My insurance company refused to believe the VIN; they insisted the VIN I'd submitted to them was wrong. I finally had to send them a picture of the actual VIN tag I took through the windshield. When my agent retired and I was assigned to a new agent, I had to go through the whole process all...

I'm no expert so don't quote me, but I recall reading in here somewhere that the military got S10 Blazer seats in the M1009. You might be off the track completely.

I was speaking of using the air horn function, not the siren tones. Siren tones = trubba.

Check craigslist using the search terms 'federal signal' or 'whelen' and look for an old cop siren. I have a model with two 100 watt outputs and let me tell you, people soil their seats when I touch that thing off, more so now that it's windows-down weather.

I don't know if its the warm weather or what, but I've noticed the engine in my 09 is running smoother and quieter, and seems to have a bit more power lately. :beer:

If you're doing the seals around the top, here's a cheater: Classic Parts. Here are the four seals: 01-817 (1976-91) Blazer - Body Side Seal - Le1 $29.95 01-818 (1976-91) Blazer - Body Side Seal - Ri1 $29.95 01-813 (1976-91) Blazer - Upper...

After my panic stop on Monday I've noticed a very slight squeak in the brakes when rolling at low speeds, and since it was time to rotate the tires I figured it was a good time to have a look at the brakes. They're all getting to the replace-me point, but I didn't see anything out of the...

I haven't noticed any cracking, but then I also know a little about torques and such, so I didn't smoke them down so hard the fiberglass would break either.

Oh! Sorry, I thought you were putting it over the cab. I installed a rack on my hard-top that I got from ProLine Racks. The 58" length is perfect for the cap. There are three thru-bolts at each end which line up great with the three steps on the inside of the cap. Look inside at the top of your...

Yes, there is a little space between the sheet metal on the cab roof. Why would you use a false gutter kit when you have a real gutter already?

Today I did my first panic stop in the M1009. I was cruising smooth at 60MPH in the left traffic lane, with an additional HOV lane to my left. The cars in my lane came to a stop right where the HOV lane merges with the left lane (I guess people couldn't figure out how to merge so everyone...

Rolled mine over. It's like it's new again!

I have four 8' sticks of new aircraft seat track. I'm hoping to mount some 1' sections in the bed and under the seat to provide tie-down points for different boxes= sort of a modular set-up. Off-road recovery gear in a box, around town gear in a box, etc. I'm just not sure I can access the...

"REACH zero two seven seven, company traffic two-o-clock and level, caution wake turbulence."

It's a somewhat lengthy description for a relatively short process. I started by stripping everything out of the bar and cleaning it up good. I painted the top OD green. Then I took a hacksaw blade and carefully cut the very top of the reflector cups off (it has three notches to accept the...

Mine does- I think that's normal. When I got the truck and did the first oil change I greased up the tie rods- the grease chased a little rusty water out. The steering still feels tight, so I'm dragging my feet on swapping them out. I reassembled the steering stabilizer with a light coating...

I modded a Whelen Edge lightbar for mine. I modified the reflector cups to accept some 35 watt HIDs. Here's the set-up: Six forward facing 35 watt HIDs Two 55 watt halogen bulbs in the angled reflectors Two 55 watt alley lights The entire front of the bar has clear lenses To the rear, I have...

Swapped the steering stabilizer out for a new one; no drama. I'm wondering if I need new tie-rod ends, one has a torn grease boot and they all seem to have more play than I think is good (but I'm no expert).

So it sounds like the 40 amp fuse is perfect then. It'll allow the lights at ~38 amps, but blow above 40. I tested them out this morning on my drive to work and they're some kind of bright, just pointed much too low. I'll run them intermittently until I get the proper solenoid.
