Question is in the title. Does anyone know the height of the M983A3 fifth wheel or the kingpin height on an M860?

Does anyone happen to know if the fuel tank needs to be removed to remove the rear bumper brackets on an M1009? I am thinking about making my own bumper but would need to remove all the original components. Thanks!:D

My GEN 1 light has finally started acting funny. I have the cluster apart so I can really get up close and look at the bulb. Usually it's very VERY dimly lit constantly (gen 1) when the vehicle is running (m1009). However lately I noticed the light has gotten brighter and brighter over the last...

Something I've noticed on my M1009 since I've owned it but never really figured out was whenever I get a belt for the drive alt (yes, with the correct part numbers found pinned here) it always requires me maxing out the tensions capabilities of the alternator bolt slot on the bracket, and it's...

Howdy all, I have been dealing with a fuel gauge problem for some time now and I have a bunch of details to share, so please hear me out. The problem: - Fuel gauge floats around, sometimes reading correctly, sometimes not, never pegged full or empty - Took cluster apart and removed all...

Hey all! I have a 85 M1009 that has a leaky hydroboost. I was wondering if ACDELCO 14PB4141 would work as a direct replacement? Thanks.

Hey all, got another one for ya. So in my M1009, the fuel needle very recently started reading inaccurate readings. The current situation is when the tank is full my gauge reads 3/4. It also goes to E properly when empty. Here is a small list of what I have done. -Cleaned ground by rear...

I put together a video of how to remove the inner fenders on my M1009 CUCV. Easy as pie. Hope this helps someone out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0LeYdaYS0k

I replaced the seals on my M1009 vent window. Hope this helps! Good luck! :naner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpqTOcmOmvI

I made a video to share with y'all on how I made this cheap winch mount for my CUCV. Hope it helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn1CD_sP-0c

Well, looks like there isn't much I can do about this transmission anymore. I've tried so hard to fix anything I could on it to stop the slipping/downshifting. I basically don't have 3rd gear. It'll go into it, but instantly loses it when I give it throttle. I have normal reverse though. I have...

Hey all, here's a juicy one. My M1009's trans likely isn't slipping since it still pulls, however when I am on the highway, or at least in 3rd gear, if you add any noticeable amount of throttle or start climbing a small hill, the engine revs way up, as though it kicked down to second. When you...

Hey all, I am planning to swap out the engine to my cucv (cummins 12V) but I am asking this question here because all I would like to know is which lines are high pressure and low pressure lines on the hydroboost AND power steering box? I need to figure out the plumping, but I could not find any...

Hey all. To those of you that have been around both the M1008 and M1009 can anyone vouch their opinion on whether the Blazer's bed rail strength is as good as the pickup? If one were to mount a ladder rack or some other bed rail utility item, can it hold as much as on a pickup? Some of those...

Howdy everyone, I know that swapping a NV4500 is pretty popular when going to manual on squarebodies, but let's take a moment to discuss the specifics on an overlooked topic. What exactly is the easiest way to get that clutch pedal into your truck? What did you buy? Can you keep the original GM...

I have a spare tailgate to replace my old rusted one, but the catch was that there's no key for the [great shape] crank assembly. My question is if it's possible to replace the cylinder (which I have) without the original key to that tailgate? Don't you have to twist it with the original key to...

Hey all, I have a question about swapping an M1009's TH400 to a 4L80E transmission mated to an np205 tcase. There were some writeups on this site on how the swap went, but nothing went too deep into the crossmember and transfer case support. I plan on swapping to a np205 when performing the...

Hey all, I wanted to ask this for myself and for the many others that are probably wondering the same thing. Some of us know that the m1009, or the K5 Blazer, does not have a very strong frame, especially near the power steering pump, where they are prone to crack. However, I am curious as to...

Hello folks, yet another question to add to this ever growing forum. I am sure this is not a new question, and I did look up this question online with varying levels of success, but I thought I would get a fresh set of opinions. When it rains I get water that comes in through the foot vents...

Hey all, so I know that there is a lot of talk about a legendary 4L80E swap. Something I have not been able to figure out is the shifter column. If one were to perform a swap like this, I know that you can usually get on ebay a shift indicator that has OD, D, 2, 1. But what about the steering...
