Both my MV's had the 27MT starter on them. I had them both rebuilt because the guy at the starter shop told me that the 27MT would probably last longer than the gear reduction style. Plus I had the support bracket for old style starters. I would at least take it off and have it checked. Be sure...

Mine was doing the same thing. I replaced the GP temp sensor, GP's, GP relay, GP controller card, fuel filter and base, and maybe a few other things. None of these things made any difference. If you want you can wire in a manual GP button as a backup option to the controller card. If the engine...

Check your transmission to engine bolts, you'll need a long extentsion or several together. Check your motor mounts. Check to see if your flywheel is rubbing the aluminum cover. While your there check to make sure the flywheel is tight. Can you hear the noise at idle in park? If not I would lean...

It must have expired....I haven't had time to even think about building sliders lately. My wife is a full time nursing student in a 10 month accelerated RN program. I work, take care of our son, and keep the house/place up so that leaves me with about enough time to sleep. However, in December...

I haven't taken an order in awhile, but yes I'm still making them.

I went this route. There was some operator error on my part but since I have that worked out everything has been good. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?105450-Diy-Winch-Install&highlight=

I have the 27MT direct drive starter on my MV's. The one I recently had rebuilt was pricey, somewhere around $150 for the rebuild. I could have got a new import gear reduction for less but decided to stick with the direct drive. According to the the starter shop owner, in his opinion the direct...

If your starter is not cranking the engine fast enough you will be chasing your tail from now on. It could be several things but your starter should spin the engine over really fast. I thought mine was turning the engine over fine until I had it rebuilt just to cross that off my list. Now it...

I was in a money crunch and put the Mile Markers on my M1028. Been running them now for well over a year without a single issue. I'm sure the Warns are better but hard to beat the price of the MM.

I have the Harbor Freight Badlands 12000lb on my M1028. I've used it a couple of times to pull my buddies out. They were stuck to the point that the winch was dragging my truck to them with all 4 tires locked.(I was on dry ground to.) It's slow. The cable will unspool and makes a mess if you try...

You've motivated me to get back on my 09 project! When I fist got it i did a ton of work to make it a reliable daily driver. I then got another vehicle and the poor 09 has been sitting in my shop for awhile. Time to get her back in fighting shape!

I should have posted a couple weeks ago when I figured out the problem but wanted to really put it to use before deciding to keep it. I never posted any reviews about the winch on HF's website. I wanted to make sure it wasn't something I was doing wrong before making any final conclusions. I...

A little update on my Harbor Freight 12000lb winch. I had the replacement installed for a few weeks before I actually got to put it to real use. My father in law called me and said he had his tractor stuck in a creek and needed my help. I quickly drove over and hooked up the winch and started...

Cool, it would be nice to see if he has made those swaps!

I got my 09 cheap and paid cash for it. I knew going into it that it needed some work. I've put about a grand into it since i've bought it. The way I look at it, that is only about 2 normal vehicle payments. You can do a lot to these with the money you would have spent on regular vehicle...

I would say your best bet is find a local mechanic that has experience with the military blazers or CUCV's. That may not be possible though. If you do find one then you can try and find a 09 that is worth putting some money into. I would look for a lower mileage one that doesn't need a ton of...

I figure he probably moved on to another project.

This build is too awesome to let die! Any updates?

I just except it and move on...you have to live somewhere, besides with the size of your head there's no more room in OKC! :-P But I did drop that starter off and they said they would have it done this evening or 1st thing in the morning!!!! Must have caught them on a slow day.
