Ok, I know there are many threads about M1009s and what they can and can not tow. What I want to know and what I have not been able to find, is what is the towing capacity of an M1009 with 3/4 ton axles?
I have a set of Corporate 3/4 tons (10 bolt front 14 bolt rear, 3.73 gear) out of a 79 K20...
I just found this thread. Panzerwillie, would you be willing to share some part numbers, brand names, model names and website info for where you got all your A/C equipment? Particularly the in-cab A/C unit, the condenser, and the compressor. I am brainstorming about A/C in my M1009 and am trying...
Hasdrubal is correct about the difficulty one would have in sourcing 25+ year old GM parts in Ukraine. I have had the pleasure of working in eastern Europe many times and experienced vehement frustration in sourcing things we find common in the U.S.
Take his advice and look online for a...
That looks like a proper set up! A/C and turbo with intact 24V system are what so many cucv owners seem to want in their trucks. I know I do. I'm planning on installing a Banks turbo which utilizes the passenger side of the engine bay. I have been wondering how I could fit the turbo, 2...
Will an '88 top fit an M1009? Yes, yes it will.
This one needs new seals, and I need to order window locks from LMC, but otherwise its awesome. Tinted windows and the ability to open those windows plus tilt in the air vent window are nice upgrades that my 6 year old who rides in the back truly...
I replaced the starter with the gear reduction one that I had. I have ordered the bracket that it needs. I have started the truck a number of times and took it for a test drive, and have not experienced any issues.
I know the starter needs a bracket or I risk snapping the starter bolts...
I have a brand new starter that came on the parts truck I have. The seller told me it had 3 starts on it. I don't know about that, but it sure looks shiny and new. It is a gear reduction starter, the kind they have on ebay. In fact it has a glaring little sticker on it that says "made in China"...

Recent Tahoe, Yukon, Silverado etc. models use a center console/ fold up jump seat. I would post a link to a picture, but I don't think you can post fleabay links here. Take a look on the 'bay. You will probably have to drill holes to accommodate the bracket, and may have to modify the bracket...
Okay, I'm in the -20 troubleshooting section. "high pitched whine" after startup. The TM has led me to Section II, 4-5, starter replacement.
I'm going to remove the starter and read up on how to test it/ find out whats wrong. I still do not understand how it, or what exactly happened, but I...
I had planned on posting pictures, but I ran into another problem. I replaced the fusible links on the 12V terminal block. I checked continuity, and checked for voltage at the block. All was good, so I started the truck. I let it run for a while and nothing happened. I started it twice more with...
I was able to find 12 gauge fusible link at a local NAPA. It comes in a 10 ft roll and is NAPA part #785856.
I'll humbly admit that prior to this experience, I did not know what the fusible link looked like. I had read about them and understood their function, but had never burned one or had...

That fusible link has a tear in its coating and the copper underneath is white/ burned. I'll replace it and check the rest of the links for similar damage.
I was able to stop into O'reilly's and found their fusible links. They had 16 gauge and 14 gauge. Are these too small replace the 12 gauge...
I'm currently searching. I've read the fusible links wiki, which is informative, but I'm still a little unclear about them. They are stored inside of a black rubber barrel right? How do I check to see if one is burnt? These rubber barrels don't seem to open unless they are cut. Am I missing...
So, I changed out my belts today. Thanks to searching on here, I was able to do the power steering belt with out much issue. I then reconnected the batteries to start the truck and check my work. I was concerned I didn't put enough tension on the belts so I wanted to see/ hear them run. Turns...
I would be interested in buying the brackets to fit an 08 bumper onto an 09. Could you share with us what that would cost? surely shipping would be more reasonable for something that size.
