That may be the problem. On my truck Bracket 11 in the figure is on the pump but isn't being used. Bracket 9 is facing upwards as shown in the photo above. Bolt 7 was never installed since I've had the truck.
What the heck?
The bracket in the picture is down way too low to be associated with the power steering. In fact you can see the power steering bracket in the left side of the puicture. The bracket I'm seeing is way down by the motor mount.
It just keeps getting worse. The bolt did not back out- it broke. I drilled it out easily without removing the pump. I had a couple bolts that fit the hole so no problem there.
The bracket is cracked... AGAIN. This time it cracked at the center slotted adjustment hole. Right now only one...
Does anyone know what this bracket is?
It's down in front of the left motor mount- has a curved slot in it. Hard to see clearly in the picture, but it's inside the white circle.
Well, it has nothing to do with the blower whatsoever. I checked both alternator belts and they're tight, but on a whim I poked the PS belt and it was loose as a goose. Seems the outboard-most bolt unscrewed itself and departed the fix. The washer was still laying on the frame rail oddly...
Are you talking about the air filter and assembly, or the snorkel hose that runs to the firewall?
The air filter and the assembly that holds it in place is absolutely necessary.
The snorkel is not. It is on the civilian vehicles primarily to quiet the sucking sound that the engine creates...
This morning I drove the M1009 to work like always, only today I was getting a lot of belt squeal, and eventually the belt was squealing all the time. In the parking lot I tried a few things and it seems to be isolated to the heater blower. When it's on, the voltmeter is just into the low...
Hi Norm,
This is the riser I'm using: https://www.etrailer.com/Pintle_Hitch/B_and_W/BWPMHD14005.html
This is the pintle hook: https://www.etrailer.com/Pintle_Hitch/Tow_Ready/63014.html
If you follow the hood release cable on the driver's side kick panel to the firewall there ~should~ be a black plastic cap about the size of a half-dollar just below it. Pull that out and a rubber plug should remain.
Now find the other side of that rubber plug in the engine compartment. It...
CARC in the engine compartment sorta says it was a M1009 at one time. Looks like a wrecking yard buy that was made drivable (I can't really use the word 'restored'). I can't tell from the picture but if there's a diagnostic plug under the dash that would also be a good indicator. EDIT to add...
