I think that to properly service the brakes on this old of a vehicle. You should pull the front and rear axles and replace the axle seals and bearings while you are in there. Also at the inexpensive cost of the wheel cylinders and hardware kit. Replace them also. Many of the older vehicles have...

Upon further inspection. I see that both the rear cross members are the same in the M1009. I have 2 removed and ready to ship. I done the hard part and cut them out of the frame. The ones on the box are the ones I want to ship you. $50. for the pair + shipping. I have them ready to go. PM me if...

So what's so scary about drilling holes in the body? Unless you are going to drill thru both panels and put in a reinforcement panel on the body. I would advise against drilling and mounting to the body. I have installed these back in the day. I seen a kit that would mount on the right rear...

That was line set numbers for assembly purposes. At the time that was how GM did that. Now they have bar codes to scan each part during the assembly process. We used to use the same numbers on our assembly line but now we have upgraded to hand held scanners and PC's at each work station to...

For $36. I would recycle the old one. And I would buy the new one.

I am back n the shop. I have the next 4 days to get things squared away in my garage so I can work again. I have a big tree to cut down and a few Honda lawn tractors to get into shape for the season. But during the next 4 days I hope to have the heads back on the 6.2 CUCV engine. Bonus points...

Do you have good strong charged batteries? Are all the connections tight on the relay on the firewall? Everything in the picture appears good. But where is the smoke coming from?

Check your fuses again. And wiggle the bulb in the circuit board. I think I would check the glow plugs also. Make sure you are getting power to the bottom side of the relay on the firewall when you have the button pushed. Good Luck. Report back.

26" weld to weld. 29 1/2" center to center on the yoke. But I think you should be good to go. I hope that helped. I had one made for a spare. Cuts down on the down time when plowing or wheeling. I don't believe all that crap about the 10 bolts being junk. I have used them hard and had great luck...

Well with a slip joint that sure will vary. I will measure weld to weld on the rear prop shaft and then we can go from there. But I can measure the rear U joint center to front U joint center if you want. I will post pretty pictures of my new propeller shaft. Give me till this evening. I am not...

I have the new propeller shaft on my work bench. Do you need a weld to weld measurement?

That is very nice. But you are showing a rear drive shaft in the first post. I just had one rear propeller shaft made for an M1009 all parts new. It was about $200.

Anybody know a trick to get stale sun burnt tape off of a rubber window seal? I have a friend that called me over. He painted a Blazer top and left the tape on over the winter. The side that was in the dark came right off. The side that the sun hit all winter. Not so good. The tape ain't coming...

Let me know when it gets a bit closer. I can drop off a load of wood for the campfire. I know a couple other guys mentioned staying over on Friday. Get ready. Thank you for the update. Looking forward to some fun.

The last day with the plows on for this season. Our new plow truck What a deal. This is the future. Not our plow truck yet but will be what I have to pick from in 10 years. Oh yea. I wanted to show you a nice auxiliary-transmission cooler install. The instructions said. Mount cooler in front of...

Would not drive with the old M1009 wheels on a newer Silverado/Sierra 1/2 ton . The steering will be limited. The wheels will not be able to turn all the way with out hitting the fenders. Unless it is lifted or hacked up.

1992 V5 Blazer has the off set wheels. 1991 was the last year for the K5 Blazer. Your 1992 had a completely different suspension and axle system then the 1973-1991 K5 Blazer. The wheels would fit but turning would not be possible and the wheels would be very far under the truck in the rear also.

I would not change the fuel filter until you get it started. You are just adding more issues to the problem. I would pull the glow plugs check them or change them. if you smell diesel and are getting smoke. You are getting fuel. Now all you need is heat to ignite it. Or a small whiff of ether to...

Double check with a wheel shop. I know trailer tires are not to used on the vehicle and if I remember correctly. Trailer wheels have a different rating. Just to be safe. I would check with Jackmen wheel. But older Chevrolet trucks from the 50's had 16" wheels on them. I ran a set of them on an...
