Seafoam is basically kerosene diluted in oil anyway. Oil, naptha, ipa, and carbon dioxide.

Thanks KevinsM1009 Looks like the previous owner was screwing around in the dash. Missing screws, loose...yadayada. I may replace the whole thing due to cracked cover, stripped holes, and whatnot. For now, I'll try your suggestions. Thank you What a mess. :)

Sorry, you're right...the 3 row is out of stock....I missed that. Today...I cut the **** parking brake cable. Will replace someday. Today my fuel gauge decided to stop working a few weeks after replacing the fuel sending unit. Had a 1/4 tank, put another $40 in it...didn't move. Shut it off for...

I bought a new all aluminum radiator here for my 1986 M1009: http://www.genesisautoparts.com/ Was around $175 shipped to my door. I put a post about it somewhere. Perfect fit

Today it was front brakes, bearings, seals. Rear brakes, rear drums. New Warn lockouts....driver side inner bearing was shot, have been driving with one side locked in, and one out. Gah. Money money money... so much work to do yet.

That looks nice! I was going to militarize the Suburban, but when I saw how much work I had on the 86, I decided it was a project for another year :)

Thanks! I wonder how upset my wife would be if I swapped the hood from her 91 Suburban....hmmm, she is leaving Friday for a 2 week vacation in Wisconsin.

I'm needing to replace my hood and tailgate on the 1986 M1009, and am wondering what years/models are interchangeable.K5, Suburban, just trying to find out my options. The hood is rusted through on the centerline, and the tailgate...well, it's shot. This one was truly saved from the scrap...

Took off the shorty glass packs the moron before me put on, and replaced with some full size mufflers. Neighbors are happy, cops are happy, and most importantly, I'm happy.

Replaced the fuel sending unit and and installed the tank, (used a 3 port since it's all I could find). Fired up the beast for the first time since since I got it. Man does it run strong. Now to replace the u-joints and road test it sometime this week. Next month replace the floor pans, hopefully.

If you end up needing a new rear AC unit, I pulled mine from the 91 Sub, and have it stored. I won't be reinstalling it, so it's available...shipping might be an issue. I still have the cover as well. I also have the front AC compressor, I removed it and installed a delete pulley. Everything...

What about C.L. Chase in Camp Douglas? He might be worth a shot if he is still in business. He had a lot of the older mil stuff at one time. I haven't been there in 15 yrs though, so I don't know. Here is his info: C L Chase W10416 County Road C Camp Douglas, WI 54618-9750 (608) 847-6555

Radiator shroud and cover from Hillbilly Wizard came in. Also included were the braces, rubber standoffs, and screws. It is in perfect condition. It came packed in a plywood box...I was impressed, there was no chance of it being damaged in transit. Radiator also came in...pretty pretty, oh so...
