I once made my own TIG pedal because I was being cheap, and I realized the components were dirt cheap that were inside of it. Here I decide to fix my design and just go ahead and upgrade it.
K5 BLAZER SOUND DEADENING THE ENTIRE FLOOR
มุมมอง 2.1Kปีที่แล้ว
I finally finish out all of the rust in the floors and prep it to install sound deadening material covering the ENTIRE floor - front to back of the m1009 k5 Blazer. This should help keep the heat/ road noise to a minimum.
I HAD to cut the ENTIRE end of the bed off the k5 Blazer.
มุมมอง 122ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I found more rust under the end of the "bed" in the K5 blazer (m1009). I cut it out and replace it with some flat 1/4" steel bar. Hopefully it turns out the way im thinking.
I broke the K5... THIS HAS GOT TO WORK.

The k5 m1009 Blazer rear quarter ended up worse than I thought (my fault). This episode I attempt to correct it with a whole rear section off of another Blazer.

You can save or earn hundreds or thousands by learning what exactly people mean when they say "It just needs the carb cleaned, come get it for free."

WELDER SET UP FOR SHEET METAL AND FIXING MY PLAIN HOUSE
Has the bedliner had any adhesion issues with the sound mat? I was thinking of doing this in my Hmmwv
I have that battery drain problem on mine!
Gotta track that down man!!
@ I have been trying… I still have the 24volt system… I am about to just change it to 12
Great job , that “tie down” spot you pointed out is where the passenger seat locks into
Any updates on the blazer?
Did you notice your ac blowing warm air
Hi hiw many mts of isolation panels is needed to cover all the floor
welding outside id bump that up to 25cfh , btw miller recommends at least 22 cfh on their migs
Yes outside more CFH is needed to combat the air movement. Possibly barriers to protect the welds from cross breezes as well.

