I have bought a viper alarm / remote start system and was thinking of adding it to my Blazer. Has anyone here does this yet? Looks easy enough but you never know.
Thankyou for the advice and help. No longer tired.
I picked it back up for 1700.00, took a lot to get it started, mostly due to bad batteries. I jumped it with my ford diesel and used 2 batteries on one. It fired up and I drove it home. I got it restarted yesterday but it was hard again. So I...
Sorry I can post in the for sale section and don't know why. I have a 51 Or a 53 I cant remember M37 it is in need of a total restoration but mostly there. Many NOS parts around to include a artic heater and a forging kit. There are papers for the truck. Its in SO cal. and can roll around. has...
I am searching and getting different info so I will ask here.
My 86 1009 with 41k on it starts up in the morning runs for a few seconds and sputters and dies. I crank it over for a few seconds or more and it will fire up but run rough for about 15 seconds like it is surging. once I blow the...
Last week my 86 m1009 started and when i gave it fuel to turn off the alternator light it died. It took 30 seconds to restart and it was good.. it has done this 3 times in a row. only in the morning about 60* out. I also noticed the charging gauge seems to be talking longer to hit the green...
Lately it seem the colder it gets the harder it is to turn the key. today it was 2* and it took two hands to turn it. I have a new key and ignition but don't know how to remove it.
Well i went on a 200 mile trip today. and about 85 miles from home one of the new wrangler tires blew and rolled off the rim. WTH? It was very windy and i was all over the road. It must have had a leak and went down and due to the wind i did not feel it until the blazer started to slow down...
Here is a project that started with part buying and ended with lots of money spent and no restoration. it has the PTO out put and levers. bumper is somewhere but no winch.
I was at the bombing range today and they delivered 4 m1009's to be used as targets. They look new outside but not inside. really good shape over all. I requested to remove some parts before they are destroyed. new goodyears, for sure. I will need to get some junk tires so they can roll. So...
We have a big bombing range where i work. We have 100 new and busted up tanks for the 60's we found 5 with less than 5 hours on the meter. 14 of them came from storage after getting total rebuild. the rest are problem tanks. all of them will get shot up as targets. I was thinking of posting some...
I found a 14 bolt FF 8 lug rear end. The guy wants 100$ he said it is in good condition and has a 3:78?? something like that. Does this sound like a good deal?
I don't need it but the price sounds good.
Is there a lot of things to modify to put this in? I understand the gearing will need to...
I have read about every lift thread on the site. I am still not sure on some things.
Does the m1009 use 1/2 ton springs?
If not what spring?
I read that some say to use the 1 ton spring. Or do they need the 3/4 ton? Are they the same as in size?
Are the 1009 springs the same as the civi...
I have sent multiple e mail to multiple vender's. Anyone know of a person business who sells vinyl lettering . My cucv needs it. I know there are 3 people mentioned on this site. None of them reply to my e mails.
m1009 build thread.
First off I Have to thank Rocks512 for coming to the base and getting me through the base and loading the cucv. 6.5 hours later I am home. It fires right up, lights work. I have not drove it fast enough to see if it shifts. I am missing a window crank, drivers glass, maybe...
