Hi all I know this is an old post but wanted to know if there are any gotcha's you'd like to relay? I'm planning on trying to replace the filter and fluid in my 1986 M1009 next spring. Have not done something like this since late 70's LOL
Hi All,
I'm hearing some kind of transmission noise when I start to take off but stops after I get moving. No shakes or anything though. I believe it's from the torque converter?
Have a few questions.
1. If it is the torque converter I'm really not going to hurt anything else right if I keep...
Hi All,
I'm going to be pulling a 14,000 capacity 2 axle trailer with gravel in it about 10 miles. Wanted to see how much weight others have pulled a short distance like this. We're in Central Indiana so won't be going over any hills at all. Don't plan on having it full by any means just looking...
Actually I have not changed it but now am planning to as soon as spring hits. When I bought it they replaced the gasket so it was replaced then. I'll keep it in 2 wheel drive unless we get 3 or more inches of snow. If I go in 4 wheel I'll be going under 30 MPH. The new BF Goodrich All Terran...
Hi again. Wanted to give an update then ask another question. Because of the weather in the Indy area I hired someone to replace the right hub. He did and it works well now. But here's my problem now. Right after he replaced it I drove in some snow in 4 WD High and didn't go more than about 45...
Thanks all. Just ordered this and a conversion kit in case i need it? Will be putting it on this Sunday.

cucvrus Thanks for the link. Since the passenger side axle was turning when I had the hub locked in when I turned the front drive shaft is there a chance its not bad or does it just need replaced? And if if I replace one side should I replace both at the same time?
I haven't taken it apart yet but was planning on having the parts in hand in case it needs replaced. Is there a difference between the K5 Blazer part and a normal blazer? I assume there is? I tried NAPA and LMC Truck Parts and they don't have the front hub. Any idea where I might find the parts...
Looks pretty simple? OK I'm sure it's not going to be quite as simple as it seems

Hi All, OK with the transmission in 2 H I locked both front hubs in. I then turned the front driveshaft. The passenger side hub by the wheel turned a lot when I turned the driveshaft. The drivers side started to turn but barley moved. So I assume that's telling me there is a problem with the...
