tourus, thanks for your reply. I don't understand how I would wire the Hellas in without a separate harness to do what you are talking about. Do you have a link or a down-n-dirty schematic?
I tried my hand at adding the driving light harness on-to the LMC harness. The stock headlights are shown as running with the LMC harness. I have added the HELLA harness- as I believe may work with the LMC harness. The TOGGLE is to cut out the Driving lights when they are not needed to...
I am getting ready to install a set of HELLA 500's lamps onto my roof rack (probably, and not the guard :confused:). I was going to buy the LMC harness to increase my stock light output while at it.
Q: Based on Warthog's diagram on the Headlight Sticky, could I modify his headlight upgrade...
I know this is an older thread; but I had not seen it earlier and wanted to respond with a pretty handy option for those of you running the Group 31 batteries. When my M1009 was new to me it had the original 6TL batteries. I had starter issues, and in an attempt to find the problem, I swapped...
I pulled my ignition cylinder to see why it would not rotate CCW to the ACC position. I found that these OEM cylinders were pinned so that the key turned and hit the pin (Roll pin) and would go no further. I replaced my cylinder with one from Azone; but as I look at the original, one would...
I recently had my Blazer on the rack for a look at the Transfer Case. While it was up there the NAPA mechanic pointed out signs of an oil leak at my drivers side brakes. He asked me if I had noticed the truck pulling to the right when I brake. I had; but never got around to troubleshooting the...
Hey guys, Last hunting season I decided to remove the rear seat and install a divider behind the front seats fo I could control loads better in 4x country. The divider came from a donor chevy van at the wrecking yard. I love having these in... but, in order to replace the rear seat, I have to...
I had the same problem when parking nose up hill. Everytime I parked this way for more than a couple of hours, it was a pain to start- like there was no fuel available. It is the fuel running back toward the tank, thanks to gravity... gravity, it used to be fun, now it's a law. :cookoo:
Found...
OP, what exactly is the problem that you are trying to fix? Window won't go up/down. Handle crank turns- window goes nowhere? Key can't lock/unlock?
If the glass is giving you a problem and won't go up or down anymore. The problem maybe the teeth that drive the regulator gearing. A new...
Sweet low-cost alarm that calls your cell phone. http://www.anthony-dacko.net/GSM-TRIP-WIRE.htm
Just stumbled across this cool idea for a remote alarm. It can be modified to work with any number of switches to close the circuit and begin the 1-touch dial to notify you. This website shows the...
The lock was confusing to take apart- even moreso to put together. As I recall... there is a roll pin that held the blocky little lock ward in the middle of the cast piece. You have to drive the pin out- note which ends it needs to be returned to. Then pull the little cast section out- took...
I was at Ft. Lewis in Washington a couple of days ago picking up some auction lots. I passed some motor pools and vehicle bone yards that made me drool all over my interior's upholstery. Big fun!
I noticed that many of the M1009s I saw had a paint job similar to this one, which I did a quick...
I like the lift you have built. It looks like a must when you are trying to hoist that bugger up onto the roof. I have discovered this method from F&S magazine. It can be used to hoist to the roof as well. The downside is that you will need a hefty tree nearby. Yours is pretty sweet as it is...
New batteries and still occasional start problem you described... Check the starter and confirm that it was changed to a 12volt. Then check the space in the flexplate-to-starting gear. I am convinced that many of us are driving around with starters that have been milled down during refurbishing...
The window is not a problem if you pull out the sweeps and pull the track screws from the drive's side od the gate. Then wiggle the track bottom to centerline of the gate allowing you to pull the glass free. Now you can really tear the tracks free and reline them. I used strips of felt I had...
My M1009 had been slipping- taking 20 cranks to get the window up or down. Then it broke altogether. I bought the clutch from the parts guy on the BAY and tore into the tailgate. Turns out it was not the clutch. Here is a post from WHYDTYCUCVT/L:
Get...
Scott, I read your thread; but when I got to post #10 you say:
I have to go back to court to get a lien against him. I just want his *&%&($*&%*)(^&^(_^(_^(&.
I know you are angry and frustrated, I could tell by : "*&%&($*&%*)" But that bit at the end: "(^&^(_^(_^(&" (his words, not mine) was a...
Thanks for the replies, I'd wait for more of them; but I guess I didn't need much of a push toward "matching" the trailer to my M1009.
I do love the look of the 20847; but I can see how I would draw looks from folks thinking: hmmm, nice but he didn't get the colors right.
My first trailer, and...
