Holy bad luck truck! :!:

My guess is prior stress. I was putting a 700R4 in my old blazer (not m1009) and it got knocked off the stand and split in two, almost like a spiral fracture on your arm or something. Turns out, after going back to the yard where I picked it up from, the truck it was in had ran straight on...

Nice find! I can't say I can help with the whole PA thing since I'm on the other side of the country, but I will say most everyone on here is pretty quick and helpful about questions you can post on here. I feel your pain on the glowplugs, that is why I change mine every year now. I just...

What wheels are those? Love the color too by the way :mrgreen: OP, nice lift! What wheels/tires you planning on?

Hey Biggs, when you went manual did you just end up pulling the GP card and have a 12v switch/button going to the relay? I've got that wired now, but I still have the GP card, and wiring in place (since it still works) and was just curious if that is all you did. Combatmech, I'd agree that...

Being from Cali as well, I'm sure you've seen your fair share of them as well ;)

No, I think too many people place too much value on man made objects, INSTEAD of placing it on the people that they should honor. I've no problems with people wanting to keep any MV in perfect condition, just as Uncle Sam wanted to "honor" the troops that it served, but they shouldn't expect...

;-) I couldn't agree more Randy :-D One of the hardest things to do I've found, is stand up for free speach even when the speech you are standing for you despise because it isn't what you believe. I'm sure you know what I mean, when you see the other sides bumper stickers, or signs held in...

I'm very happy with these. :-D

Thanks for your view EMR. I appreciate the time you spent responding. To me, these are just engines, bodies, and tires put together by the lowest bidder. I see no sense in holding them above anything else. Just as to me a Marine's Ka-Bar may be special to him, but to me it will always just be...

And by the way, I do mean things that are in "good taste." I have little respect for someone who puts "f**k liberals" on their bumper. Is it their right? Absolutely. Are those the things I was talking about in my above pos? Not at all.

Wow, a lot of good views, and excellent points of view in the past 9 pages. I have to admit, I can see reason both ways. Now for me, I'm not someone who is into restoration. I never have been with my old cars, and haven't started with my M1009. Sure, I understand why people do it, but for me...

Yes! Please let us know what they tell you about the card. :-D

Will pick it up here in the next hour or so. The ground you ran, just a new one from the front battery to the firewall? I've heard it could be a ground in the dash, but I can't find the grounding point for that, plus with a multimeter, the gauge plug seems to have all good grounds.

Which relay did you swap out? After pulling the gauges I found that the wire to Gen2 (+ positive one, the ground was fine) looked like it had been burnt out. I'll upload a photo ASAP. EDIT: I think I found the issue with the Gen2 light! Ordered a replacement from LMC today. $99 with...

Ground looks good, and have low ohm's for resistance. It started right away today, but when that glow plug relay kicks in when it is warming up, it kicks in for about a second, every 3 seconds. Voltage drops, and engine idle drops (my guess is from the load placed on the alternators.) There...

The alternators are putting out what they should though, and aren't changing... I don't have any registered voltage at the gauge in the dash though, even though i'm getting 30v combined from both alternators... Blinker lights stay on, gas gauge stays on empty, buzzer keeps sounding... Really...

Anyone know the wires for the ignition system? as in which color does what?

So, got Gen2 back after $60, they replaced all the normal items in it and said that the regulator had died. I put it in, and went to start the blazer and nothing happened.... Lights came on (expect for gen2) and everything was normal, but no cranking... So I tried it again and this time it...
