    84 m1009 starter bracket.

    I have the direct drive brackets. I had some made at a FAB shop 10 years ago.

    New to the M1009

    That power steering pump will work. If you look at the picture with the red circle that engine lifting bracket has 2 holes that is where the remote reservoir bolts fast. I like that set up . Beats the stock set up now that you have it. Save the coin and get other things in order before you spend...

    I don't like that standard bolt in the block. That hole is METRIC M8 1.25 I told you that. Don't try that 5/16" grade 5. I see 3 hash marks for grade 5. Thread chase that hole really good and make sure some other Knucklehead don't have the threads nuts up with standard bolt. Good Luck.

    Transmission Problems

    This is a reverse band similar to the TH400. If it is bad and worn it will have no reverse. I have been thru many reverse bands over the years with plow trucks. No amount of magic oil or changing filters is going to fix the issue. I have seen it happen in a heartbeat and I seen it progress with...

    I received a few pictures via Email on an estimate to repair this Blazer. A friend seen it on Facebook market for $2500. He called me and ask if I got the pictures. I said yes. I ask if he was near the vehicle. He said he was on his way to look at it. I said make a U turn and head back...

    I read and lost track. Yes maybe the crud is in the delivery nozzles. If you weren't so far away I would give you a set.

    Fuel filter , OEM or swap m1028

    You are good to go. That harness only went to the diagnostic port under the dash. Totally worthless. Start it up and drive on.

    A used injection pump is not new and is not considered rebuilt. Unless I heard and knew the engine that the donor pump was removed from ran as designed I would not even go thru the effort to install a used injection pump. And that would be ME seeing and hearing the engine run that the injection...

    When you see a vehicle with excessive rust. Be very careful and think " Do I want to put this thing up on a lift and stand under it. I had a 4 X 4 Isuzu P'up diesel and welded the frame several times to get it to pass inspection. I seen it a few years later in a scrap yard and the only thing...

    Fuel filter , OEM or swap m1028

    I used a self tapper and JB Weld and fastened the wires back in the hole so the harness had something connected to it. Done it on a few over the years. But I bought every switch I ever seen and used them all but 1. I still have 1 brand new switch.

    Fuel filter , OEM or swap m1028

    Just put a self tapping screw and sealer in the hole behind the pressure sensor and drive on. I see the pressure switches for sale from time to time. I have a few optional filters I removed from CUCV's and returned to stock fuel filters. I am OCD and don't like things that don't belong when a...

    I didn't see this post. Yes make sure you have a starter heat shield in place and the wire starter trigger wire goes behind the heat shield and onto the inner stud on the starter. I would turn the injection pump towards the drivers side 2 line thicknesses and see if that helps. With the glow...

    Alternater to reverse light

    Seems odd to have a 3 speed wiper switch for Back Up lamps. But whatever. And yes that will work for wipers. Just a bit confused as to what you are doing. Good Luck.

    A new ball is less then $20. I will just replace it. It has razor blade chrome peeling from it. If it were something special I would just fix it but it is nothing and not worth the effort.

    My 1977 K5 with the 400 in it sounded like NASCAR with the 4 barrel. It really had no power it just sounded bad. The 1977 400 shows 175 net horsepower and 290 net torque. WOW that is a dog. The new 5.3 engine is basically a 325 CI. Introduced in 1999, the 5.3-liter (325-cubic-inch) Vortec...

    That was a nice K5 in the day. It had A/C, power doors, tilt wheel and everything. I imagine it is a 1978. That snow plowing killed and still kills many good vehicles. I had a 1977 K5 with a 400 in it. With the lid on the air cleaner flipped it sounded like it was ready to take off. I was out...
