So a few days ago I noticed that the the volt meter on my M1009 was indicating about a needle width into the yellow band. I checked the voltage at the batteries, and sure enough the voltage at the forward battery was at 12.4 volts, with the alternator at the driver's side indicating the same...

I'm thinking its glow plug related, or electrical in some other way. I watched it yesterday and it died when the GP kicked back on after start. Today I waited about 15 seconds after the wait light went out and had no issues.

What about an air leak in the fuel system? The reason I say that is that it fires right up no problem, runs for a second, then sputters and dies if I don't give it gas, but only on the first start of the day after sitting overnight. i haven't noticed any indication of a fuel leak though. Is...

Nope, normal diesel with the occasional tank of commercially sold biodiesel. What page in the TM covers working the IP? I looked for it, but can't find anything that references it.

I suspect that my injector pump is on its last legs. Here's what I have experienced: --An overall lack of power (I know the 6.2 is a dog, but we're talking unable to accelerate from 35-40 on a reasonable hill) --Poor fuel mileage (~12mpg) --Hard starts when cold (cold is a relative term in...

Well, here's a kick in the teeth-- saw the jeep that hit me driving through my neighborhood today. Sad to see the vehicle that had to get carried off on a wrecker back in action before my blazer is back. Does NOT make me happy one bit.

I understand what you're saying, but I am not lying when I say my M1009 is the nicest one I've ever come across, and that was BEFORE I did all my upgrades to it!

UPDATE: As of today, I still don't have my Blazer back. My experience with LMC has been very poor, and is the main reason I still don't have my Blazer. The first fender they sent was for an S-10 Blazer. The second was so badly dented and mis-shapen that it could not be used. The third was...

This isn't the worst rental vs original I've had either, and I think I've got you beat. So my GTO was in the shop getting fixed-- they gave me an 02 Malibu. Talk about getting hosed. I trade in an AWESOME car, and get something craptacular in return.

It's small and cramped, and the ergonomics in the driver's seat are awful. It's got no power (not that the M1009 is a rocket, but at least that's expected). It looks a lot bigger than it feels. It's that beige/tan color of failure that only soccer moms and losers drive. I think the thing I...

my parents actually have '02 and '10 Tahoes. I really like them, and have considered getting a late 90s early 00s Tahoe as a road trip vehicle. It's no tank like the M1009, but it's comfortable and practical.

So my M1009 is in the shop getting fixed. While it's in the shop, State Farm says they'll get me a rental that's "pretty close" to the Blazer. I'm now driving a Jeep Patriot. I hate this thing with the fire of a thousand suns. This thing sucks out loud, and is an insult to even imply that...

Take it from a guy who's gotten a speeding ticket in an M1009-- anything is possible if you put your mind to it

It's a Ram Charger. You can tell by the shape of the shell, and more telling, if you pause the video at 1:02 you can see the tall tail lights that are indicative of the Dodge. I really don't care what he drives, I hope they kill the POS.

Despite the dollar value of what I have invested in the vehicle, I really don't want to get anything else, because there's not much that can replace the capability of my M1009, at least not anything near that price point.

I haven't talked to the other guy's insurance company today, but he's with State Farm, so it's a lot better than if I had been hit by some idiot with some shady insurance company.

Well, I certainly won't take "totaled" for an answer unless they offer me something ridiculous for the truck in the neighborhood of $6000, since that's close to what I have in it plus a bit for my trouble. It WILL get fixed, I like this truck FAR too much to not get it fixed.

i found the bumper, i'll let them find the quarter panel... they get the easy one. I just want it done right

I can only demand so much, but keep in mind I'm trying to keep them from totaling it.

I already kind of spilled the beans in another thread, but here's the story SO THERE I WAS....... It was about 730 in the morning, the wife and I are getting ready for work, and we hear a decent crash from the front of the house. The wife goes and looks out the window, and tells me that...
