    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    How wonderful, honest, and true are these words that Tony has chosen so well. I would like to echo these words wholeheartedly. Right now, we are not interested in the project or the repair tip. Right now, we would all like to say clearly: We miss you and we are thinking of you, because you as a...

    How to get an Allen key between the starter ring gear to measure the distance - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    Hello, Thank you for this information. Can you name one or two shops for me? I can't find any that offer these “heads” or individual parts for the starters. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong terms on Google? Best regards Elektroman99

    How to get an Allen key between the starter ring gear to measure the distance - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    Unfortunately, the previous owner had not installed the third bracket on his starter (already a copy of an original military GM starter). After cleaning the engine and finding that the third bracket was missing, the starter motor was loose after 6–10 starts. After being advised to check the...

    How to get an Allen key between the starter ring gear to measure the distance - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    I have the problem that the starter motor no longer fits exactly and it is pure coincidence when the teeth engage correctly. I assume that the bolt holes in the starter motor have been worn out due to use without a 3-bolt bracket and no longer fit properly. My engine wash probably loosened so...

    How to get an Allen key between the starter ring gear to measure the distance - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    The screw that is supposed to hold the transmission lines is already missing. That was a question I couldn't even ask at the moment. If the holes are slightly "egg-shaped", is there a way to repair it without changing the whole starter motor? Can anyone provide a source of supply for the...

    How to get an Allen key between the starter ring gear to measure the distance - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    I have new screws here, but I haven't used them yet. I also have the additional bracket here and have realised that the screw on the engine block has only been screwed in. OK... I now have the problem that when I use the old screws, the starter motor wobbles as described. This means that if I...

    How to get an Allen key between the starter ring gear to measure the distance - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    The protection is this metal cover sitting in front of it, right? How many screws are there (in total) and is there anything to consider when dismantling - and later reassembling? Why I want to do the check... well... the starter motor wobbles when I tighten it. This means that when I tighten...

    How to get an Allen key between the starter ring gear to measure the distance - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    Dear Steel Soldier Community, I have a very serious comprehension problem. In this thread I had discussed a starter motor that was constantly coming loose and we quickly found out that the rear fixation was simply not fitted and the starter motor is only fixed to the two strong bolts directly...

    Blanking plug standard - original - radiator - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    I had hoped that I had already explained this. What have I got now? I have a warning light that comes on when the engine is already overheated. I wanted to take the general temperature at the radiator, because this is where the engine sends the hot water to cool down. As there don't seem to be...

    Blanking plug standard - original - radiator - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    I have already thought about installing a sensor adapter in the radiator inlet. Then, even if I want to sell it later, I will only need a replacement hose. Does anyone know in which TM a part number of the radiator inlet hose and / or its inner diameter can be found?

    Complete refilling of the cooling water, tips, tricks and points to watch out for with the 6.2 Detroit Diesel - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    Of course, there is not just ‘black and white’ in Germany either. Not everything is always observed. But as a rule, in Central Europe the radiator water is run with antifreeze. OK... Thanks for your answers

    Blanking plug standard - original - radiator - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    @cucvrus Thank you for your tip and the answer OK, I don't want to push the M1009 to its performance limit. I just want an additional display that shows me the general engine temperature via the cooling water. The ‘warning devices’ installed as standard in the M1009 are ‘simply written’ too few...

    Complete refilling of the cooling water, tips, tricks and points to watch out for with the 6.2 Detroit Diesel - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    @CARC686 Thank you for the tip, yes here in Europe (Germany) I am not allowed to let the cooling water exchange seep into the ground.
