bearboley, I got mine on ebay... I think. It was about a year ago and IICR it was about the same price as this one: ebay heater :idea: Hey, what truck and what parts TM do you use, I can look it up :idea:

I bought a MRE Ration Heater and the power plug (silver end on cable in first pic) for it needs to be placed into a lamp socket like a standard tail lamp. I am going to rig a dash mount socket built into a reamed out 12v power supply socket- the type with a cover. I'll just epoxy a lamp socket...

Here are a couple of photos showing what I installed from LMC. The Black mat (LMC) is waaay too short to do any good; but is seems to have the same pattern as the original. Under the rubber mat, I installed this new remnant piece of 1/2 Stainmaster carpet padding. Feels real nice; but I'll be...

I ordered the rubber floor mat from LMC and received what looks like a front half of a truck set. It is a very tight side-to-side fit. I will have a session with a heat gun before I comment further. Meanwhile, the mat only extends from the front firewall to the middle of the seats, leaving a...

I installed the new Temp gauge. I got the part from the dealer some time ago; but did not install it until today. The Temp gauge went smoother than expected. I had already installed the gauge in the dash alongside the ammeter/voltage meter. To complete the install, I cut a gasket to match...

chevyCUCV, yes, I am asking about timing. I have all the bound TMs and refer to them regularly. I don't know that I have the equipment, or the technical ability to work on a 6.2's ignition; and I am looking for a mechanic or shop that can verify that it is up to snuff before I assume that the...

Is this necessarily bad... Replace the spare bad? I'd rather not hike out when I'm way in. Should I get the green fix-a-flat stuff? Can tubes be installed in the field? The tire is the Silent Armour type with plenty of tread??

I have not been having any trouble... having said that I would like to be ahead of the curve on ignition problems. This is my first diesel, so forgive me if my nomenclature is off. I just read some threads about timing and where to set it and at what RPM, etc,. I can work on my SBC all day; but...

Cool story to follow, and there was a happy ending in it for you. How lucky that the driver had the touch. For a while it looked like you were in deep ***. Well who knows... after you had those tacos... :shock:

If your new MV is like most from the Army, then you may consider a detailed interior sprucing up: Remove the dash pad. If it is in good shape the clean and paint it. If it is not... get one from a truck or blazer or suburban from the wrecking yard- you may have to keep looking until you find...

She is DOA because of radio while waiting in the car. is there a safe way to give her 12volt a jump?

You can remove the heater core without removing the engine compartment side of the heater box. Later, Joe Joe, I have the core from Napa- I figure I'll make the call on rebuiling when I see the old one. My question is that every other thread I read here says you need to pull a couple of...

I decided to spray a liner in my truck; but was put off by the high cost of some of the professionally applied ones. Likewise, I did not want to try box store of parts store brands like dulpicolor or herculiner. I asked at some of the forums and was told that SEM had a real good, easy-to-apply...

jvrotter, Rear Corner, drivers side

Mistaken1, you are mistaken... couldn't resist. The antenna, when pulled down does not interfere with the door whatsoever. I had the antenna on my M1008 knock off and had it in the same location. When I went through low trees or narrow trails it was easy for me to pull the cable to lower the tip...

As you may have read in my recent thread, I have added an antenna mount to the rear driver side of my M1009 Blazer. The antenna whip needs to be tied forward; but I can't find an obvious tie out for the tie down cord. The bumper seems too far forward. Anyone know the "right" place or have a...

MATT, thanks for posting a resolution... so far, to this thread. I appreciate learning how such problems are resolved. It makes it easier to assemble a list of things to check in the future for others looking for solutions later.

Any jack tha will get you up safely is a good one. The hi-Lift is a great jack for LIFTING- you cannot work under it... sooo take cribbing- even 2x4s or 4x4s if that is all you have OR take along reliable jackstands. Hi-Lift the rig, lock in the jack stand and then change the tire. The question...

I had to move the antenna mount from the existing front location to the rear on my M1009 Blazer. The problem was that the rear did not have nutserts in place on this vehicle- I have seen other M1009 Blazers with both locations ready to accept the antenna mount. I looked around the web and found...

Thanks for posting a resolution- glad to hear you are up-and-running. Too bad the original poster could not get things resolved. I had similar issues; but finally got my M1009 running after sanding all the leads in the GP card box . I still had intermittant issues where I would get a loud click...
