    Re: RE: Sway Arm Size and rear Transfr seal? I DO NOT recommend that for the m1009, for the pickups its a great idea, but not the blazers.

    M881 help

    If the bearings are torqued to spec and you have too much free play, I'd take a look at the spindle to be sure that there are no burs that the bearing surface may catch on, do the same to the inside of the hub. That inner nut for the bearings should be at nowhere near 100ft/lbs. you wil kill a...

    Sway Arm Size and rear Transfr seal?

    You dont need to open up the case to change the rear seal. Yes the parts guy was right, use only ATF for that transfer case. As for the bushings ask for the parts from a 1984 K5 Blazer with the 6.2L (the suspension parts are the same as civilian ones)

    M1009 Straight Pipes?

    Dont do it, LOUD AS HELL!!!!!!! It will sound like a dragster when you step on it, lopey idle and all. Seriously you need some kind of muffler on these trucks, or a turbo (acts like a muffler)

    Sign up thread for the HASPIN RALLY - June 19-21 2008

    I agree, find out if they got hit by the floods. I'm picking up my deuce from Westech's house those days. If everything goes to plan, I will be driving it down to haspin with my buddy's m1009 in tow. I'm not for sure yet, depends on how everything is when we get going.

    Sway Arm Size and rear Transfr seal?

    do you have a m1009 or a m1008? that will make a big difference in the size bushing. The rear seal will be the same though, as both models used the mp208 transfer case.

    Smoke this...

    Thanks for the heads up chuck, always appreciated. I second the question regarding "excessive" i hate when its not quantifiable, thats leaving the guy/gal in the cruiser to make a judgement call on something. That call would be very different from lets say Grosse Pointe (old,rich area) to Macomb...

    A pop when I turn

    check the condition of the joints, and also double check that your new shock bolts are still tight. If those look good, put the front axle up on jack stands and try to wiggle the tire up and down/in and out. If the tire moves in those directions then you are going to need to do ball-joints in...

    Bad Alternator

    Re: RE: Bad Alternator Its a common thing with the cucv's, because its rare to have the two alternators have the exact same turn on points. Mine has done that since day one.

    CUCV Glow plug questions

    on the note about the spades beinge different sizes, why buy plugs that you will have to modify or modify your harness, when you dont have to? The wellman plugs arent much more expensive if at all than the gm glow plugs.
