    M1009 K5 Blazer

    That is the ballast resistor for the glow plug system, drops 24v to 12v when the glow plug relay in energized, looks like it's getting hot at that connection.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Today's project was installing the M792 folding step on the tailgate. These only left the factory on the M792 ambulance version for ease of patient access. I always try and offer the most correct information I can here so others can use the information on their restoration. So I contacted...

    What radio for Mutt M151A2 ?

    No generator needed, draws up to 40A @ 24VDC, I would have the engine running during use. The GRC-106 was pretty munch phased out by the 90's.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Water pump replacement was the project this weekend. You can see on the old pump the trail of crud coming out the weep hole, been that way since I got it. Getting the old pump out is quite a chore, the two back bolts are only reachable after you unbolt the motor mount bracket. I thought the...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2018 - February VOTE HERE!

    I proudly vote for my brothers M38, willy10. It was a frame off restoration with no detail over looked, several years in the making. When not involved in parades, veterans activities or rallies it sits in the local museum so all can appreciate it, good job!.

    What are these parts from my S250 shelter.

    First one in a SINCGARS mounting base, second is a DAGR mount(GPS), I also see a GPS antenna down next to the breaker box. Not sure about the third bracket, the GRC-142 shelter I had also shared AC/DC power, just the way they did it.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Original style exhaust pipe/tip installed today, about an hour project. I had the exhaust tip for a while, stumbled on a vendor who had 150+ of them, also nice having the hardware kit with the hanger and bolts. The pipes finally appeared to be able to finish the job. Next project inbound....

    New M35A3 owner in Maine

    Hello from Down East Maine, nice rig.

    Going to have to pull M1009 trans. Questions

    I have done a few by myself, if you are working on dirt use a sheet of plywood, makes moving the jack easier. I always remove the transfer case first, not so much weight to juggle. Be sure to support the back of the engine as well. I'm sure others will chime in with some tips.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Lots of measuring and it is installed, the wire around the lever is a safety catch included in the hardware kit, prevents the pto lever from being engaged by accident. Next project is ready to go.

    m1009 Rear Window Troubles...of course

    I would think before you put the glass in the channel you could carefully squeeze it tighter making the channel narrower so just the rubber will hold it.
