To be honest guys, I'm not sure what I would be looking for in the TM to try to figure this one out. The 09 sat for a few weeks since I last had to move it, and when I went to take her out last night, the right turn signal indicator was half-lit as soon as I turn on the park/headlights...

Who has actually done a front hitch install on a 1009 for mounting a winch carrier, etc? Did you have to fabricate one or have you found one that fits off the shelf? So far the only one I've found is this Warn receiver: WARN 25855 Front Receiver Trailer Hitch,2 inch : Amazon.com : Automotive...

So, I'm sure I can find a place if I wanted to splice into wiring, but is there any place to easily tap the instrument lighting supply without taking the dash apart? Installing some gauges, and I currently have them wired to the ignition-controlled 12V source. Just means my lights are on when...

For anyone who has installed a gauge, what's the normal peak temperature you see, especially when towing? I installed the AutoMeter 3 mini gauge cluster (2391) and want to replace the voltmeter I don't need with a transmission temp gauge, and AutoMeter told me that the 2355 water temp gauge...

Smittybilt 5661031 GEAR O.D. Green Front Seat Cover : Amazon.com : Automotive I got one of these a while back for about $100 for my driver's seat, and kept the item in my cart for when I felt like splurging for the passenger side cover. Well, Amazon just told me their price just dropped to $80...

Been searching for a bit, not really finding what I was looking for. I believe I've read a post here or there about some magic spot in the firewall that was easy to run some wiring through into the cab, but I can't find any reference to them. If there isn't some easy place to route it through...

Hey, so I ordered the water jacket cover from GMPartsDirect, and I have a AutoMeter gauge I was going to hook onto it. Before I got into tearing into the engine compartment side of things, I tried to dry-fit the sending unit, the adapter, and the plate. However, the jacket seems to be narrowed...

Ok, so maybe the title makes it sound like this is no surprise, but I personally expected better from my 09. I take it with an empty trailer down the road the other day at 55 MPH, and 15 minutes later, it's overheating and the radiator is boiling like a tea kettle. WTF I think. I let it set...

While trying to come up with a completely plug-and-play solution for my civvy trailer wiring on the M1009, I found several wiring diagrams that enlightened me to a few things. First, as many have noticed, the T-connector for a civilian trailer 4-way plug does not work out of the box. Both...

I have an M1009, and I'm installing Trailer Hitches - Draw-Tite I want to tow 1983 SEA RAY 21 FT - All Wheel Auto Troy, MO from St Charles, to as far as the Lake of the Ozarks or Jackson County. Am I crazy, or should it handle it? The trailer has surge brakes, not electric I guess.

Since I just read it, as I'm sure almost every other member did, I noticed it forbid links to eBay auctions. When that was written, auction may have very well been the vastly predominant listing type on eBay, but now with the widespread habit of setting up storefronts and selling Buy It...

I read a thread that mentioned that civilian blazers do use the same drive shaft, but it wasn't elaborated on. Just wanted to know if someone has gone to a junk yard and pulled a K5 rear driveshaft assembly and dropped it right in before, and if so, what years should have the same driveshaft...

I'm having a strange problem with my rear battery. It was at the mechanic's and when I got it back the charge on it was about 8 volts. The truck would still start, barely, and the mechanic said he had started it probably 20 times over a few days. When the truck starts cold, Gen 2 has had a...

I have a specific question about the vacuum pump. The TMs don't go into any real detail about the pump itself. As far as I can tell, I have a dead pump. I hooked the Actron gauge up to the hose running directly from the pump to the regulator, and the gauge registered absolutely no vacuum...

Well, I've done a lot of searching around here, and haven't been able to find out what kind of actual parts/specs to look for in a replacement torque converter. From what I can see, the original parts for the 6.2/TH400 are the 3 bolt GM3, and the 6 bolt GM6. NAPA sells rebuilts from Pro-King...

For anyone who lives near a Rural King store, their ad last week advertised a No Sales Tax Saturday. I missed that but they listed a Group 31 battery (925 CCA) for $75. From what I've seen, that's a pretty good deal. Would have been better with their tax discount but even with tax, if they...

I got one of the General Purpose First Aid Kits, I want to put it in my 1009 but I'm not sure where it's 'supposed' to go. Is there any sort of standard mounting for these? I read someone used under their jerry can/toolbox mount in the back but that's where my antifreeze is wedged. Is there...

Probably going to need to take my truck to a shop (diesel-oriented) to get some help troubleshooting and for some more serious work. Looking for someone who may just charge a fair diagnostic fee, and credit all/part of that to any repairs I do have them do. Also looking for a place nearby that...

My M1009 hasn't been running quite right lately, so I've been digging in and checking all the things I've found mentioned in the TM and online. Too hard to start when cold, ticking sound near oilpan that's grown very pronounced lately, engine sounds much louder than normal most of the time but...

Plan on picking this up, but thought I would ask if anyone knew any extra parts I would need, to maybe save me 30 minutes per drive to the Lowes or O'reilly each time I find I'm missing a part. Part I'm planning on buying is here: Equus 6244 - Oil Pressure Gauge | O'Reilly Auto Parts Unless...
