    M1009 transmission kickdown switch

    I installed one of CUCVRUS' kickdown switches in place of mine that I broke (thank you CUCVRUS!) My throttle bar still doesn't make contact, or just barely, with the switch's peg, and I know that it's mounted correctly. So, I think that the throttle either isn't able to move at full travel or...

    Hi from NC. I just purchased an M1009

    I was incorrect. The hood release cable that I used was from NAPA. Part number is 665-4031. Hope that helps. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Hi from NC. I just purchased an M1009

    I will need to check when I get home, but I feel pretty sure it was a Dorman cable for a 1984 Blazer. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Installed civi Air conditioning in the m1009

    Great work! Did you reuse the original sticker or had one made? I have the daunting task of trying to find an exact replica sticker.

    M1009 transmission kickdown switch

    Here is a stock photo of one. I broke mine taking it apart to see if I could adjust it. It is located on the go pedal bracket under the dashboard. At full throttle, the metal bar of the pedal assembly barely touched the switch. The throttle would have needed to travel about another 3.4 inch in...

    M1009 transmission kickdown switch

    I'm beginning to wonder if the throttle pedal is moving at full travel or not. I'm hoping that someone on here could give me some insight as to how far the pedal is supposed to travel. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    M1009 transmission kickdown switch

    I noticed that the kickdown switch at the throttle pedal isn't being engaged, even at full throttle. It moves freely by hand though. What is the proper adjustment for that switch? Thanks, Kevin Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Need to source correct vinyl or leatherette (M1009)

    I have unknown bucket seats out of a newer vehicle that was installed by a PO. It has factory gray cloth as well as side air bags in them. Where can I source the proper color upholstery so that I can have an upholsterer recover them? Thanks, Kevin Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Crossover steering box question

    Hi all, I'm new here and have been doing a lot of searching, but can't seem to find the info that I'm looking for. I have an M1009 with the stock 6.2. The steering box has four hoses -- two from the pump and two going to the master cylinder. My understanding is that I would need a 2wd steering...

    Hi from NC. I just purchased an M1009

    I drove it home Sunday about 50 miles. One of the u-joints was clunking. I took the rear driveshaft to a drivetrain shop yesterday to replace the two u-joints along with balancing. I already replaced the hood release cable -- huge difference. The rest of the work that I will do I'll post in the...

    Hi from NC. I just purchased an M1009

    It’s my first Blazer as well as my first military vehicle. It’s got a fair amount of rust and a few major dings, but I’m planning on fixing it up.
