I haven't had any trouble here in Washington with two vehicles. On my M1009 I have two 100 watt outputs connected to two speakers, one on the lightbar and one on the grille. My Jeep WK has two 100 watt outputs to two speakers, both on the push bar.

I won't believe it until I see it.

Pretty cool setup. I wonder if you could just weld that thing on and leave it there. Or maybe weld on some sort of bracket to make the tightening easier...

Might be helpful if you mention what the outside air temp was when this occurred.

If you're doing the seals around the top, here's a cheater: Classic Parts. Here are the four seals: 01-817 (1976-91) Blazer - Body Side Seal - Le1 $29.95 01-818 (1976-91) Blazer - Body Side Seal - Ri1 $29.95 01-813 (1976-91) Blazer - Upper Header Seal -1 $34.95 01-814 (1976-91) Blazer - Upper...

All chains are a pain to put on- some are a little less so. The Laclede Alpine sport chains are probably the easiest to put on.

I made some interesting discoveries while tracking down snow chains for my M1009. The costco ones suck. They use a big rubber band to tension the chains on the wheel. That big rubber band requires feats of superhuman strength to install. The chains listed for 31x10.5-15 barely fit, making...

I don't *think* the mounting plate provides a ground if that's what you're wondering. I know the relay is grounded through the wire because there's a similar relay that grounds through its mount- the one Doghead listed does not. Of course, it should be pretty easy to check your connections...

That's how I did mine except I fill the connectors with solder. Overkill but it keeps the moisture out.

This is the easiest way to power your lights. There are other ways to wire it, but this uses the least number of wires, relays, cutting into other wires, etc. NOTE that the switch in this configuration will always be hot. This means that even if the truck isn’t running the lights will come on...

I read something in another forum, posted by a guy in the fuel distro business. He advises that regular diesels should not use the high-speed pumps because the filtering that’s present in the regular diesel pumps at the fuel islands is absent in the high-speed pumps the truckers use. Man, I...

I wonder if that SWAT team got rid of it because they picked up a free Stryker from the military.

Try parking it nose down. If it runs ok after having been parked nose down, it's probably the filter body. Replace it with prejudice.

I just saw an ad on craigslist locally for a camper (civilian) K5 blazer. Seriously, a stand-inside camper that goes in place of the topper on the back. Not too long ago I saw a guy selling a NOS back panel that turns a K5 into a pickup truck- it seals off the passenger compartment from the...

Whelen 295HFSW1 has two 100 watt outputs, so I have one speaker over the lightbar and one on the grille. Don't use the siren tones, no matter how tempting that may be. The PA function is kind of funny sometimes. "Put the phone down!"

I had the pleasure of another locked brake incident today. Driving westbound I90 with the traffic moving about 50 MPH. The left lane is exit only to I5 south and always backs up. Today it was stopped as usual. The car ahead of me got in the left lane and stopped at the end of the line. I...

Went out after work to get in my daily driver M1009... wait.... what? Dang. Left the headlights on! They were on for six straight hours. Key in, wait light.... VAROOM! The starter didn't even sound slow. I might need to wire in a timer though...

I don't know what any of that is, but it looks WAY cool.

The engine doesn’t lack power- it has all the power it’s supposed to have. The truck weighs almost three tons in standard form (base vehicle, driver, gear, etc) so don’t expect it to shove you back in the seat. Performance is adequate, nothing more. The M1009 isn’t a performer out of the box- if...
