I am in the middle of a restoration of my M416 1/4T trailer. I have to decide if I should paint it in the Original 24087 Vietnam/Korean Semi-Gloss Olive Drab (what I found under the current white paint :cookoo:. OR the CARC 383 to match the solid one-color 383 paint on my Blazer. I like the...

I just got back from a 7 day hunting trip. The first time I shifted into 4 HI, I would go a few yards under small loads and the Transfer case (TC) would make a loud grinding noise and then sound as if it were free wheeling. I would slow and place it in park and then shut her down. Upon...

My renewal came from DMV. It says I need a DEQ Certificate of Compliance. Whoa... I thought that there was some code in the VIN that keyed them to recognize my CUCV as exempt? Anyone that can shed some light... especially Oregonians.

The grinding I hear in my front driver's side wheel turned out to be the wheel bearing. I knew I was having to remove the wheel to check so I thought I might make some upgrades while I was at it. I bought a new WARN manual lock-out set (1/4 turn) and have it standing by. Just now I got the back...

I have the manual. It simply says to remove it... How? I tried to grab it with needle nose'- no go. Here is the drawing and what I have out so far. Notice the apparently broken washer(spacer) I pulled out- lay inside of the ammo can top. I didn't see one like it in the drawing?!? It is twisted-...

Can this AC bracket be used for the 6.2 we have in the Blazers? I don't know if any existing equipment would be in the way or the 6.2 mounting busses are different on 2009-2012 6.2 engines. I found it online while looking for one that would allow AC in a stock Blazer...

I have put in all my brakes since 1977. I have not run across pads like the ones I see on the Blazers in this forum. They look like a royal PITA. If I take my Blazer in for brakes instead of tackling them myself: Will the brakes guys know what to do? Will they get all the right parts? Will...

Blazer Cargo panels- NOW WITH PICTURES! I mentioned this new project in WHYDL but I thought it may make a good thread to get more ideas. I obtained panels from a wrecking yard civvy Blazer. Made mods to accommodate my speaker boxes. Covered them with some new Milspec OD waterproof canvas- very...

I have converted the LS-671/VRC Speaker to plug into my CB. Since it has a nifty little mic clip in front, I thought I would like to convert the mic that hangs there (or could) to work with the Uniden (4pin) CB I am using. Has anyone heard of this?

I have, so far,[knock wood] been very lucky about not having to abandon my vehicle to seek help (walk out). Last time we had known issues was in my friend's Jeep with a stick, so I reminded him to park facing downhill, if his starter would not crank in the morning we could roll start it- it...

I have been drawing hunting tags for some remote places in my state. I have been considering a SAT phone rental... just in case. Recently I read about the FCC or some other agency refusing to prosecute an unlicensed radio operator for using a VHF radio. He apparently used it call for help...

After over a year of intermittent Clacking when I turn the key in my Blazer, I have finally learned what may be the ailment for so many of us. I tried replacing: starters (3), Starter solenoids (4), Starter Relays- after the Doghead Mod (4), most of the ignition circuit wiring- including the...

Just wanted to post a positive comment for a change. I always seem to come here with problems that I need help with. I am happy to say that I was just outside getting the garbage cans in from the road. My Blazer runs well now that the starter issues have been resolved. I drove it all day with...

Gonna add shims to stop all the grinding. The TM shows a straight-ish looking shim- but this is for a Direct Drive starter. Is the gear reduction that I am using (28MT) the same or is the offset needed?

My new battery cables, new starter relay solenoid and new starter forked about 5 times yesterday then I get >CLACK<. I know you all are tired of this never ending thread; but since I have never figured out what the problem is, I never have been able to say it has been FIXED- only that it is...

I just bought a set of injectors for the M1009 that now seems to be up and running as of 20 minutes ago. The starter problem fixed, I discover air getting into my fuel line. Turned out to be the rubber hose that runs up toward the IP from the chassis near the fuel pump. Fixed a leak I found...

It feels like a fuel starvation issue, so I opened the fuel bleed and cranked it 2-3 times. It finally started and will restart immediately. I can restart it as many times as I want. If I let it sit for 20 minutes though, it will need to be cranked and bled before a I can get it to start again...

Is this the norm? I know its probably OEM; but do these things need service? I checked the ground and main power wire, they look fine. Is there a test I can perform?

I have just finished installing new 2g battery cables. including a new 2g Ground cable. A new starter, and starter relay are also in place- first start... CLACK! No cranking of any kind. Batteries are new and charged. I hear and feel the relay under the dash open to complete the circuit, so I...

I, as some of you know by now, have been fighting starter issues since buying my first M1009 Blazer- to be honest it runs well most of the time; but I squeeze my buns every time I turn the key. I have made up a short list of things to carry for field expedient repairs excluding tools and...
