The three of us met up this morning and enjoyed a nice crisp fall road trip. Just about a 50 mile loop through some back roads of Long Island (not many left). Stopped for breakfast and to check out the Navy aircraft on display. Looks like this might become a regular thing. Anyone in the area...
Well like I said a week ago the truck is back on the road after over a year and a half. She is running great but now the little things are breaking. The first test ride caused the wheel cylinder to pop. Not easy stopping the truck with 36" tires and only front brakes. Tomorrow I will be...
I uncovered it a week ago from where it sat since March 2007. Been charging the batteries everyday for a few hours each @ 2amps. Put the trans. & T-Case up Sat. Hooked most everything up today after work. Turned it on, waited for the light to go out and cranked her over. About a second later the...
Most of the GM part #'s from my TM that I needed were good. Here are the ones that are no good while looking them up on GM Parts Direct. Anyone have the correct numbers so I can place my order?
359917 - Trans modulator
8623263 - Gov Gasket
140020854 - T-Case to Adapter Gasket
8626916 - Front...
I took a lot of pictures of what was on the GL lot when we picked up Spentshells Deuce on Friday. I will have his pictures & video up tomorrow. I took a pic of this truck because it just doesn't look familiar to me. What is it and what are the plates on the rims for? Thanks.
I won't steal his thunder but everything went smooth. I'll leave all the details for him. The best part was when Rich popped the clutch when the transporter was pulling him out of it's parking spot and the old girl fired right up. I took a lot of pictures and video. I'll have both posted soon. I...
I have been looking for a while to add a 2" receiver hitch on my Blazer. I finally found this one on eBay for the big sum of $10 new and $12 shipping. It fit perfectly under the pintail. I just have to hit the hardware store tomorrow for 2 longer bolts for the rear of the hitch. The rear bolts...
After months of talking about changing the flywheel and starter I finally have the time to do it. I'm pulling the tranny & transfer case because I'm going to detail the underside of the truck & fix some other things I don't like and so on. Well boy was I surprised when I pulled the starter. I...
When I was at Red Ball last week there were two M1009's in the parking lot with a radio mount I haven't seen before. It was bolted to the right side of the dash plate, came up straight to what looked like a ball mount then to a small shelf. Anyone have any idea what I'm describing? Thanks
A little over a week ago I mentioned that I lost a starter bolt. Well after replacing it all seemed fine for a day. Then every so often the starter was making a strange noise. It was getting worse but I was hoping it would hold up till the weekend. Well Friday after work I stopped at the 7-11...
I've had the player since Oct. and I finally figured out how I'm going to install it. Originally I was going to find a non-working Military radio, gut the insides, hinge the face and hide my player in it. Every Mil radio I found either looked trashed or was outrageously priced. I finally found a...
Was cleaning out my computer and came across a few picks I took the other month. I don't think I posted them here before. I was on my way to TN. from NY to pick up a trailer.
I bought a solid M116 & found where to get the canvas for it but could someone point me in the right direction on where to find a set of bows :?: . Thanks.
For the past 2 weeks my starter on the 1009 was sounding different. Being so cold out I was too lazy to go under the truck for just 15 seconds to look. If I did I would have seen the bolt falling out of my starter. Well yesterday morning the starter sounded like it was falling apart but did turn...
It was up to $22k with about a day left. Looks like the seller realized it wasn't going to fetch what he thought & backed out. Can't get much cleaner then this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300074242905&rd=1,1