Just watched your video, and had exactly the same problem, which was never there before, after replacing my fuel pump with a NAPA unit for a no start/fuel sender issue. Logically, I couldn't see why the evap cannister would be problematic: I was leaning towards a problem with the fuel pump because that shutoff valve is incorporated in it. I'm glad I saw this before I invested. But at 69, I am not stoked that I'll have to go under the truck for a third time (I replaced the vent solenoid). BTW, superfun video!
Did your gas mileage get better? Also wondering if your check engine light came back on after emptying the converters. We have a 2007 pathfinder and don’t really want to spend a fortune on new cats if possible.
Im curious what gauge wire you used for the power cord? Too small of a cord can cause all kinds of problems due to the power surge at start up.
I’m just paid 170 brand new on eBay lol
I’m the same way
sound deadening / heat insulation is a bridge i haven’t crossed yet in my blazer, so thanks for posting your project. do you think the roll-on deadener material would stick onto a spray-on liner? so basically would it work if you swapped the order (liner first)? thanks!
Maybe but im not for sure. I would think with all the texture you may have an adhesion issue.
ur gonna be mad, i just bought this for 255.00 and its black now.
yeah man... lol they brought out the black unit RIGHT after I bought mine. oh well. Glad they finally changed it up, im betting they will sell many more units now being more attractive to the eye. Hopefully you like it man!!! Heres to your future builds my dude!!!
Yo bro i just found out about ya, killer work. Weird question about the blazer do you think there's enough room in the back for people if the second set of seats were turned into two benches going across the wheel fender?
You know what? Thats one awesome idea man!!! Ok so one would have to worry about the wheel wells being in the way, makes me wonder if a smaller seat on each side out of maybe a jeep wrangler or suzuki sidekick or samurai would work? as long as there is enough leg space between the seats. Thats a cool idea man! I might have to do more research on that. This comment right here is why I love people sharing what ideas they might have.
You definitely don’t live in Florida. Park it outside, go inside and get a drink and by the time you’re done your truck is dry. (And too hot to touch.
ill check a map again, but im pretty sure i currently live in florida.... lol
do you have any of the white c10 that was there it was me i did really long ones?
Im sorry man, this is the only footage I have. Very cool truck though!!
why do people speed thru the parts most needed to be seen-- ie where connectors are, etc.
well... I dont want you to get it confused and I can assure you that its because im actually terrible at making videos.... LOL actually its a bitter battle of covering all the details (for detail oriented people like yourself that want to use it as a "how to") and the other end of the spectrum of hoping people get the jist of whats going on but need something faster moving to keep their attention and keep them interested and watching.
just get the top fan shroud out of there completely and you won't need to crawl underneath.
Thank you for posting this video. It helped me figure out a overheating problem i had with my frontier.
Atta boy! Glad to hear you got it sorted out!!
Having the same issue but don’t have the old spring i think im going to try to use some snips and cut the spring shorter
Sir did the snipped spring work, I also have the issue and have tried everything, but this!
Looks great. Definitely tedious time consuming work, im sure end results will be more than rewarding. Great work. Alex- FHI
LOL thanks man, one can only hope!
Some k5s had tilting option for front seat so people could get in the back easier? That was part of the latch that held seat down in normal position.
Duly noted! Im sure I will find out when I bolt the seats back into it. Couple more things coming up before I can do that though but soon, very soon!!
Yes, you'd pull the lever on the back corner, and the whole seat would tilt forward, making it easier to get into the back. So many memories getting into my grandfather's K5 like that after shool
@@MarkyTheSharky310 Thanks for the reply!! Good thing I didn't patch over that hole then I guess. LOL. The seats were out of it when it rolled in the shop, so I wasn't too sure. Thanks for clearing it up guys!!
Nice job. That works. It would be nice if there was a way to roll a seam on the old panel so that you have plenty of metal on the back side. Then just overlap it and plug weld.
Hmmm... I see what you are saying. By using Clecos to hold it I guess then weld the seam and "spot weld" the other holes. I think ive seen that done before, but alas I am a simple man and just butt welded it. LOL
@@rndlife that totally works. It just takes a long time because you don't want to warp it. I did a bunch on my M1009 a couple of years ago and I used rosette welds wherever I could.
@@SP-wk1en ok im not going to lie to you... I literally had to google "rosette welds" just now lol. How did yours turn out? what did you have to weld in?
@@rndlife The rockers on mine were totally shot, as well as parts of the floorboard. The replacement rockers they sell are for the truck so I had to cut and bend them up at the ends and I used that overlap + rosette method and then seam sealed the heck out of everything. Also for patches in the floor area. My interior is bedlinered so everything blends in pretty well. I've never had anyone notice the method I used. There were sections I had to seam weld, but on rust damaged areas you get a lot of burn through and it's a pain to deal with.
@@SP-wk1en Well you might be interested in the next step im taking on this thing then... Thats all the lawyers will let me say RN lol
I have the same problem on my pathfinder. 08.
check out the video where I finally figured out why i couldnt fill up the tank... it was a surprising find to say the least!!
Try the filler vent
I thought that was the issue initially, buuuttttt..... I was wrong!! check out part 2 to see exactly what was causing the issue!
Mine is losing coolant from reservoir I believe fan clutch is failing now overheating would the fan clutch be the culprit sluggish acceleration as well
Be sure to pressure test the cap on the reservoir, It may just be failing. If it is, its a dirt cheap fix. Remember temperature and pressure are relative. Water boils at 212 degrees at sea level. The higher the pressure the higher the temperature can go without boiling. If the spring in the cap is failing, then the system wont hold proper pressure thus causing it to boil and blow out of the tank at a lower temperature.
@@rndlife My caps got switched around not sure how that happened but i did replace thermonstat for safe measures & I have a new fan clutch believe mine is failing sounds like a schoolbus when accelerating from drive
So I replaced my fuel pump a couple weeks back and had the same issue you were having and I told the person that helped me do it the first time that this spring needed to be changed out from watching this video. He said “oh that guys smoking something cause I think it’s your evap canister” so I started the job myself on the spring switch out and he came over to help and I showed him the difference in the spring for the pump and he goes “why the hell would they put a stronger spring in the pump” we got it all done and now it works as it should. You truly are a life and money saver with this video thank you
Thats awesome to hear!!! Great job!! Yeah something about the aftermarket sending unit (NON OEM) They just run too heavy duty of a spring causing the vent to be plugged/blocked off. Im glad to hear sharing this helped at least one person.
I have the exact same issue with a 08 frontier, what could it happen if i remove the spring? I dont have the original fuel pump anymore
I just used a plastic tie to keep it down, I went to get gas and it worked perfectly, after battling 1 year with this problem, thank you very much for this video. I will try not to overfill the tank, until I get the replace
@@javiermontes6399 Yeah that will work, remember its just a slight "assist" in case of a rollover. Other than that you should be fine. Just dont tell osha what you did lol
Nice review. Just picked mine up for $300 after coupon. Totally worth it. They must have listened because they are black now instead of the weird green color.
I saw that!!! You can imagine the look on my face after seeing a week later they started selling the black units. lol
$232 on amazon now just got mine thanks for the review
@@truckcampertraveler7369 Wow! thats a sweet deal, good luck with it!!

