Well, I went down to the local dealer today - their prices are about double what GMPartsDirect charges. Interestingly enough, they didn't have anything for part number 358593 either.

Michael, Those part numbers were exactly what I was looking for - I'm going to take a list down to the (st|d)ealer on Monday and see what they want to charge me. I might be able to fix their computers again and get some free parts in trade :D

Thanks all! I'd forgotten about the strip at the top of the window - looks like I'll need that too.

Well, it's looking to be an active monsoon season out here in NM, and I can't park in the carport all the time, so.... Anyone know where I can pick up weatherstripping for the M1009? I need the piece that seals the tailgate around the bed and sides, and the piece that seals around the glass at...

Dang, right when I've spent a bunch of $, the good finds come up!

Very nice, I'll have to consider one for my own M1009

RE: Here Nice! I'm crossing my fingers and saving up pennies so that when one comes along with the turbo multifuel, I can pounce on it. Now, convincing the girlfriend to let me....

Got into BWI last night, I'll be here ten days or so. And yeah, I left the kit at home... shoulda dragged that to the airport and brought it along, but security being what it is I didn't want to confuse some poor screener with it. :roll:

FedEx found my house, a small miracle in itself. The kit came pretty much as seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyberspacecowboy_2001/557035825/ The top tray had all the necessary fittings, etc: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyberspacecowboy_2001/556831134/ Very nice looking unit...

FedEx came through! Yay! Pics and experiences to come soon!

aua :twisted: :roll:

Well, I know they at least test the alternator outputs and can show engine RPMs :) I'll post photos here when I get mine... might have to wait until I get back from my vacation.

Hooks up to the diagnostic connector, or you clip leads to various locations in the engine, depending on the test.

Ziggy, Have they shipped out yet? Or has FedEx failed to find my house yet again?

Nice find, welcome to the club! Looks like it's got military-style 6TL batteries. I recall those are NOT maintainance-free, so you may want to grab a tester at an auto parts store and check them out before driving off. Conventional wisdom applies - check the fluids, carry spare filters, etc...

My M1009 is known as "Teh Beast". The misspelling is intentional, most of my friends are computer nerds. I was the guy who wished for a Shop class instead of Typing.

Mine's centered at the moment (pintle's missing), but when I put the new pintle on, I'm going for left of center. In my home state, there's an exemption from the lighted plate requirements for 'classic' cars that's worded such that I don't need one if it wasn't originally equipped with one...

Oh damn, now I have to scrape $250 up from somewhere....

Regular unleaded is $3.09 here, with highway diesel at $3.11 Funny thing is, down the road a few hours, unleaded is the same price, and diesel is only $2.75

Well, it went for $6,850 - bit much for me. You'd have to figure on spending at least that getting it back to the mainland.... I figure someone is interested in the auction photos, so I've mirrored them here: http://www.sdc.org/~hswan/images/M811/
