I have a 1984 M1009, and have done the Doghead relay modification. The starter will not turn. When I turn the key the starter relay begins to make a rattling sound. I tried replacing the relay and it made no difference. From what I have read this may be due to bad batteries. A week ago I took my...

I was reading the GM 6.2 Diesel service manual and they state a method of fixing the rear main seal without having to remove the crankshaft. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and had success?

I have a 1984 M1009. I have to replace the water pump plate, because the old one is rtv ed on to the old pump and I can't get it off. The manual says the part number is 14024208, and I bought one with this number and for some reason not all of the holes line up. All the ones I'm seeing online...

So I recently purchased a water pump off Amazon that was presented as a GM pump. It was not the case. The part number on it is US5008. It turns out this pump is from a company from US Motor Works. I have never heard of this company before. Does anyone know anything about it? Should I return this...

I'm looking for a new power steering pump for my 84 M1009. Anyone have any suggestions on manufactures, know if their rebuild-able, or where I could find a factory one?

Nevermind

I got lazy and let a mechanic install a new oil pan on my 1984 M1009 Blazer. The pan is a Spectra GMP40A oil pan. I gave the mechanic 2 gallons of oil to fill it up with when he was done. When I came to pick it up he said I may need to put a little more oil in, because the dipstick was showing...

I have a 1984 M1009 Blazer. I had some trouble using the gm part numbers from the tm to find replacement parts for the oil pan and U joints, so I figured I would just ask. Will the spectra GMP40A oil pan fit my blazer and are the stock U-joints on the drive shafts Spicer 1310 U-Joints?

Today I was at Napa Auto Parts shopping for a block heater to help start the 6.2 up on those below 0 days. The kind that you insert into where a freeze plug is. They had the option of either a steel bodied or aluminum bodied block heater. There was only a four dollar price difference between the...

These are just two simple tricks that I picked up owning the M1009 that I figured might help some of the new guys (especially if they are as mechanically inexperienced as I was when I first bought the Blazer). This first one will probably have the older guys rolling their eyes, but for young...

I have a 1984 M1009. My water pump has started leaking and I am trying to find a replacement pump. From what I have read it seems most people have had pretty bad luck with the after market pumps sold by all the big parts stores like Autozone, Napa, and O'rielly's. Have any of you guys used any...

I have a 1984 M1009. My mechanical fuel pump went bad this morning. Unfortunate the only pumps Orielly's had in stock were Precision, which I would not have bought normally. However I need my truck to get to work tomorrow morning. I pulled the old one and bolted in the new precision pump. When I...

I have a 1984 M1009. I was changing the U-joint on the driver side of the front axle. When I put the axle shaft back into the axle I could no longer get it to spin when I turned the drive shaft. The TM simply says to re-install the shaft. Is there some sort of procedure to putting the axle shaft...

I have a 1984 M1009. I really need to change my wheel bearings. The 1984s have that 6 lug spindle nut in it and I can't seem to find the right tool. I picked up a 6 lug socket, part number W1270, from O'Rielly's, however from what I can tell it's too big. I also looked up the tool listed in the...

Hey guys, I have a 1984 M1009. How can I tell if I need to replace just the wheel bearing or the entire hub assembly? If I do replace the whole assembly, is the Timken assembly at Autozone any good? Thanks.

I have a 1984 M1009. A week ago I decided to switch out my brake pads. I noticed for the front brakes the caliper never fully released. I then proceeded to change the calipers. Once I did that there was no difference, the calipers were still sticking. Some employee at Autozone said that it could...

So I decided to fix my leaky oil pan on my 1984 M1009. I looked under the vehicle to make sure it was coming from the oil pan and I noticed fresh coolant dripping off the front lip of the pan. At first I thought the coolant could be coming from the water pump, but the drip is on the other side...

Ignore this

Hey guys I have a 1984 M1009. I've been doing a lot of deep water crossings and am getting a little concerned those stock diff breathers just aren't tall enough. They just look like some vacuum tubing to me with a small filter fitting on top. I was going to get some hose and extend them higher...
