You need to ask CrashAF about his M1009 with the light bar. He can give you all you need to know about that kind of setup. If I were mounting an exterior speaker up under the hood, I think the drivers side inner fender might be a place to consider. I can't answer the tire question, as I...

I've been considering this same swap. But I have a question. Would it be as easy to remove the pickup truck sheet metal off it's chassis and put the Blazer on it? It would give you a 'true' 5/4 ton Blazer. I'm not talking about trying to hack an M1008 up to make it if. I'm curious if it...

The paint is the stock color vinyl paint my auto paint store guy pulled from the spec sheet on the inside of the glove box. So it's factory original. Two spares? I don't know. Just because I'm anal? Or just because I don't want to worry about fixing a flat if I'm still on the road or on the...

Well, I've been working on several projects for my M1009. The first one was to get a new (yes NEW) dashpad from GM. DONE. Second one was to paint said new dashpad the correct color. DONE. Second part duex was to ALSO PAINT the side panels. DONE. Cut, weld and clean up my SECOND spare...

I hate to ask the obvious question, but which CUCV are we discussing. I have found that to be vital info. Sorry if I missed where you posted that info.

TM 9-2320-289-20p Section 18 Figure 18 is exploded diagram Page 18-1 has the parts listed If it is a two prong connector, then it is either the 'heater assembly, fuel' which is mounted on the top left hand side of the fuel filter base or the 'switch, pressure' which is mounted on the...

That plug is for one of the three sensors on the fuel filter assembly. One of them is for the 'water in fuel' light. I can't remember what the other two are, but there SHOULD be a male plug under the fuel filter assembly someplace. Just plug it back in.

Read this article from Diesel Power magazine - there are four pages for the full article... GM 6.2L Buildup - Diesel Power Magazine YOU CAN make this a better engine. But if you are looking to go above about 160 hp, then you will have to look for a different engine. The military went from...

My 1986 M1028a2 is currently wearing 235/85R/16's. Firestone Transforce AT's. They ride really well, fill the wheel wells an look pretty nice. No spacers.

tdfontaine, YES, that's it. I don't know how I messed that link up. I did edit my post above so it is NOW correct. We would LOVE to have you join the club. $30 a year.

tdfontaine, I'll add my welcome to the rest. Plus if you want to join an MV club, we have one here in Colorado. www.mvcconline.org is the website The club will be in Cripple Creek over the weekend of Aug 7 - 9 and up at Jeffco airport the weekend of Aug 27 - 29. I won't get to CC due to...

AJMB, Yes, from LMC Trucks. Like $39.95 for the insulation. The plastic pins are $1 a piece. I used 20 of them under the hood. But in looking at it, I should have used 22. ONE note. The hole in the middle of the hood on the supports IS NOT the correct size. So if you plan to put one there...

rj 67, Even if the cables LOOK good, if they are origninal, the insides could be very corroded. But that doesn't answer the discharge issue. Like was said, the ability to discharge one in a very short period of time means you have a SERIOUS problem somewhere. I would ALSO check under...

rj 67, I'm guessing mind you. But you MIGHT be having one of two problems. 1) Alt resistor could be bad? 2) How do the battery cables look? I recently replaced both alternators in my M1009 and then all the battery cables and MOST of my charging problems disappeared. This was after I...

Check you ground wire, up under the dash on the drivers side wall. It could make a difference.

Finally had some free time. So I decided I would do the under hood insulation today. Popped the hood and started. An hour later (I took a couple of breaks) I was done. I did take pix. The process went like this. I added FATMAT to all the spots on the hood that had bare metal showing, ie in...

Well, it turns out the last post was incorrect. Dieselsmoke bought the M1008 upper I had. BUT my buddy who took what we thought was a complete set returned it because it was NOT a complete set. What I now have are the following: 1) M1008 seat upper - 1 2) M1010 seat upper - 1 3)...

Go to a local sign making company. They NEED to have the ability to make plastic type sign covers. Explain you want the same thing they wrap whole cars in. My sign maker said it would cost about $350 - $400 to do both sides. I did not ask about the rear, though I'm sure it's doable. The...

WW, I am envious. The Ford Crown Vic Interceptor is my NEXT aquisiton. Gotta wait a while cause the wife is all over me about this last purchase. She does LIKE the truck. Just said 'No more out of state vehicles' to which I agreed. Fortunately, there's a lot that sells CVI's exclusively thats...

They can be purchased through Smittybilt for $99.99 per seat. I got mine at a '4 Wheel Parts Truckfest' and they cost me $74.99 each because of the show discount AND they threw in a 'GEAR hydration pack' for free. So to me it was a killer deal. G.E.A.R. seat covers I'll be taking...
