    time for a new starter. need some advice please.

    Is there a way by looking at it to see if mine is DD vs gear reduction ? I can post a pic of it if that helps. It's pretty large.

    time for a new starter. need some advice please.

    Oh dang. I didn't realize they tested starters as well. That's awesome. When it comes to brackets though. I thought there was a difference between military and civilian 6.2 ones. I've seen reviews on Amazon that say they fit. But I've researched on here and people always say to make sure you...

    time for a new starter. need some advice please.

    Ok. But how to test the current one that I'm fairly certain still works. Just bolt it up with new bolts after I pull out the broken one and give it a try ? Also since it's 12v is that the more common bracket ?

    time for a new starter. need some advice please.

    Finally got around to taking it off. Didn't see any shims. And didn't have assupport bracket. But it did move barely off center from the sheared bolt. Basically it was at maybe 5 degrees. It hit the oil pan and that stopped it. . . Thankfully the oil pan isn't leaking from that point and the one...

    time for a new starter. need some advice please.

    So I'm going to order one on amazon. And then after I install that one I will take this one somewhere to be rebuilt. Or are the stock ones loads better quality ? This one used to turn over the Blazer so fast and quiet.

    time for a new starter. need some advice please.

    Ok I got my m1009 a few years back. It was already converted to 12v. Fast forward to about 6 months ago. Some A hole tried to steal it and busted the steering column and killed the batteries and the starter started whining really bad. Thankfully the thieves didn't know to use the glow plug...

    Best solution for a steering column?

    Ok. Someone needs to sticky these pics I'm going to post. I couldn't find any pics of the difference between tilt and non tilt ignition switches. So this is a PSA for those that don't know and a whatever for reference for those that did know about it. 🙂👍🏻 Merry Christmas and here you go...

    Best solution for a steering column?

    I've read that as well. I will take another crack at it tomorrow. When I do have it hooked up to the white switch and the rod connected. At full back off it's at ACC one position on the switch. I've twisted the actuator rod to work to get it there. I will have to try out this move the switch...

    Best solution for a steering column?

    I had someone try to steal my CUCV. It had a tilt column in it and they shattered the column. I got a non tilt M1008 column and put it in and now the ignition actuator rod is the wrong size or length. Got a non tilt switch and it is setup to be a pull ignition and not a push like it should be...
