Did you pull the tire off and check the status OF the rotor and pads? Did you check to see if the brake pad 'warning tab' is not starting to touch metal in an odd circumstance? Metal on metal is pretty touch to track down. And is it a deep sound, like a heavy piece against another heavy...

OK, you can get a new fuel filter base off of ebay for like $73 shipped to me. I NEED just the fuel heater. I broke the one pulling it out of my old backing plate. SO, does anyone have the NAPA numbers for the fuel filter heater and the water in fuel sensor. I have the Stanadyne numbers...

You are the SECOND person who has made that suggestion to me. I'll do it. What's a few extra quarts in comparison to a rebuild? Thx. I'll let you know what happened.

Thanks for the 'type f' tip. I CAN get it. Right around the corner. It was cheap. I'll go back and buy several. If I'm going to run these trucks, I might as well get the correct fluid in them. I had to have the M1028A2 tranny rebuilt last year. I don't remember what fluid they put in it...

OK, Ive done a lot searching and reading on the TH400 and what happens to it with age. Mine is an excellent example. My b1985 M1009 Blazer has a little over 66k miles on it. I bought it with 58k miles on it about four years ago. About the only thing I've had to do is replace the tires and...

OK, I thought I might have installed the tranny fluid pickup in backwards when I put the filter in. So I pulled the pan again. I found that I had put it in backwards. But I resolved that. Then put the filter back in. But before I buttoned it back up, I pulled the modulator and then pulled...

It's still there. But it seems that I do have a rotten piece of vacuum hose up top. And I have heard that the steel part of the lines can get 'cruddy'. So I'll let them soak 24/48 hours and then reinstall. Might have been a bum vacuum line all along. I'll let you know tomorrow when I have...

You might need a new fuel filter bracket. You can get them on Ebay for like $70 + s/h and they include a new filter and the bracket. Bolts right up and hooks right up and cured my similar starting ills. If you do have an air leak at the fuel filter base, it could allow the fuel that is in the...

OK, I'm going to pull and clean ALL the vacuum lines. And the vacuum electrical piece on the front of the manifold. What is it's name?

OK, I seem to be doing something incorrect. According to the -34 to replace the modulator, you basically loosen the bolt, remove the retainer plate and swap in the new modulator. That went just fine. But I'm apparently INSTALLING the modulator, because now I can shift into reverse just...

My paint guy pulled that info directly off of my glove box codes. It IS the correct paint and looks perfect. But hey, I'm prejudiced. I did the paint work myself. And it cost me less than $100 total for the first set of dash/door panels. But that included the sprayer setup. My next set of...

Absolutely. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/56523-m1009-interior-door-panels-atlanta-area-2.html#post654182 this link will give you the CORRECT GM CODE to take to an auto body paint company/person. It's the correct vinyl paint color for the dash and the panels...

Once you get back, find yourself a set of the Smittybilt GEAR set covers. Several color choices are available. And they NOW have a tailgate cover and a overhead console. Both of which are new and now I'm going to have to look into them. I'm in the process of designing one of my M1009's...

This IS one of the reasons I love collecting these trucks. ONE KEY on my key ring opens and runs all of my trucks. ALL OF THEM. I like the black topped key also. It's my favorite one in fact. I have that on both sets of my keys, which are identical. That way if I do actually lose one...

MG, First and foremost, I'd like to apologize to you for anything I've said. I've just had a really bad day and took it out on you. MY APOLOGIES. And no, I don't have any info. As I said. This is an emissions test. I did not take my truck some place and just put it on a dyno for...

MG, You want to bring YOUR DYNO TO DENVER AND PROVE MY GUY WRONG? Be my guest. Otherwise, stick it back where it belongs and grow up. Kindly note that the very FIRST THING I SAID WAS 'IT'S NOT ABOUT THE NUMBERS'. Then you proceed with FIVE POSTS out of seventeen telling my how wrong my...

T, The numbers from my first M1009 are the same two years in a row. And are consistent with a couple of the other M1009's in our club. I just asked about the dually numbers this year. And no, my dyno operator is older than I AM and has been doing this for more than thirty years. So he knows...

Yeah, but you need to understand that I request it and then waited a month. NO SF-97 email, nothing. So I call back and have to resubmit my request. As they didn't charge me the first time, no biggie. And I already have an M1009, so it was no big deal waiting for the SF-97. But then, I...

edgebar, I've got a buddy that would probably be interested in the non-green one. Contact me at whiterivr at msn dot com if you want to sell any of them. I do know a guy in Kentucky that might want it. They are sweet looking for sure.

I ONLY use LMC trucks. But they deliver from the time I place an order to delivery has always been less than a week, generally three days. That's IF the part is in stock. Some of their parts fits are 'questionable' but when you are getting your parts through CHINA, which is where a lot of...
