Ive been running top off and like it. I now rigged up a 1 ton chain fall and a big grommet sling in my shop so i can take off and store and reinstall all by myself. I would also like to get some tube doors and install a small motor cycle mirror on the driver side door to accomadate local law. In...
Thats great. My wife wouldnt ride with me in the M1008 but now i got the M1009 she likes it.
She acually took it and drove it around a few times without my permission:) She wont let me put the top back on.
I thought there was a thread about this but i cant find it. If it was me when i got my new m1009 home,
-I changed all the Fluids filters
-check the starter support bracket make sure its there
-Dog head relay mod
-check and lube front wheel bearings
-Check harmonic balancer is in good cond...
Keep us posted mines doing the same thing i looked over it slightly and didnt see anything out the ordinary. Mine just started to thump under the driver side floor pan when i slow down to 15 mph or less. It doesnt do it always only 25% of the time. I will check my mounts real good when i get time.
Check the 24v glow plug resistor on the firewall in the engine bay then check the relay gen-2 by the starter relay then do a search on buuzzing sound if this doesnt help. good luck
some one else may chime in with a better answer
Thanks for the Info i plan on changing mine very soon and been reading a few threads on this. how long did it take you too chnge 2-3hrs? iv never done one before. Im about to order the same parts now from oreilys im also going to change the crankshaft oil seal i seem to have a small leak.
Check out RAPCO paint you can get 383 green/brown carc substitute paint and 911 flat black in a rattle can or gal. for a spray gun. Iam about to paint my Cucv and i have a M101 trailer on the way. Also do a search on here and they may have more options and pictures.
Good luck
heres a pic of mine my freind had installed it on the truck before i got it The oil line was expensive $150 braided S.S. heres a pic of were i put the boost gauge the one with the white face. the rear battery box had to be removed to fit the turbo in place. I never seen over 6 Psi and that was...
I got the same turbo on my m1008 it would only pull about 5-6 psi but it was plently of power.
i had the pump turned up 1/4 and didnt experiance any black smoke are abnormal effects.
Good luck with your build i seen a thread on here that has step by step how to do if needed.
Thanks guys. I think i will just trace the original pattern with the rapco carc subsitute rattle cans. I just want to fresh it up a little bit. If it turns out like crap i will lay a green base coat and paint as per the TM-43-0209 with a proper spray gun. i was just looking for a few opinions...
I got some Rapco paint carc subsitute and plan on repainting my blazer and just wanted a few opinions on the pattern. Should i just keep the pattern on my truck like it is or try to put the Proper pattern on? I would like to have the new pattern but think the one i have now would be easier to do...

I beleive thats the temp sensor on the driver side rear block that your talking about. but he has it in a push button so it shouldnt matter. I have mine bypassed on a push button i give it some glow when i first start it and thats it. I can let it sit for 3-4 hrs in this hot weather and it will...
$150-$200 is that for both rebuilt? I paid $60 for 1 and $80 for the other to be rebuilt.
i think it was a good price considering there like $200 a piece brand new.
the Turbo is awsome my 2 trucks are night and day compared in power it was pushing around 5-8 psi boost. its already installed on the truck and i dont feel like jumping into that project. My stock blazer does what i need it to do. i dont really need that extra truck hanging around.....or DO I :-)
I had that problem before it would start and idle no problem go down the road a few miles and it would completly shut off no warning. i would open the bleeder valve and it would suck air.
so i dropped the tank cleaned the sock on the fuel sending unit and it fixed my problem. the clogged sending...
