These trucks truly are the exact same as any other 12 volt blazer or Chevy K series truck... Just tony the local junk yard n pull one out of a decent truck that's what I have done when I wanted tilt steering or whatever. It's just an 80's style diesel truck with a rigerized 12/24 mucked up...

Thank You Thank you , I had already checked the connections but I didn't clean them, but they look clean but I will go ahead and do that.

I have a doghead relay with the ROSCOMMON 24V to 12 V Conversion, everything has been fine but now in the last couple weeks when I go to turn the ignition on , it clicks like the starter solenoid is bad or the solenoid under the dash (Doghead Relay) is just clicking. If I continually click and...

Yeahhhh, I know all about the nose cones! Whatever man, just trying to stop a guy from going through all the time consuming crap of changing them Sta tees n having to change flex Plates. Them other 28MTS ARE ALWAYS GOID TO ME SND I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE NOT WORK

I loved how hard they spin but it's crazy how picky them starters are

I don't know about who is making them now, but all I know is that they work... N have life time warrenty n changing a starter is less a pain than changing a flex plate, and especially changing the flex plate multiple times cuz them crapy 27MT's continually tore up the flex plates. I even took...

I have even worked on these on the Rock Island Arsenal Military base with Guys from the "BEE HYVE" that is the mech. Shop where they rebuild military motors n injector pumps and also at the National guards mech. Shop I. Davenport Ia when they were still open. With military mechanics n they...

Whatever! I have worked on a ton of these trucks n they all do it!!! Yeah, the 27MT WORK GREAT, " when they work" but are way too picky about voltage drop n burning solenoids or sticking them HIW ever ya want to say it.... Don't want ya to get to picky on my wording 😂 I have to friends here...

Once it it's bad one time, the damage is done!!! PROMISE YA 😉 So, after ya replace the flywheel n use lock tight on the bolts cuz they will come loose, if ya don't. Then DON'T "EVER PUT THE STOCK 27MT ORIGINAL STATER BACK ON OR EVEN A NEW 27MT... I have and it's always a joke! But, with a...

I have had 5 of these trucks M1009's n. M1028 that I have had all the common starter problems that have been discussed on this sight!!! I have NEVER HAD GOID LUCK WITH THEVORIGINAL STARTERS... N once ya hear that nasty grinding when the sarters don't mesh right with the flywheel, ya might as...

So, it just hooks up to the number 1 fuel line? I am looking for one as well, and this co. Is right by my sisters house in Chicago. It looks pretty simple, that us for sure...

Well, I just kept it under 65 around 60 to 63 still the most on the ride back the other day... I got a trans. Cooler to install and I wasn't going to put it on the radiator, like the others are on the Blazers! I didn't mind going slower, it seems ta a big help driving these trucks compared to my...

Thanks to all you guys for your help and advice... Doghead, I am just going by the fact that my speedometer is 20 off in the truck that I say I was doing 100 in it. When I am doing 15 mph it is 35 mph, and at 65 it actually is going over 20 mph faster. I was doing 80 ta 90 on that trip home that...

Ok, So tim292stro, your saying that I should of had a locking torque converter in the trans. when it was just rebuilt? That will help keep the heat down??? Is this why when I run my M1009's at highway speeds, before I installed the transmision coolers they would spit fluid out when driving over...

People say don't go over a certain speed with the M1009 Blazers too, but shoot, I drove one of mine home from West Virginia to Davenport Ia. with a messed up speedo. I foundout later that I was doing 100 when I thought I was doing 80 and even that didn't hurt the Blazer. And, that was a wicked...

Oh, I kinda thought that you may have been doing that. I just need to put a tach on this machine, so I know exactly what the RPM is doing. Cuz, I don't want to wreck this nice truck...That is why I am searching for answers and advice, so thanks. But, I don't see where anyone has been able to...

People also always say "no long highway trips", but what is considered a long trip? 2.5 hours or 12 hours? To me 12 is long and 2.5 is short. Any help is welcome...

Doghead, ya lost me! You start of with saying 3,00 to 3,500 is fine with these motors. But, then you say drive the m1009 if going 60 mph, With the 410 gear and the 31 inch tire is supposed to be running 2,800 to 3,000. Is that bad or not/ I get confused with the opinions...

Also, ""no the 410's are not stock gears..... The M1028's had 456 gears, and now have 410 gearing so it should be not as bad on the thing. They always say you can go 50 to 55 on the highway. So, I would figure it would be alot better with the 410 gears?

VPed, thank you... I guess that would be and Idea!!! I will prolly just buy another set of tires slowly as I can, and have them mounted for trips if I need to take the truck. Then just change them if needed.... I also have 2 of the cucv Blazer's that i can use to go on highway trips.
