He has an m1008, they came with Dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear with a detroit locker and 4.56 gears. That combo is good for 37" tires easy. Our m1009's with 10 bolts; 33" is pushing it. Been there,done that. Just go easy on them. You can snap a 28 spline axle or shatter the gov loc carrier with...

That was along the Wood river east of Meeteetse Wyoming. It is beautiful. Lots of game and Grizzly out that way.

Just bought 2 gallons of Optilube winter from Dave's car parts. Our diesel is a blend of 75% #2 with 25% #1 diesel. It is the same blend we had last winter and never reached cloud point. Also a Thiel additive according to the delivery receipt. We've got 3,000 gallons of the stuff for the...

I've got the 33 10.5 15 B.F. Goodrich Mud terrain KM2's on 15x 8 rims on my 1976 K5 (essentially an m1009) at stock height. Had to trim the corners of the fenders about an inch to clear. Barely scuffs the inner fender well at full stuff offroad. Used them since last Fall. Very good in the...

I think they ship to your home address. Or a business address of someone you know or can get their approval. Oh, I see the confusion. At the lodge here we are on national forest land. Wyoming High Country Lodge to be exact. I am the maintenance manager, snow removal tech, mechanic, and lead egg...

I live and work at 9,000 in the national forest. It takes me an hour and 10 minutes in the summer to even get to Powell. Winter.. don't even ask. A 40 minute ride in the snowcat to a snowy parking lot at the end of the plowed road. From there it can take 2 hours to reach Powell. Anyhow, the...

I have a pair of original m1009 seats in very good condition. If you decide to go this route, let me know. You pay shipping and I'll give them to you. I can have them to ups by Thursday of next week, my next day off. Shipping from the UPS store in Powell Wyoming. Was gonna try and sell...

Your inbox is full again. But you have a deal! Let me know where to send the plates and how to pay for shipping. Thanks!

I thought about swapping the 12 bolt and dana 44 combo from my 76 into the m1009. That dana 44 is the highly desirable flat top knuckle version. It would be a shame to put it into the m1009 because I will never install a hi-steer kit. Someone else would kill to get this axle. But the more I...

Used my M1009 to establish our hunting camp up near the Montana border. My co-worker has an elk tag, I have a general deer tag. The M1009 ran so smooth today. Having less power than my 400 ci small block was actually a benefit over Sheep mountains rocky forest road. With the 400 the slightest...

Cucvrus your inbox is full. I am trying to return the pm but it says youve exceeded your inbox space. Let me know what you've got and how much.

With each glow plug taking 15 amps x 8 glow plugs that's 120 amps for a period of 20 seconds under arctic conditions. If that truck gets started and stopped a lot in arctic conditions, that is a lot of work for those batteries. I am not an electrical engineer. But I can see why they would use...

Thank you very much!

It's funny when people on this site say LMC trucks; I think of Logan Manufacturing Corp. Our big diesel snowcat is an LMC. Logan Manufacturing became part of Delorean Motors right about the time they built our snowcat.

The headlight upgrade. The po put this kit in. It uses the stock headlights to power solenoids in the box to send power from the front battery to the headlights. Also has a horn relay in there. Everything is fused and shrink tubed. Looks like a kit of some kind but have no idea whos kit. The...

Yep, this is what the previous owner of my m1009 did or had done. My starter is still 24 volt but my glow plugs are being run off the front battery. The original system used the resistor to drop 24 volts to 12 for the glow plug system so that both batteries were utlitzed. My resistor bank is...

I will measure the voltages and resistance of my system but Because I live up here at 9,000 feet and we get down to minus 30 degrees; I think I'll keep the system intact. Not sure if my glow plugs are still operating on 24 volt though. The previous owner did mention something about the glow...

Well, you have a clean specimen there. I just love the Blazers. Yours looks very well kept and the soft top is bonus. Very special to have that. I wonder if you have a cigarette lighter inside the center dash compartment or else why did someone add that auxiliary one. Flip that hatch open in the...

I am not sure where Barry, the previous owner of my m1009, got it but There is a badazz kit on my fender in a grey plastic box containing headlight relays(hi & low) and a horn relay. They work off the original wiring but have their own actual headlight connectors. A thick fused, positive supply...

The previous, Barry, installed headlight relays. Way better.