Smart Man!! Thank you for great video! Not all heroes wear capes
Thanks man!! We cant hoard what we learn or know, gotta share so we can all move forward together.
A couple of quick things: That's not the original back battery tray. Never heard of a cold winter package. That's very interesting. The hydroboost is the brake booster, driven by the PS pump. Those are semi valuable (or used to be) for gas cars with very aggressive cam. These rolled off the assembly floor in woodland camo, not olive green. Many were sprayed tan in Iraq. Then they came back to the USA and some were given to police / fire and they painted them whatever. Someone welded over the radio antenna mounts on this one. Should be forward mounts. It's more valuable if you reinstall them. New steel wheels are dirt cheap. Like $70 each. Merrick sells mounting plates for modern rear seats - third row Suburban. The hitch mount is very weak. Remove it. A modern K5 receiver mount is much stronger. The service lights must be on if you want brake lights and turn lights. The other switch is for infrared cats eyes in the bumpers during night vision use. The trans and transfer case also have some kind of custom heating stuff. Axles are both 10-bolt. Rear is LSD. Front is open. The transmission issue sounds like a vacuum pump issue. The diaphragm rots out over time. That assembly fakes out the vacuum of a gas engine. Great video. Thanks. DM me if I can help.
Thanks for all the info, its much appreciated!! Ill start doing research on the things you mentioned.
You seem to have a lot of knowledge on the m1009s. Kudos, I just got one, do you happen to have experience with the tailgate window mechanism not working? The glass shattered on the pervious owner and it seems like one of the two arms is jammed into the top sill. When cranking it doesn’t move and resets position. I’ll make some videos, may not be on this channel
@@Joemondaking There's a crazy cam drive piece, and these things always break. Have you done a search on SteelSoldiers? Honestly those guys know 10x what I do. Good luck and I'm happy to help if you get stuck.
I have an m1009 as well! Still has the factory paint camo paint, bridge plates, 24 volt system…. I want to change mine over to 12 volt
love the work brother! Keep it up! super informative! I can't wait to see the 240sx all done!
Thanks!! I promise im pushing ahead, More coming soon!!
This video is shit! Just hit the subscribe button. Hope to see more shitty videos
What is the part you replace? The entire unit?
The answer to the issue is at 8:00 into the video. Thats all I swapped from factory sending unit to the aftermarket unit. Worked like a champ and filled up every time perfectly after that. I explain it in more detail in the video. Hope this helps you on your way.
These videos are awesome! Thank you for posting them. I picked up a CRD with a failed thermostat and I figured there had to be a way to make a factory housing serviceable
Why thank you!!! Where there is a will there is a way. Always more than one way to do something!!
@@rndlife I think I found the solution that works for me. I'm gonna cut the neck off, mill the housing and neck flat but still crimped together, and then use a hemi thermostat and a parts store neck with a 90° bend. I'll drill and tap the holes for it and use a spacer to make sure the thermostat still closes fully
Should have used some Everlast gold instead of that ugly peach Bondo. Making progress tho looks good 👍🏻
It tastes better on a cracker tho
Having issues with p0448
uh ohhhh.... yep welcome to the evap team. lol
Did you ever provide an update on whether that fixed the overheating?
Details son.
LOL I received none
@@rndlife I'm not surprised!
Just bought a used 2018, dealer replaced radiator but it’s running hot on stoplight, will try this repair. Thanks
He is funny ! I like this guy !🤙🤙
Facing the same problem with my Ford edge, not even high mileage either. Takes 10 mins to start after filling up..Makes car fart noises when driving..Now I can't hardly put any gas in it lol
Nice shower system
Do like the bucket idea though!
How in da heck do you find anything in that truck? Any mobile mechanic or repairman shows up with a service vehicle that is that disorganized, I'd run him off,as I have found that people with messy service vehicles, also do Shoddy work!
I promise I ONLY do the ABSOLUTE BEST SHODDY WORK LOL. I had just gotten home from a job on friday after having rushed to finish the job and get out of there. I always clean and organize the tools before leaving the house. I do agree with you though. Mine is one of the cleanest, and I had to train with a guy that was SO BAD I was actually embarrassed to open the doors at the customer locations. He LITERALLY just got a BRAND NEW van. I hope he doesnt ruin that too
@@rndlife that's great,and I like the Shoddy Work Joke,at least I hope it was a Joke,still like the Bucket Idea, sorry if a little hard on ya!🤗
Hey try the purge valve it’s located in the engine bay but is connected to the evap canister
Ill check into that but here soon i dont think we will be needing that... stay tuned for a REAL curve ball on this truck!!
@@rndlife i fixed The issue as well, it turns out I had a bad fuel pump since I had gotten it from a cheap auto parts store… but i heard that this is a pretty common issue
@@kevinfrancisco3821 Yep VERY common
@@kevinfrancisco3821 Yeah apparently the aftermarket sending units are built alright, but there are small details like the spring pressure on this one or other small things that they sometimes get wrong. Buying OEM is usually recommended, but if you like to tinker a bit, and you have the time things like this will def help us understand the systems that make the vehicles run, and how they work. lol
Dude, I got the same issue with an ‘08 frontier. What do you recommend I just changed the fuel pump because it when out. Go to a junkyard and find me one of those I guess. Awesome video
Sorry I diddnt see this comment sooner. Apparently the spring was different in the aftermarket unit compared to the factory unit. Thats what literally fixed ALL of my fueling issues.
Mine lost power steering battery light came on and truck turned off serpentine belt and alternator good though what could it be?
A pulley might be getting to a point where it's not turning freely. Belts and alt. can be fine but if pulleys are grabbing or hesitating -- just not turning well -- it will cause issues like not being able to charge your battery. When the vehicle shuts down so does the steering. I don't know Nissans well but I'm a former Honda Class A tech. Good luck.
