    Valve Covers leaking

    Mine were leaking. Undid all the bolts and they were basically loose. They were also deformed. Cleaned everything up and used rtv. They still leak. How do I straighten out the flanges or what's a reputable source for new ones? Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

    Did I just fry my glowplug card

    Seems my resistor failed. 25.98 volts at the glow plug relay. Probably toasted a few plugs too. Sad panda if the card is toast, it's a new one just over a year old. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

    Unfamiliar Coolant

    My work closed down one of their repair shops. I happened to be there that day. They gave me 5 gallons of this stuff. Can I mix it with normal green coolant? Going to be doing a flush soon for a clogged heater core. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

    Electric Water Temp Sensor

    Have had an electric temp sensor in place of the glow plug temp sensor on the back of the driver side head for the past 5 years at least. It's been fairly accurate, 180-190s after extended driving. Past few days it's suddenly reading low,not going over 140* ever. Temp goes down to low 100s any...

    Alternator Squeal

    Driving me crazy. My first Alaskan winter. When it started to get cold the alts started to squeal slightly, and Gen2 would stay lit when turning the truck on. A small throttle bump and both would go away. As it got colder the squeal and Gen2 stayed on longer until now only the squeal goes away...

    Alternator Issue

    Lots of alternator posts from what I can see. Going to add my own. Had a whine coming from one of the alts, couldn't tell which so decided to rebuild both. Rebuilt passenger Alt, no issues. Rebuilt driver alt, whine now appears at higher rpms and output voltage does a yo-yo from 9v to around...

    Electric Gremlins (No Power)

    I am attempting to return my m1009 to stock wiring (for the most part), with regards to the GP and starting wiring. I am having some issues. What I had and what I've done so far: PO put a 6.5 IP in. It recently died. Got a rebuilt 6.2 IP from Badger Diesel. The 6.5 IP was drawing power from...

    Humvee Runflats

    Just pulled these out of the rims I bought. If there a market for these or does the trashman get 4 presents? They're brand new, 8 years ago. Looks like the wheels were never mounted, just sat in a warehouse. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    M1009 Tailgate Seal

    I seem to be missing a seal on my tailgate for the access panel on the inside. I'm getting water leaking in during rain, might be because of this. #5 on the attached picture but it says suburban. But sure looks like a blazer tailgate. There is no seperate section for blazer tail gates that I...

    24v-12v Transformer

    As part of my winterization (for Alaska) I want to get away from using the front battery only for my 12v source. I have the resistor delete set up right now. I read the CUCV-II's use a step down transformer instead of the resistor. I found an old thread with a link to this...

    CUCV in Alaska

    So I just found out I'm getting sent to Alaska, most likely towards the end of this year. I want to get ahead of the game and prep my m1009 for the cold. I found Jatonka's grille cover, going to get that. Plug in block heater, shouldn't be too hard to install. But is there a specific one I...

    Fuel Filter Glow Plug

    Having moved to a colder climate I am thinking of adding a glow plug to my spin-on fuel filter mod. I have the napa 4770 base with 2 free ports aside from the inlet/outlet. 1. I'm seeing 'normal start' glow plugs and 'fast start' glow plugs. What's the difference? 2. Can I splice in the glow...

    Fuel Gauge 12v

    I am getting no power to the 12v pin on the back of the fuel gauge. Coincidentally the parking brake light is fed by the same circuit so that doesn't work either. No voltage at the corresponding pin on the pigtail either. I lose the wire in the pigtail bundle but assuming it goes to the fuse...

    Starter Issues

    Let me try to get my whole history in here before you guys tear me apart. :drool: About 2 months ago my batteries started going bad, not able to hold a charge. Just out of warranty, go figure. Truck would struggle a little to start. I was also poor at the time, money was tight, couldn't make...

    Heater Vent Control

    Took apart my dash and found a loose mechanical vent control push wire behind the heater control. Does anyone have a picture of how this is supposed to look? I think I’m missing a part. I’m finding only the electric connections in the TMs In the second pic I am holding the push wire Sent...

    Flat Towing & Registration

    Not sure if this is even the right forum but here goes: I am relocating from California to Texas in a few months. My M1009 is a little too wide to fit the standard uHaul car carrier trailer. I have my M1009 set up to be flat towed with the medium tow bar. It’s registration is due around the...
