I just got back from a hunting trip here in the Great Pacific Northwest. I never ran my Blazer up roads like these before. I did slip bad a few times; but managed ok. In a month I have an Elk hunting trip and the terrain will be muddy/snowy. I am up for new tires with aggressive enough tread...

I have a parking space in my yard that has a small incline to it. I have noticed that when I park the Blazer there- Nose "up" it won't start- just cranks as if there is no gas. I have released the parking brake and rolled it backward to a level spot and it turns right over. I am guessing that...

If you have been following any of my threads lately then you may remember I recently replaced the Ebay (chinese) starter with a Wilson Starter. That went well and everything was jake. I felt so good about the prospects of not having to replace one in the field anytime soon , that I went out and...

Anyone know if the top cover for the air cleaner is the same as the civvy units- 2 holes? Anyone have a spare?

Rebuid an alt with isolated ground My #2 alt lamp is on steady as of this morning. I can't seem to find one on the shelf. Am I looking too hard? I am sort of in a hurry cause the hunting season opener is here. Where can I find one on the shelf- I'd take it to a rebuilder; but the one I normally...

I have been thinking of a way to cut down my Cargo Cover for my M1008 to fit my blazer. I would have to add a clear window, I suppose to maintain a rearview; but It does look cool IMHO. Cut the poles down, then girdle cut the top and drop it down over the bottom portion of the cover about six...

I am in the process of pulling my starter for replacement. I bought it in February this year and it is still under warranty. It is a Caltric from daBay. (1 year warranty... we'll see) Anyway. I tested it per the TM and found that there is indeed power to the purple wire at the starter solenoid...

Read applicable threads already; but no help so far. I have been chasing a "No Crank" problem for the past 48 hours. Ran wiring down as per TM. The situation is: Turn the key. All the requisite dash lights come on and cycle. All I hear is a click. Batteries checked, starter checked. Reminds me...

under the dash. I have replaced my batteries with two new ones. The GP card is new from Antenna Climber. I have been driving it for months since I cleaned the GP card contacts with sandpaper and inserted the new GP card. But today, out-of-the-blue, I turned the key, the WAIT light came on for...

I have read all, I think, threads regarding fuel injectors on this forum. It is my feeling that the injectors in my Blazer could use a rebuil. I understand that they are not too difficult to R&R; but I also have read that they can be easily rebuilt- though not easily tested by a DIY'er. Is...

I bought a MRE Ration Heater and the power plug (silver end on cable in first pic) for it needs to be placed into a lamp socket like a standard tail lamp. I am going to rig a dash mount socket built into a reamed out 12v power supply socket- the type with a cover. I'll just epoxy a lamp socket...

I ordered the rubber floor mat from LMC and received what looks like a front half of a truck set. It is a very tight side-to-side fit. I will have a session with a heat gun before I comment further. Meanwhile, the mat only extends from the front firewall to the middle of the seats, leaving a...

I installed the new Temp gauge. I got the part from the dealer some time ago; but did not install it until today. The Temp gauge went smoother than expected. I had already installed the gauge in the dash alongside the ammeter/voltage meter. To complete the install, I cut a gasket to match...

Is this necessarily bad... Replace the spare bad? I'd rather not hike out when I'm way in. Should I get the green fix-a-flat stuff? Can tubes be installed in the field? The tire is the Silent Armour type with plenty of tread??

I have not been having any trouble... having said that I would like to be ahead of the curve on ignition problems. This is my first diesel, so forgive me if my nomenclature is off. I just read some threads about timing and where to set it and at what RPM, etc,. I can work on my SBC all day; but...

She is DOA because of radio while waiting in the car. is there a safe way to give her 12volt a jump?

As you may have read in my recent thread, I have added an antenna mount to the rear driver side of my M1009 Blazer. The antenna whip needs to be tied forward; but I can't find an obvious tie out for the tie down cord. The bumper seems too far forward. Anyone know the "right" place or have a...

I had to move the antenna mount from the existing front location to the rear on my M1009 Blazer. The problem was that the rear did not have nutserts in place on this vehicle- I have seen other M1009 Blazers with both locations ready to accept the antenna mount. I looked around the web and found...

I have a 73 C20 pick-up (chevy, for those of you that don't habla), I was going to sell the truck; but am wondering if I can swap the rear springs straight across for the ones in my Blazer- any know, or try it yet? Ed

Bought one last week. I need to replace the Lunette Ring- Might be able to weld just the ring, where it was cut off to make room for a ball hitch. Also need a spare. The trailer now has two stock wheels, I would like to keep them that way. Are the military tread tires good for freeway miles...
