Looks like the corvette line in that thread should work. Thanks!

Hey guys, it's been awhile and my poor ol 1009 has been sitting. I charge batteries and try to run it occasionally but I dont take it for cruises around the lake anymore since I've had air in fuel issues and have gotten too busy. Long story short, I replaced the fuel pump and changed filter...

Posted from my mobile. Thought it didnt post but if it did get deleted I am confused as to why? I am not posting it for sale it this forum I am just asking for a ballpark price on what market value is. And I believe there is a thread active just a few down asking the same thing that has been...

Hey guys. I've been lurking for years after selling my 1008 to finance a move. Missed it tons and picked up a 1009 a couple years later. She has been awesome and I've done alot to and with her, but facing adult priorities with daily drivers and children means I'm thinking of selling. My 1009...

Hey guys, I've been lucky and have done the Dog head mod, but a 1008 I sold that had Doghead mod done had starter runaway and now I'm trying to prepare for it. I recently purchased a nice Mac plier/cutter set and it came with a cable cutter I will likely never use. Made me wonder what would...

I'll be the oddball. An old friend of mine got into the tire business, and set me up for a case of cold ones so he wasn't trying to sell me something for his sake. Told me about Falken Wildpeak A/T3W. Said his cousin got a set and they were great. I trusted him and got a set in 32/12.50/15 for...

If you are unable to tackle the job, I would contact a good local body shop. I have been a bodyman off and on for years, the rusty windshield pinch weld would not be a big deal unless it is so far gone it needs completely refabricated. I would guess pull the windshield, stripping wheel the pinch...

Thank goodness! Winter is a coming and I need to get the 1009 rolling. Still gotta get a block heater put in too. Thank you timarr and thank you again Ray!

Hey guys. Voltage regulator on drivers side alt decided 17-18 volts was a happy spot on me. Dont think it did any damage before i could limp it home keeping rpms low. Got a rebuild kit from Tow4, and rebuilt it last weekend. Im no electrical expert but the rebuild threads here helped me out. I...

I was just in this pickle a couple months ago. OE springs sagging, wanted to run 33s but thought they'd rub due to sagging. Contemplated heavily between a rough country 2.5" lift, or new stock replacement springs. Read a lot about bad rides on lifts.... I ended up up replacing all springs with...

Thanks for the response rusty stud. I have already had it on jack stands twice turning the wheel lock to lock.... A lot. I can't seem to lose the spongy dead spot in the middle and the soft brakes. I think there is something more going on here, but my inexperience with hydro boost systems might...

Hey guys, I am not familiar with the hydro boost system in general. I'm trying to learn about it, and how the power brakes and power steering work with each other. So I recently put a new steering gearbox in and did 2 alignments and spent a ton of time bleeding the air out of my PS system. I...

If youre wanting to run 33x10.50s I would suggest replacing your springs with stock height springs and all new bushings. I was considering a 2" lift but decided against it and am very happy. Running 33x12.50s and it still fits in my garage. If you want a touch more, add ORDs 1" zero rate blocks...

Cucvrus nailed it here! I'm a body man. I love all metal, especially on older vehicles that were built with real steel. But there's no denying in places you can't get to the back side of, glue is far superior for preventing future rust issues. That said I often use the 2 in combination, with...

Well i went at it, tightened a hose clamp that was my first suspect. Regained power steering and brakes. Seem to be about back to normal, ps fluid runs clear at rest while idling, however has slight aeration after running lock to lock. Is this normal, or is it still cleaning out some nooks and...

Bighorn, I shut it down around midnight last night frustrated. Will go out in a bit and see what I can see.

Ok guys, it's 11:30pm here, I've been wrenching since 7 and I have to get to bed for work early tomorrow. I just swapped out my steering gear box in the m1009. Old one had a big dead spot and was getting sketchy on the highway. Went pretty good with what I had to work with, all my good stuff is...

I'm gonna ruffle some feathers here, and that's ok with me. From what I've read of this thread we have a new member, and not only a new member but a 14 year old new member at that. This kid has done the almighty search and came up with an old thread that matched his vehicles symptoms and asked...

Well... Not today but I decided rather than buy a new daily driver truck I was going to build my m1009 to be my daily driver. Not only that, but drive from nw Iowa to central North Dakota for a hunting trip, in about 40 days (now 16). So far I've replaced all springs, shocks, steering...

I will look into "the right stuff". In the meantime I already have gaskets for both diffs and as I don't plan on redoing this job for awhile I'm just fine using them up. Any recommendation on the 80-90? I'm partial to high end oils, but sometimes I overthink it.... I'll need 5qt to do both, is...
