    m1028 Trailer Wiring help

    Are the plugs for the military plugs still behind the bumper. There should be 2 connectors. They are called weather pack connectors. That is what I make my adapter tie into for the taillight signal.

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    I wasn't looking to start an argument. I just knew some would more than likely go off about the size of load and they did. I don't know the legal weight. I'm on back roads and taking it slow when I am this heavy. It still has drum brakes in the rear. Like I said I was just trying to point...

    Gmcpauls.com is where I got mine. I had to disassemble it to rebuild it properly. They fit good and tight like they should. Brent

    Is a dual radiator cooling fan really that helpful ??

    Also some of the stuff lmc sells is cheaply built. I don't know about this particular item but just letting you know from my experience buying stuff.

    Is a dual radiator cooling fan really that helpful ??

    The best way to do it is get a shroud and clutch fan. I tried a dual fan setup and it didn't run any cooler. Also I had problems with the relays burning up because of the current load. I switched back to a clutch fan and like it better.

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    I have never been anything more then helpful here in my posts or just sharing pics. I didn't call anyone specific names. Just that it seems like when people don't go exactly with the flow some of you get up tight. I didn't mean anything personal towards anyone. I guess this is why I don't...

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    I'm not using a bumper hitch. I used a slide in receiver. I have had zero problems stopping. Like I said i have everything new on this truck and trailer as far as brakes. It's fine if you don't like what I do. Most of the time I am around 16k with everything. Sometimes you have to do with...

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    Get off your high horse. I'm not saying everyone should do what I do. Just pointing out that it will haul more then most of you think. I'm in rural iowa not in the big city. I am defensive driver. I have done more to and know more them most of you about these trucks. This site has helped...

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    Once the suburban is done the Blazer won't be towing nearly as much. It will be doing mostly plowing. When I read someone asking about towing with one of these the usual response is 2000 pounds. I just wanted to point out it can and will take more. It must be maintained. I went through the...

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    I understand the worry about the short wheel base but I have less problems with that using the blazer than I did my 3/4 suburban, but part of that is in the shocks. I put magnum hd shocks on because I knew I was going to use it to haul. I have been pulling this trailer for 8 years thousands of...

    M1008 overdrive ?

    4l60e is electronically controlled. The 4l60 is mechanically controlled like a 700r4 but I believe has changes internally. If I was doing a Cummins swap later I would run the 4l80e. They are strong stock and can be beefed up more. Brent

    Upgrading a CUCV's max towing capacity?

    I pulled my trailer and went over the scale at 22500 with my 3/4 suburban. That is a 4000 lbs trailer, 6000 lbs suburban. That's 12500 lbs on the trailer. I know my turbo m1008 will pull more than that. Drive reasonably and have good trailer brakes. Brent

    Lope at idle

    I disagree. On the low side it can pull air in. I have had it happen on power steering return lines as well. I didn't get it anywhere other than pump. This isn't my first rodeo. Bottom line is it shouldn't lope. It is probably getting air in the system somewhere. Brent

    Lope at idle

    It is probably sucking air some where. My uncles is doing the same thing. We sprayed a little ether around the injection pump and it idled up. So his is sucking air at the pump. Brent

    How to check IP?

    How to check IP?

    Sometimes the solenoid goes bad on the pump. If you are getting power it should be opening. If you take off the top of the pump and hook power to it. It should move. It must be grounded though. I had a pump go bad that wouldn't run at all also. Brent
