Installing the Speedometer cable in the M1009 is fairly straight forward. I just installed mine- the outer plastic sheath was shabby and had worn t the steel core causing erratic readings. Here are a few of my observations that may save a little head scratching for the next guy: The parts store...

Nope, not the P/S fluids. The whine was there before I changed bracket and P/S pump. I topped it off and worked the steering until clear fluid bled out of the low pressure hose. I'm headed out to see if it's: U-joint Rear wheel Bearings Pinion Gear Any other places to look for a whine...

Did anyone find out what the trouble was? I am having the same issue. I know this is an old thread- hate when there is no resolution, but I just replaced the P/S pump/res. To be truthful, the noise was present BEFORE the P/S bracket broke, but now that I'm up and running, I'd like to chase that...

From my original post, you can see that I am having trouble with the bolts that hold the driver-side alternation bracket to the cylinder head. The two bolts do double duty for the power steering bracket as well... yeah, that one.. Post #17 shows the two bolts. The one on the right is chewed up-...

So I pulled the other stud that holds the Alt bracket (in ORANGE) The #6 bolt is called for in the water pump as well.Top one looks homemade with the broken end possibly left in the cylinder head. The bottom one is chewed up- I don't know why since the bad end was firmly in the head! Measuring...

Could be the bolts numbered 19 on the drawing, but the description for them is cut off- could you please repost? Thanks.

THEM are the one. ;)

Ditto on keeping a spare. IIRC I got mine from AntennaCLimber on this Forum.

You are right about the cool factor. I have one (with slider windows : 0) I often see guys in luxury cars looking at my ride with a wistful look. It's great. I paid like $2100. w/52k on it- also with starter probs- all good now. Enjoy.

One of these is broken off behind the bracket. Probably why the power steer ing bracket tab broke off. I can't fing a part number in the engine TM or the 20P TM. The bolt seems to be spec's for the right ALT and there is a part number of 14067718, but I have not foud it in a GM parts search...

I think if I see something rare, I’d buy it on the spot. As rare as they are a profit is assured in a flip, or spare parts from the rig in least good repair could be a consideration. Can’t fault a guy for being in the right place at the right time.

In the picture above it’s the one on far left. I’m guessing that bolt goes into the water jacket. It secures the water pump at about the one ‘o’clock position, then passes through the p/s pump bracket at about the seven o’clock position. Coolant seems to be coming down that bolt and running down...

This is the same bracket I ended up welding 8 years ago. It got dark before I could pull it tonight, but I did get eyes on and it is broken at the same tabs as before. Anyone know where I can lay my hands on one f these brackets? (P/N 14033879).

I love driving... and servicing, my M1009, but I got to thinking, as I was addressing a probable water pump leak, what's next? If the US military is phasing out the HumVee, in favor of MRAPs and such, what is the next civilized (streetable) size of military SUV we'll get, if ever? On the globale...

I had some fuse box problems this week, but was able to make a workaround. Would I be better off getting a newer fuse box that has a few more options?

I was able to get a prying tool between the back of the hood and the cowl. Baby rocking movements and the hood came back up in the corners. It opens and closes like a winner again. Thanks for all comments.

Overlooked latching and now I can’t get the hood open. Looks like the blow forced the bolts to pull the rear of the hood downwards. I can only get the hood open 6 inches before it binds against the cowl. Any ideas on how to procede?

After several weeks of life without my Blazer, I finally have it road worthy again, and so fa, it is running very smooth. I had this runaway, and then I was scared $4!+13$$ to even start the buggar. With help and recommendations from net friends willing to share, I was able to put the face...

There is an extra spot for the temp gauge on the passenger side, buried behind the intake leg on the number 8 port. It has a block off plate, but a GM part with a bung for a temp gauge is available. I went this route, but have not been all that satisfied. I don't know if the temp switch it too...

Thought I'd share: I used battery cable and insulated wire that matches the purple wire to the starter solenoid. Essentially, these are leads to the starter solenoid that terminate under the vehicle using appropriate sized Anderson Connectors. The purple cable from under the dash connects to...
