I won an mep002a gen set with the trailer and must run up to Redstone Aresenal to retrieve it. I am hoping to run a Sears Commercial buzz box welder with this thing once I get it home but not sure if it will have enough amps to support the current draw of the welder. I also want to put one of...

Mark, I wanted to thank you for the ones you sent me. I just got around to installing one of them yesterday and took pictures when I changed my fuel filter. Sure is nice to have a few new parts on this old truck! Don't know if the photo will make it but I tried anyway. Al Broadbent

I never even thought about opening the bottom valve to purge the filter of fuel until I saw the mess that I made when I just pulled the old filter off the base. The diesel that was in the container went into my deuce fuel tank so nothing was wasted except for the fuel that came out of the...

Just successfully replaced the fuel filter on my M1008A1 without any difficulty whatsoever. I could not find a thread with photos of the procedure so I took some as I did my maintenance and also posted a very short video o Youtube: The plastic hose that I used was a medical component of some...

That's beautiful! One of the finest GL purchases of an M1009 that I have seen in a while. I like how all of the radio racks & wiring are still intact as well as the antenna mounts which are becoming hard to find now. You did good! Kind of curious about what you paid for the truck? You can...

I did this with my M1008 because this happened to me. I tried pulling the cables off the batteries and when I got the first cable off the starter was still turning. Once I replaced the solenoid (behind the dashboard) I decided to put a disconnect switch to kill the 24 volts going down to the...

That's why I plan to use 12 volt headlight bulbs in my deuce via a voltage reducer. The pigtails would have to be used from a 24 volt military headlight which is no big deal. Once I do my truck I'll post the results on here for all to see. Not sure what a headlight bulb draws for amperage but...

I replaced the rubber O-ring piston in my unit and had similar problems. I think I cranked up the truck and built up the air enough to use air pressure to force the piston out by turning the steering wheel but not sure if that is the proper way to do it. It worked for me! You might try to get...

Thanks Kurt! I'll do another post tomorrow when I find the numbers. This K5 was a "trailering Special" (had that icon on the back fender of the Blazer) so who knows what the ratio will be.

Thanks kurtkds! I'll take the cover back off tomorrow to find the data on the ring gear and will post photos when I locate it. I will probably have to jack up the entire rear end to turn the gears. I really thought I had something when I looked at the carrier in this rear!

http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/pts/979551604.html Just showed up on Craig's List in case anyone is in the market for some cheap H1 rims.

AJM Blazer, thank you so much for the information about the differential that I have. I still want to use it as one of the components in a 60's era dune buggy that I used to make when we could legally drive on the beach here in Brevard County; basically a shortened truck frame, bucket seats...

12 Bolt Limited Slip/Gov Loc rear Just took a picture of the leaf springs and U-Bolts.

Just looked in the glove box but there's no data sheet like the ones that I saw in my 80's K5s. Is there another area that they posted this information in the 79 models? I will probably jack up the rear or front and rotate the tires to count revolutions of the driveshaft and tires to get a...

Steve, The spring perches are on top of the axle if you are talking about the "nut ends" of the U-Bolts; the U portion is under the axle. Is this good? Thanks for all the replies regarding this axle - even though it is a 12 bolt I guess it is no more beefy than the 10 bolt of the same...

I have been curious as to what type of differentials that were in one of my parts K5 Blazers so I pulled the cover and took photos. I will be selling the entire vehicle shortly but may reconsider because of this great find. I am not sure if the differential bolts into an M1009 without...

I just pulled the back off of a 12 bolt rear differential that is sitting in a '79 K5 Blazer and it looks like the Gov Lock setup in the photos that Westech just posted. No idea what the ratio is though. I will start a new thread to post photos of the internals in a few minutes.

I have four of these Dodge rims, brand new but have never tried them on my M1008A1. I can measure the setback distance from the back of the rim to where it bolts to the differential if you want. I have been told the bolt pattern is the same for Chevy, Mopar and Ford 8-lug rims. I also have five...

You have got to be "acedrawen" on Ebay! I go by aboonski on Steel Soldiers, Ebay and YouTube and live right by the interstate and State Road 192. If you encounter any problems on the way home with the CUCV II, give me a call (321) 427-3070. I always watch your auctions because you are a...

Hi Steve, after all the add ons by GL the total came to $888.94 for the unit that I won which has the trailer and bows with the generator. I hope I didn't screw up because I did not have my correct email address in my profile. I only found out that I won the lot because of the charge showing...
