Back February, I acquired my M1009 from the Mounds, IL Police Dept via auction. Apparently the old police chief acquired a handful of military vehicles back in 2013/2014 with the intention of retrofitting them for police use, but that never happened, so they sat parked for 7-8 years. Flash to...

how many doll hairs did that set you back?

So would this be one to avoid? No mention of metal backing plate.... https://dashesdirect.com/product/1981-1991-gmc-vinyl-dash-pad/

if that works for you, more power to ya.

I want my dash black. Current one is light gray and way beyond repair. I wouldnt spend the money to repair it as it would cost as much as buying a new one.

was doing more googling and has anyone used USA1 parts? https://www.usa1industries.com/1981-87-fullsize-chevy-truck-custom-deluxe-vinyl-dash-pad-kit.html Seems a bit pricey compared to the other urethane dash's.

and where would i be able find a GM dash?

So i see basically 3 options for a replacement dash pad. 1: LMC - 38-8129-BL - https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-91-chevy-gmc/dash-components/cc-csb-1973-91-dash-pads - $409 (urethane) 2: Top Flight - GM82014 -...

Well, i suppose after a super great day, I was due for a bad one. I'm noticing that my turn signals are no longer working. I went ahead and replaced the flasher, and tried the turn signal, it flashed once, then died again. My headlights work fine, but turn signals and hazard lights dont...

Today, on the holiest of holy days, after 7 months and a Vermont registration later, I now have a straight clean Virginia title in hand for my baby. Only took another 3 hours from my life today at DMV, then the notary, then back to DMV but finally walked out with title in hand (plates coming in...

Kinda. I ended up hiring a young mechanic doing side work and paid him 100 bucks to swap my starter out - truck immediately turned over. Now that I'm all recovered from covid, I need to get my injector pump replaced, so was thinking of looking for someplace. i heard that Tactical Truck has...

Isn't that the cars and coffee thing they do up there?

Gents, Does anyone have experience with removing the injector pump? I'm looking for the "order of operations" in which to remove everything. I plan on taking plenty of pictures to aid me in reassembling when i get my rebuilt injector. I'm sure i could figure it out by just starting to...

thanks for your .02, but not what i was looking for here.

by the way, what's the sensor on the right rear head that you said controls the fast idle solenoid? might as well be ready to replace that as well...

For at least the last 20 years I've been using strictly Royal Purple (motor oil) in my vehicles and I would say it has served me well as I have never had a vehicle with an engine issue or even any that leaked oil. Even though it's ~10 bucks a qt, I've been impressed enough to stick with it. I...

They are NOT original parts. Only original ones i can find are used and probably the same condition as mine so wouldnt make much sense to replace bad with bad. This is what the description on one of those on ebay says. They are all from the same seller. "INTERCHANGES PERFECTLY WITH...

I think i will remove the pump and send it out to get rebuilt. Going to try to get it done in the next week or two.

I see that number for the fast idle solenoid is GM 14066255. And cant find it anywhere - probably not a big surprise to anyone. Anyone have any experience with these aftermarket solenoids from ebay? Says they're made in the US. A little pricey, but the seller must know we dont have many...

Definitely leaking near the throttle cable area. I can see drops drip down when running, but cant see exactly where they are coming from (without removing the intake manifold). That little cylinder with what i thought was the idle adjustment screw is bent a little and does not move freely in...
