Ditto :ditto: on what WARWAG just said. As an owner of two camo trucks, I think that the look is better than most of the free hand schemes you see. It looks like you had an actual "pattern" in mind. That is the difference. Most just go at it until the cans run dry and they are " finished". I...

91W350, Mine were clanking around on my M1008; but I added a couple of wave washers and they don't bounce around like they used too.

wallew, Maybe you are thinking of just the pins?

I have some clevis rings that came on my truck; but the hace offest eyes that are not inline with the "ring". Since I am fabbing up a swing out tire carrier, I need the original type clevis rings. The ones I have can't rotate freely. anyone have a set to sell (2)? Maybe you can point me in the...

I don't think I have a chain big enough (in my collection) to fit the 31x10.5/15 tires on my M1009. Anyone use chains enough to recommend which brand or type?

What are you guys running in winter for snow and Ice... assuming you change at all? I have used the Hankook and the bridgestone Blizzaks; but not on a Blazer. The Silent Armour tires I have on have pretty decent tread still. Any reason to get a snow/ice tire for my first m1009 winter? What are...

i WAS WONERING THIS MYSELF... ABOUT THE EXTRA WEIGHT WE SEEM TO CARRY IN THESE RIGS. i HAVE (OOOPS) a hefty tool box a full spare, a Hi-lift jack and a swing-out bumper mount carrier. When I go out. When I head for the hills, I add 4-5 MFCs of Diesel and another 5-10 gallons of water+ gear...

Ron, Case Closed? I don't know about your tires; buty mine give a MAX. Tire Pressure only. They don't give a recommendation as to what the tire should be inflated to for a vehicle they don't (or couldn't possibly) know the tire is going to end up on. If it was as simple as that man I would not...

Have looked all over for the correct answer. There are many variations because the variables are many: What tire brand are you running? What tire size are you running? Are you running with a lift? Are you running with a load? OK lets get a benchmark for what seems to be the most common: Stock...

The drivers side rear Blackout light in the bumper of the M1009 I bought seems to grow dim sometimes- You can see the difference from the passenger side lamp. How do you test and R&R these?

Still painting my M1009. I was wondering which color is correct as opposed to wich color looks best. The rims on my M1008 were Ultra Flat Black. They looked pretty good; but I'd like to know what y'all prefer.

Where are you getting stage one CARC?

I guess its not too late; but since I have already paid for the paint and the HAZ MAT fee... I will use it up. Besides, part of the reason I went with 383 is that I wanted to avoid CARC and all the potential hazards I, as a novice painter with a modest shop, bring into the equation. I have...

K-then. Anyone have a tried and true method for flattening the "383" and darkening it as well?

In the middle of painting my M1009 with fresh "383" from Gillespie. I have read that it looks and finishes: "a little lighter than CARC" or"a little shinier than CARC. When I compared the dried "383" to CARC, I do see that the CARC IS both lighter and smoother/shinier. Sooooo... if this is the...

Since I bought my M10093 months ago, I have only been to the gas station 3 times. I always fill it at about 1/4 tank left. The first time I drove in to the station just after I bought it, the indiam guy that ran the place threw the lever on the Diesel pump and handed it to me. I never tanked up...

RE: doghead starter relay modifcation I got the new relay for this project to stave off any backroad breakdowns. As I reviewed the procedure I see something that may be a problem- not in the original procedure; but in the "add-ons", if you will, with the added diode: The original photos show...

Alright Jake, I was wondering about this stuff as I read the hype sheet- it sounded like that bottle of soap from Dr. Bonner's Does EVERYTHING!. So anyone object to treating every fill? What frequency works best and what treatment is the best available. I have read that using additives like...

So no one has seen this stuff at a parts store, 4x shop or truck stop? Huh! I wonder why distribution is so limited if the product is so beneficial to the many older diesel engines still in use? :|

I have been reading about Diesel Additives. Found some good info on this one. Anyone familiar with it? Is it effective. Where do you get it? How much does it cost? Thaks, Ed
