    M1009 Tailgate Latch Repair?

    your pinion gear on the regulator is broken and has been modified. Instead of a nut and bolt, the back of it had what would resemble a fat wing nut. this fat wingnut is the mirror image of the clutch. I believe a new regulator (maunul regulator not electric, they are different) is what will be...

    gauge cluster conversion question

    Got the led's today (thanks to the ss member who posted the led's, can't find the thread to name the person) I installed them in the cluster and tested them with the battery. I can not install the cluster until I get my wiper switch and install it (the column is still torn apart) hopefully this...

    gauge cluster conversion question

    I got the fuel gauge and installed it today, since it goes where the clock is the post are not there and so I had to cut the back out for it to fit and to run the wires. It does mount into the lower left corner of the civy cluster. I also cut the cluster plug from the cucv today and labled all...

    M1009 Blazer upholstery

    I installed the vynil floor, it fits ok. there are some bumps in it around the seat mounts because the seat mounts do not line up. Do not try to heat it with a heat gun. it will make it warp and shrink. I tried this in one spot and it does not help. get a good propane fan heater and keep it...

    Any way to tighten M1009 mirror?

    for the vent window seal replacement you have to drillout the rivet on the hinge and it will come apart. You can buy a new rivet for the vent assembly from lmc. I have purchased the seal and the rivet but have not replaced them yet. I read on thread here that the seals are a little big and...

    gauge cluster conversion question

    The LMC tachs only show up on line not in catalogs yet. Attached is a picture of mine with the wiring, you need to bend the tabs over or cut the back of the housing out. If you cut the back of the housing you will also have to cut the circuit board and that is something I did not want to do...

    gauge cluster conversion question

    did some work on the cluster today, just trying to prevent the shifter tab from breaking in the future. The wire had already cut almost half way through the plastic tab. I cut a flared copper lug to put around the tab and then JB welded it in place and built up the rest of the plastic also...

    My 4l80E install in my 1009, current progress

    At this time I am not saying it is a bad unit because I got a bad one out of the box. I will say the people at TCI need some talking to and maybe a few lashings would help. I hope to have the unit back by the end of this week so I can re-install it and then see how well it opperates. Once i...

    6.2 Fan Clutch Hydraulic connection

    good info, i am not familiar with hummers, I guess the problem with using this is how would you mount it and is there enough room between the block and radiator for this. I am guessing it did not mount to the engine in a hummer.

    Overhead shelf from LMC

    Not sure what you mean by not a long term solution. It will hold my CB, Scanner, and stereo unit plus extra storage. The only thing you do not get with the shelf is visor mounts that are any good. This I was able to fix. I still need to clean up the mods by painting the scres, putting...

    6.2 Fan Clutch Hydraulic connection

    if it is hydraulic it would run of the power steering pump. have never seen a hydraulic clutch for the radiator fan. I could be a hydraulic clutch for a remote mounted trans cooler that runs off of the fluid going to the cooler. I have never seen one of these on a 6.2 or any auto. just on...

    factory tach install will it work?

    I just received this from LMC, it is a new item. It matches good, the black is a little darker most likely due to age of other gages. It was $129 and needs something to drive it. I am using a Dakato digital ds1 module. I have installed it in the cluster but not into the truck yet. I am...

    Overhead shelf from LMC

    Determination After much deliberation and thought, I decided I could fix it. I used some #8 all-thread, #8 nylon lock nuts, #10 body nuts, small piece of wood,drill, grinder, dremel with cut off blade. I am going to take my visors to the apholstry shop to have 3 inches cut off of the bottom...

    I used several layers of heat shrink, my mirrors stay where it put them now.

    Overhead shelf from LMC

    does not look like the last attachment is working, it is a video showing how easy and how much the visors will shake and bounce. Sorry if it is not viewable

    Overhead shelf from LMC

    I installed the shelf today, It was easy to install and every thing was great until I installed the sunvisors. What they dont tell you is that the new location of the sunvisor mount requires that you fold the visors up toward the windshield instead of toward the back of the vehicle. Thus the...

    1997 MP Suburban

    I always thought the 3/4 ton axles on suburbans were 12bolts, one tons were 14bolts and 1/2 tons were 10 bolts. They did make 8 and 6 lug 12 bolts. I almost bought 8 lug 12 bolts for my 1009 until I realized they were not the one ton axles. I had the salvage yard remove them and thats when I...

    M1009 Tailgate Latch Repair?

    That bolt is on the inner handle assembly and not on the regulator. the inner assembly and outer assembly are completely seperate because the glass slides up and down between them. I think your best option is to go ahead and take yours appart so that you know what you are working with. If you...
