I'm in the middle of some other woes with my 1009, if it was running like it ought to I'd be near ready to buy one today, but I'd hesitate spending that much on it without even knowing what's wrong with her yet.

I was thinking about a Sunpro, I guess that adapter would work well with one? You have a specific part you used it with?

Plan on picking this up, but thought I would ask if anyone knew any extra parts I would need, to maybe save me 30 minutes per drive to the Lowes or O'reilly each time I find I'm missing a part. Part I'm planning on buying is here: Equus 6244 - Oil Pressure Gauge | O'Reilly Auto Parts Unless...

My 'yes count me in' is very cost-dependent. I don't know if it's worth more to me than I paid for the truck, but these kits often seem to approach that. I do intend to keep working on the truck for the time being, so eventually a significant heating investment would be worthwhile. Especially...

To be honest, I want them for a buddy of mine who likes the ones in my Blazer and wants some for his golf cart/hunting wagon. If I find him some, he's gonna help me weld the hole in my wheel well. So I'm not too picky on how they're mounted as long we can figure a way to get them into his golf...

Would like to get some replacement gun racks, the ones behind the driver's side chair in the Blazer. Anyone know where to get some NOS or un-welded used ones? Maybe someone's got a 1009 they're parting out? I can't find anything on Craigslist or Ebay or from forum searching, so thought I'd...

Is IP timing something I should mess with, without a dyno to test my results? I read about that in an old 4x4 magazine I had, that advancing the timing on a worn chain got them another 10% of their horsepower back. But I don't have a way to verify results other than to check the exhaust for...

20 mph? I wish I could get a 2nd gear shift at 20 instead of 25, but I'd _really_ like to get a 3rd gear shift at 35-40 instead of 45. Almost every road out here is 35, or 55, so having to hit 45 to get to third gear is a PITA. If I can make the TH400 shift sooner I'm gonna have to...

So, is there a reliable source for a kit, original or reproduction? Or does anyone just happen to have a full kit they'd like to part with? Would like to winterize my M1009 too, might be going to the Rockies this winter and would love to make it a little more bulletproof (although I should...

The inverter is a separate thing, unrelated to the stereo. Might need to power a household appliance or two out of the truck, or charge my laptop all weekend or something.

Cool, guess my hardest part will be just getting the speakers installed and wired then. I still plan to run a 24V inverter since that's the only thing I can think of to put on that bus in the back right now, and it's gonna be a big inverter so I'd rather cut down on the current pulled by it.

Yeah I'm sure I am confused :) But claiming it's primarily 12v does seem to conflict with at least some of what I've read already. I get that there are quite a few civilian 12v components in the truck, but I was under the impression that there was a dedicated 24v->12v converter powering this...

I was under the impression that placing that load on one battery can cause an uneven drain that can shorten your battery's lifespan. Someone at one point mentioned a battery leveler though I think? Also, has anyone considered getting native 24V stereo equipment instead of 12V? I'm trying to...

Sounds like you're on borrowed time. I'd go for it, assuming you've already considered what's necessary for the swap. Thanks for the help everyone by the way, I ended up calling my brother and with his help we got the bearings, seals, and brakes on the rear axle changed in a day. Ended up...

All the way out you say? That was the big no no in the -34. Any idea why?

Yeah that's what I've been doing, but its explanations at this point for someone who has never done this before are a little vague for me.

Man, I just expected it to look a little more like, well, any other part in the car :P That said, I cannot figure out how I'm supposed to pop out this C Clip so I can slide the axle out. I see the clip I think, and I got the lock screw and the sliding pin loose (sliding pin still partway in of...

The jaggedness around the inside housing. It looks like something has been eating away at it, and in droves. But I can't tell what, or that there's any sign of it in the gear oil. Attached a cropped pic.

Ok, I've attached some pics of what I saw when I took the diff cover off today. Didn't think I had any differential problems, was just going to remove the axle shaft to replace the seals and bearings. Then I saw what appears to be some seriously deep scoring in the differential. This isn't...

And here I am, looking for this exact same question, and I actually find the thread through forum search, only to find that no one followed up with the part # :P Apparently though, there's a core charge for the shoes, so I'll just be taking off my current set before I head up to NAPA since they...
