I know we've seen that in the bottom of our bulk tanks when water and algae are present. A little HEET and algecide(sp?) and it will clear out. That black stuff will take out the newer diesel IPs, not sure how it will affect these older ones.

My m1009 has 69k on the drive train & 33k on the engine, and I'm getting 20mpg. The Blaze is stock except for some better flowing mufflers. I drive about 36 miles round trip to work, the first 5 miles has about 15 stop lights and I average 65-70 mph on the last 13 miles. Don't know if it's the...

Welcome to the site. There is SO much good info here and even more good folks!

Sorry to hear that you're done with it. The engine swap Really is easier than one might think. I did it with hand tools, engine stand and engine crane. It was my first ever swap, still have all my digits, most of my hair and the M1009 is still running great. Good luck with which ever way you go!!

I've been there right with you!! The last time, the screw driver stuck perfectly in my tool box lid. I've never been so glad that something I threw didn't bounce!!!:oops:

Have you load tested both batteries? Mine started to do that before the rear battery died. I originally thought the starter or starter relays were dying.

That's the same as my M1009. I looked all over that area for a locking screw only to find it was a "spring clip" back in the last slot to the left. Glad you found it quicker than I did!

I did the exterior of my M416 in a "sand" from Durabak. Had it on about a year now. I really need to get some pics posted.

That's my plan. To coat the interior with Durabak OD green bedliner. Might cut some noice and provide a slip resistant flooring to boot.

Ain't that the truth of it!!

LMC, Brothers etc.... any place that has mid 80's chevy parts. There have been some threads where they aren't a true custom fit in the sense that they just drop in. Some trimming is required.

WOW!! Who would have thunk that! Thanks for the update, just one more thing to check on during the trouble shooting phase.

Any updates??

All it really takes is a press and release during the wait cycle. As Barrman wrote, it cuts off when the coolant reaches 95 degrees. I do this every time I starts, lets me know when the engine has warmed up.

During the start up "Wait" cycle do you press the throttle peddle to the floor? The solenoid has enough strength to hold the throttle open, but not enough to get it there on it's own.

THAT IS NIIIICE!!! Looks like one could extend those two bars and then bolt it to the brush guard. How's the availability of the pioneer racks??

I found my original "fast idle solenoid" not functioning, but someone had adjusted it to ALWAYS hold the throttle on high. After cleaning all the contacts on the circuit and adjusting it back off, it worked fine. If it isn't getting voltage, it shouldn't be holding the throttle open. Apply a...

Welcome from SouthEast Texas! I make over to Canyon Lake a couple of times each year, if you need anything relocated from this area to yours, all you got to do is holler.

That might take a while. I went toward the CUCV's because I don't like electronics, but we'll see if I can get something up.
