Hey guys, I've spent countless hours on here (searched every page that I got a hit on) and countless hours on the web, and still have uncertainty. If you've seen my build thread, you'll know I just Herculined the M1009, and now it is time for Vinyl in the passenger area. (I do not need to do...

Hey SS, The last week and a half my Oh9 will sometimes/often die during deceleration. If I am coming to a stop sign and apply the brakes, I watch my rpms just drop all the way, so I have gotten very good at throwing it into neutral, which will keep idle, make the stop then drop it back into...

Hey Guys, Ok, new project. Adding a 55w reverse light from another MV. I would like to wire it so that it has a dedicated switch, but can only be energized while in reverse. So do I need a relay for this, or do they make a switch I am unaware of that has a built in "energizer/relay"? Just to...

Hey SS, Ever since I got my truck it never had the GP Resistor on it. I just ran across this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/56714-cucv-diesel-swap-2.html and now wondering how it is working? And if it is ok the way it is. This mod was done by the SeaBees. Can not having this...

Hey SS, especially the Sparkys out there, I have a few extra batteries laying around that I would like to run in parallel to the main ones. I am not fluent in DC. Will the 2 100amp alts charge all 4? From my research, I am not certain. I searched here and still not certain...

Hey SS, I was installing a license plate light and while tapping into the Brown wire for the tail lights my crimpers arced on the bumper and now no power to the wire. I checked the fuse at the block, and it is good. So I thought I blew an inline fuse. I traced power-or lack of- all the way...

Hey guys, I have the 24 bolt HMMWV rims, the ones with paired bolts (the heavy duty of the 2 24 bolt versions) and can not find the torque specs any where on SS or the web. Tried TWF and everywhere else. I found the specs for 12 bolt, but not mine. I also know that you re-torque...

Hey SS, I forged a river last weekend, and on the way back my WATER IN FUEL light started blinking then stayed on. I could not repair that night due to circumstances, so I added the rest of my Stanadyne bottle to it, (for lubrication). The following day on the way home, with the light still...

Hey guys, I just picked up another M1009 Blazer, and it came with a spare motor. The seller is an Army LT. and stated that the spare motor is a 6.2 from a 91 H1 that is multi-fuel. Can you confirm this from these photos? The motor is at our shop right, but a sticker on the valve cover has...

Hey guys, Just picked up my 2nd M1009. It needs an IP, T-Case, and rear driveshaft. 49k miles. Needs some body work-dents on doors, tailgate, etc. Had a NP242 t-case in the bed though... The dash is taken apart, along with the intake and IP, but that will actually make it easier for me to do...

Hey SS, My 6.2 starts up and humms a good song, but sometimes when I put it under load, it starts being REAL LOUD. it sounds like a dang Peterbuilt idling. CLACK-CLACK-CLACK-CLACK-CLACK It's not as if a piston is flying around or anything, but, idk, timing??? I can shut her down and...

Ok, I read all the Gen 1 threads. But I need some clarification. My Gen 1 light stays on. My heater usually makes the fuse blow. I checked grounds, must be a shorted blower motor like in the other thread. I bought two rebuild kits from ASP, rebuilt the alternators today. I get 23/24 from...

Hey SS, I am running 2 fuse blocks (the Blue Sea ones here Amazon.com: 5026 ST Blade Fuse Block w/ Cover: Sports & Outdoors) One will be powered all the time but the other one is the one in question. I want to have it be turned on by ignition. I will be running 4 gauge wire from the battery...

Hey SS, I noticed most M1009s have TP/35 or TP/40. Mine had TP/45. It was a SeeBea, Port Hueneme, CA. Did the military change the TP paint whenever tires were changed and painted accordingly, or was the vehicle intended to carry more weight? )Probably not w/ a Blazer, but...) Ideas...

Just picked up my new wheels and tires. HMMWV BFG Baja T/As 37/12.5/16.5 4 on 12 bolt HMMWV rims w/ runflat/beadlock and 4 on 24 bolt HMMWV rims w/ Bulletproof runflat/beadlock. I still have to get the M1028 to do the axle swap on my OH9. So for now they sit :-( Here's some pics. Enjoy...

Hi All, I ask b/c, as you know, I just picked up a M1009 with the 10 bolts, 6.2 diesel, and t400. I will be swapping the d60/14B w/4.56s gov-lock & L/S from a M1028 when I save a little green. But until then, I have the M1009 on 37 HMMWV tires, and it will see the southern california desert...
