Looking for a air filter base gasket ; 15530620 GROMMET NONMETALLIC.
Anyone know where to obtain one or is it a standard diameter part that I could source from a local store?
6 years ago my starter failed, started grinding the flexplate. It had been cranking slow since I got it 2 1/2 years earlier, the guy who sold it to me said they were all like that. Went to a friends shop, where there were plenty of CUCV parts kicking about in case I needed something.
He...
Couple of weeks ago I took my M1009 in to a reputable specialist shop to fix the leaks on my NP208. It was leaking at the rear seal, needed a new bushing also. The tail housing was leaking as was where the case splits in half. So I had them take it apart, re-seal the case and replace several...
Took my M1009 in today to a reputable transmission shop I have used before to take apart, replace seals snd bushing and re-seal my transfer case. Looks great, no leaks anymore. Drive away and notice that my speedometer is reading way too slow. Not bouncing or anything weird, worked perfectly...
So, noticed fuel down at my bellhousing cover drain hole and at bottom of starter next to block. Its draining down from the intake valley. Took off air cleaner assembly to get a better look. All the lines at the IP are dry, it looks like its coming somewhere halfway down the valley. I suspect...
Had this issue with my rear output shaft seal for a while. Yes, I've replaced it 4 times. Lasts close to a year then starts seeping again. Eventually if I dont wipe it off it starts flinging off the yoke and drips on the ground, very small amount, buts its annoying. I have a 4 inch lift so the...
I first changed out my lift pump due to start issues related to leaking filter base, it was probably still good. Put a Carter pump in, it failed after 5 years, leaked where the steel lower is crimped to the aluminum housing. The next one has failed after only 13 months. What a piece of ****...
Been hearing a slight squeak when using wipers. Removed cowl, lubed linkage, works smoother but sounds like its in the wiper motor.
Read this on a thread ; applied a good dose of electrical contact cleaner inside the wiper motor body where the gears are, blew some air in it, and then applied...
Did my hubs today, put in new bearings and races. When I looked in the TM's it shows a washer between the locknuts and locking hub. I dont seem to have these on either side. As well the only snap ring I have is the one on the outer edge that holds the hub in place, is there supposed to be...
I noticed some coolant leaking on the ground. Looks like its coming from the harmonic balancer, all hoses and connections are good. Appears to be a water pump failure. From underneath it looks like the bottom of the pump is wet where there is a small hole. Think I read about this weep hole...
Been driving my M1009 for 7 years with a 4"lift. Had to replace my rear t-case seal multiple times due to it starting to leak. Its only a little weep but it eventually collects on the u-joint and drips on the ground. You can clearly see the old wear marks where shaft used to contact the seal...
Recently I noticed a few oil leaks. Suspected the CDR , so I took it off, a small amount of oil came out of the inlet hose, the CDR had very little inside and didn't appear gunked up. I cleaned it with Q-tips, blew into the small hole and can hear it close so it seems to be ok. Took the oil cap...
Went to fire her up this morning. Turned the key to ignition on, had Gen 1 light up but not the Gen 2 light. Voltmeter read dead as if it were off. Turned the ignition off and back to on, everything worked normal, fired right up as always. Worked fine again this afternoon when I fired it up...
Officially stuck..at least I'm at home. Decided to open a new thread for this problem, hopefully I can get some ideas from you guys. Had to replace the fuel lift pump yesterday, at the same time I swapped in a new filter assembly. went to bleed the system today with an air compressor @5psi. Got...
Putting in a new fuel lift pump, which only lasted 5 years. I decided to replace the fuel filter housing assembly at the same time. Tomorrow I"m going to bleed the system using compressed air via the fuel tank. I know how to bleed the filter. Question is, I have now allowed some air into the...
I replaced the lift pump on my M1009 on 12/2005. Today I noticed a leak underneath that I thought was coolant. On closer inspection it is diesel fuel. Traced it to the lift pump. Its not coming from any of the fuel lines but seems to be coming out of the lower most edge of the pump. It is a...
Was doing some lubing on my M1009. In the TM's it shows there should be lube zerks on the u-joints and a hole for the slip joint. Is this only on the M1008, because I cant see anywhere to lube either the u-joints which are sealed originals or the CV joint. There is a rubber boot on the shaft but...
These plugs go for $9.00 in the US. Here they list at the Lordco for $35.99, with my discount they're $ 24.29. Checked the GM dealer, list is $32.00, parts guy was friendly, let me have it for $20.00. This is bloody outrageous! Anyone source out a more reasonable cost somewhere up here in the...
Having this issue with the tail light/ stop light bulb not working. Give it a wack..it works. Keeps doing it. Checked it out, seems to be one of the two brass contacts in bottom of socket appears not as sprung as the other one. Dont have access to another bulb socket right now. Anyone know of a...
Last September I had my axle seals replaced as they were both leaking, so cover was off and new fluid installed. Now I have a little leak showing from one of the lower diff cover bolts. A guy I spoke to told me to remove it part way withought taking it right out, cleaning the bolt and using "the...
