness in the truck's interior. I was under the impression that this was 12v, so there...

I want to paint my M1009 in aircraft black CARC, but the only place I've found in my searches that carries it is Milspray at more than $250 for a gallon. Is there any other place to buy correct-looking aircraft black CARC paint from, preferably for less than Milspray?

I bought a set of belts to replace the aged and squeaking belts in my M1009 this morning. I got under the hood with my ratchet and started loosening up the alternators, which were both adjusted as far out as they could be for tension and still the old belts seemed a touch loose. I started with...

Ok... so I was working on wiring up my license plate light and accidentally touched the wrong wires in the trailer electrical harness :oops: and now none of my lights are working! Headlights, taillights, even the little light under the dash... they're all dead! The truck is still starting up...

So I took the bus out to PA this weekend to go pick up my truck. Stayed at a friend's in NJ close by for the night and went out on Saturday morning to pick the truck up. I drilled fresh holes to put the license plate on the back, said goodbye to my friend, and started the 325 mile drive back...

Anyone got a spare antenna with the mount for the drivers side of an M1009? I just bought mine and it's got one but not both... I'd love to give it a matching set though. What do those things go for?

JUST bought my M1009, and decided against taking it with illegal tags across four state lines and 300 miles. However, now I need to get it home, and it's either I have it trucked, or I make another trip back once I get new tags and risk the drive back. Anyone heading from the NJ/PA area up north...
