    Towing

    It does have one built in, it is not sufficient for heavy towing. No matter how many coolers you plumb in, you still have to face the fact that the 3.08 gearing of the M1009 is not tow friendly.

    Towing

    About 60 miles or less after you are on the road you will get a nice shower of ATF on your tailgate/window. That's too much weight for a stock M1009, they are geared too high to tow that much any distance. It's going to overheat the transmission and blow ATF out the rear output seal.

    4.10 or 3.73 ?

    Is the OAL of the 700r4 the same as the 400?, if so I think the swap would be ok, if not the pto shaft length would have to be changed.

    4.10 or 3.73 ?

    Would like to change the gearing on my M1031, will be using stock size tires. I changed a M1008 I had to 3.73 and it worked fine, my concern with the 1031 is the weight, 9200lbs, don't want it to be a dog. Thanks.

    relay will not shut off

    It is suppose to cycle after startup, if not the card is defective. I drove these cucv's for 20 years in the military and have driven one as a daily driver for 10+, they are suppose to cycle.

    relay will not shut off

    They should cycle 4 or five times in a row, you can watch your volt meter deflect each time. They will not cycle through the entire high idle period. You need to be more specific with the problem, is it staying on continuous or longer than you think it should? When cold the glow plug light...

    Ebay starters...bad idea?

    I bought mine from DB, after about 30 days the nose cone bushing fell out. I replaced the nose cone from another one I had as a fix. Did not have time to send it back/exchange. I think if you can, have the original rebuilt. The newer starter is easier to install, and lighter.

    relay will not shut off

    If the relay stays on, and it checks out ok than it has to be the controll card telling it to stay on. Pull the card, turn the key on and then jump the blue wire coming into the card box to ground, the relay should energize, unground and it should de-energize, if so you just confirmed your card...

    Read all FAQ's, but have new questions

    "I'm no mechanic, but I think my plan will be to over time convert as much as I can to civilian Blazer setup so it's easier to find parts and so forth and get shop help when I need it. " So why buy a military blazer??
