Dear gentleman,
I do not know the technical term, for this reason I try to describe it.
I am looking for a kit or spare parts to "better" seal the rear wheel wells.
I have K5 M1009 6.2 l diesel and on mine the rear wheel wells are relatively open to the front and to the rear.
To test the 4 WD...

Tires and air pressure
According to my vehicle registration, I have the following tires on the Blazer:
"31 x 10.5 R15 LT"
In the TM "1979 CHEVROLET LIGHT DUTY TRUCK SERVICE MANUAL.pdf" I found tables describing the air pressure of the tires, but somehow I can't get it to work. I have my tire...
I think having a sheet metal bent and then painting it will be cheaper, I also have not been able to find one yet.
I unfortunately do not have the tank bracket (US) - so the round - yet. But I think that this metal trapezoid is under de holder, because the space between the wheel well and rear...
Hello,
does anyone know a source or a store to get this bracket? It is the trapezoidal plate under the canister holder on the left side rear in the M1009.
Best regards

The service and repair Bible to the Chevrolet Blazer. I was a bit surprised myself, as I had already forgotten about the Ebay International order from early March 2023.
Yes, of course... I had been gathering all sorts of digital versions of the repair descriptions in...
Has anyone who uses an M1009 or any other vehicle in this range and from the years of manufacture really not used a dust cap on the headlights?
Is this simply not intended or are there real reasons not to use them at all?
Really?
:unsure:
Thank you very much, that's exactly what it was.
Now a question... pro active I had gotten me an extra grease gun for grease nipple lubrication.
Now I read mostly "Filler Plug" and "Drain Plug", which would mean that you - for example - the differential should always change completely. So "old...
My plan is to use such adapter connections at the front of the radiator, because there is space and the sensors are protected once again.
Here is a picture of a sensor adapter from a self-built block. Here the user has cut the hoses and provided the sensor block with newly crimped hoses, that I...
I did not want to change the vehicle orginal sensors.
I want to attach the additional sensors at the transition from hose metal thread to aluminum socket on the radiator. The reason is that I can not "squeeze" hose sockets, as is the case in the M1009 with the oil lines everywhere and therefore...
That's right, those are the two connections I'm talking about. I want to put an adapter between the hard line - where the vent line comes off of - and the hose connection (crimped connection) - think it's a B-18 hose end - to install the sensors named above.
I would need to know the thread type...
Mmhhh, maybe I expressed myself wrong.
Yes, it may be that they are civilian and retrofitted windows. They are - please see the photos in the first post. I didn't want to do a complete replacement of the windows as the first step in solving the problem, although it is certainly an expedient...
Next step and again the questions pile up...

Dear Steel Soldier Community,
I know that some equip their headlights with an internal cover. This is to prevent small animals - that are attracted to the light - from getting into the headlight or dirt and water.
This is called a "headlight cap", "rubber cap" or "dust cap" for headlights. I...
Hello Steel Soldier Community,
I hope for your help. I know that in the TM the different lubrications are described via grease fittings. When I first looked at the TM I stumbled across it right away and now I can't find it in the mass of TM and PDF files I have collected.
In which TM does it...
Dear Steel Soldier Community,
this is a very specific question here regarding the oil lines going from the engine block and automatic transmission to the radiator. - I'll provide a better photo - I've looked through the TM once but can't find any specifics on the thread size.
There are two oil...
