Thanks for the help guys, I just about fixed it. it turned out that the fuse I put in between the Neg on the rear battery, and the wiring harness block burned out. I replaced that, and It starts. And the gen 1 light goes off, :lol: and the voltmeter works after I replaced another fuse...

Hey Mike, when you said you "tried to start it and got nothing", Do you mean no lights, buzzes or anything? Mine did the same thing with the relay, and my m1009 is completely dead.

RE: Re: RE: Battery concensus, what battery is the best?? Regular batteries sell for 2 or 3 times less than those optimas, and last just as long. You could get 2 batteries 700cca or more at sam's club for $100bucks. even if they lasted 3 years, you would still save money. I don't see what...

Haven't checked the switch yet. The headlights won't come on either I can't remember but I think you don't need the key in to have the lights on. I can't get anything to turn on, but I have voltage across various places. I'm thinking that there may be something between the batteries and...

Nope, I can't get it to start. When I turn the key not even the dash lights come on. it acts like there are no batteries in it. But everything is back together. I'm wondering if this could be an ignition switch problem?

Ok, now I replaced the wires and put in new fuses. When I tried to start it, it sarted and I think the gen 1 light turned off but the started would not stop spinning. :cry: I threw the cutoff switch within seconds so nothing fried. It did this a couple weeks ago, so I replaced the...

Heres anothe pic of the Diamond shaped junction dealy.

I think I found the problem. I found a wire that was fried. It is spliced into a wire that comes from the negative of the rear battery, then goes through the diamond connector and fried the wire going to gen 1. Looks like the one exploded a little. They said something in my alt was really...

Will do. I'll be sure to check the belts and the voltmeter. I think there is a Bosch relay for the gen 2, but is there any relay or fuse for gen 1 that may go bad?

Thanksfor the tips guys, I put in some injector cleaner so far, and it seems to idle faster, maybe just because its colder, but It may have a slight amount of power. I can now peel out in dirt/ gravel more often. yay :D I'm looking in to those other things, but I need to enjoy it more before I...

I just got it tested at advaned ap and it was about 15V. I cant figure out why i got 40 dcV. that's not right anywhere on this thing. I have an analog meter but it was definately 40 ish. Should I take it back?

Now I already looked through all the many alternator posts, and I've not been able to figure it out. First, we got the starter rebuilt after it quit, the same day we put it back in, The Gen 1 light came on bright. So we tested it, got it rebuilt. When we put it in, The light was still on...

Good point, I may just stick with my 31s. They may look small on the blazer, but anything else like a jeep or ranger they are pretty good sized. Besides, I have more ground clearence I know what to do with. Or do I... :twisted:

So did you guys with the 33'' tires keep the stock 3.08 gears? Anything you would have done differently?

So If I were to get 3.73 or 3.42 gears, and bigger say 33'' tires, would I be back where I started for "power" and mileage? do you know of a magic combonation? I'd love a 700R4 but can't justify it for a couple of years ( I hope). Oh and Magnus, Is you m1009 up there lifted? it looks pretty...

I just looked at the auto parts store and they have rebuilt ones for $685. Definately need to find a place that does them. Got some injector cleaner to try for $5. I'll see what that does.

Cool, I'll check around. Thanks for the tips! :D

I'll try to post a copy of it, says it was sold in 1994 with 23, 319miles . Now that you mention it, I guess I'm could be off 100,000. Not sure how it got here from Hawaii. It has a hawaii inspection sticker, and an alaska sticker?? The previous owner seemed to go along with this. It is...

Cool, I didn't suspect there could be that many tricks. Thanks. It is at 59,000 miles now. The carfax said it was sold by the army in hawaii and had 2 or three owners before me. It has the stock gears (as far as I know).I had to replace some seals when the u jointwent out. It seems to coast...

Hello, this is Robert from Iowa. I've recently discovered this neat site and have been lerking in the shadows. I don't know how many times I've seen someone say they get 20 some mpg or have enough power to peel out at a stoplight. The same could not be said for my m1009. The only good thing...
