    What happened to my mileage?

    I'm not sure you understand. My mileage initially INCREASED when I put the lift on. It stayed that way for several months. Now, my emissions have doubled, and my mileage has nearly halved. Something is amiss, and the lift has nothing to do with it.

    What happened to my mileage?

    ****UPDATE PG 5*** 86 M1009, ~66k miles. When I picked this up last year, I was getting approximately 17 mpg on average. I lifted it 4" and put 33" tires on it about 6 months ago. At that point, I was getting ~18mpg, I guess due to lower RPM's required with the bigger tires. Over the...

    M1009 Rear Seat Donor to Tired M1008 Bench

    I don't have an M1008 handy, but I'm gonna bet that the rear seat from an '09 is considerably narrower. IIRC, the rear seat in my 09 is ~46"

    Idea for ghetto air conditioning

    Just don't throw the thing down the driveway first. Air conditioners and rifles are different animals. ;-)

    Just got my M1009

    First, CONGRATS!! Glad it got you home in one piece! Siskiyou pass is tough. I took it in an RV in October. Not lots of fun. This might sound stupid, but did you have both of the underdash vents closed? Little round knobs just above the kick panels. If either of these is open, it pretty...

    M1009 Getting bad gas mileage

    Bumping this thread, cause I have a similar issue. My M1009 went from ~20mpg to 11.5mpg over the last 3 tanks. Nothing has changed otherwise. I replaced the fuel and air filters and no change. Any suggestions on where to look next?

    Rules Concerning Posts About Guns

    I disagree with them, but I abide. It is not legally possible for SS to face any kind of criminal or civil penalties for allowing firearm discussions. However; his house, his rules.

    1009 drifts ever so often

    If you haven't bought one, you should. Every K5 I've ever had cracked at the steering box. It was one of the first things I added when I got my M1009.

    1009 drifts ever so often

    I'm gonna have to try this. Mine steers too "easy". Very little resistance when I turn even with my 14" wide 33" tall super swamper boggers. It also wants to wander a bit at every rut in the road. Maybe I can do this and 'firm' up the steering a little.

    HELP! Starting problems... see video

    Can't help you much, but I can tell you that pumping the "gas pedal" doesn't do anything for a diesel.

    Belt whine... how do I tighten them?

    The upper bolts are metric- 10x1.5. Not sure if the lower bolt is the same.

    Windshield Washer Pump

    I don't know, but maybe we can trade. Mine spray water every time I turn them on. :-P

    BTW, any idea where I can find these? The dealership or somewhere else?

    Oh joy. Problems - Power steering pump and more!

    Well, being Mr. Industrious, and bored, I decided to go give it a look. Good news! Bolts came out no problem at all. Disconnected the batteries, pulled the drivers side alternator and all brackets. Removed PS pump. Found out that GM must have thought about these studs snapping off, as they...
