My answer to this is I am transplanting a civy body since mine is literally falling apart by the minute. I drop rust bombs on the road as I travel. I have 2 gel cel batts that will fit in the front tray together with some cable mods as the a/c case is where the rear batt goes. Will need to move...
My Best Friend Bob has a birthday bash that we celebrate every year at his place in Bryceville Florida off HWY 301 with a Mud Bogg on his property which encompasses 60+ acres. There will be Monster trucks, 4wd party barges, and four wheelers there as well as my 09. Last year we even had a few...
Here are a few pics of my body donor. I paid $750.00 for what you see minus engine, trans, t-case, and drive shafts. It will go back military loosing all the chrome and mldgs but I will have the advantage of having a factory a/c dash with controls as well as most of the under hood stuff.
Class 3 hitch added and tied into military pintle to have the correct positioning and pivotability required for military trailers. Note the bracket from the pintle to the hitch is from an m1008 pick up and the hitch from a salvage yard. The ears were cut off of the oem pintle mount and welded to...
12V The only things that are 24 are the starter and charging system. The rest of the truck is 12V. Do yourself a favor and eliminate the 24v to 12v resistor as described in the other threads it will save you from going through the cascade failure headache.
After my IP ordeal (see pop went the weasel) I have been driving my 09 on a regular basis. I installed a class 3 hitch that was modified by a buddy of mine to incorporate and strengthen the pintle as I tow an m101a2 and an equipment trailer. I also purchased an 1984 civy version that I am using...
A glow plug temp sensor may help but not likely. Locate it, check your wiring, and make sure it's connected. Make sure you test your IP with the water first and make sure during the no start condition you are getting fuel at the injectors by undoing one of the lines with a 3/4 wrench at the...
Yes the 4502 is the latest model pump that stanadyne made for our trucks and was engineerd with the latest upgrades before going to the hwmvv style pump
When its not starting crack an injector line to see if you are getting fuel at the injector and if not you need a new pump or bare minimum a solenoid. If it runs at all your core is good. Forget epay. See if you can find a local shop that has a good rep like I did and have yours rebuilt or make...
I am finally updating and finishing this thread. I swapped over the connectors from the burnt wires on my old filter housing and it works. The WIF light cycles and I believe the heater is working with no leaks at all. Man this took 6 months of having to save up for the pump and various other...
I finally got around to installing my IP and I have been pouring over the TM's and have done a few forum searchs but does anyone know which hole on the timing gear the
pin on the IP shaft goes into? Is it the round or the oval hole? The round hole does not line up and the oval does not appear to...
This is normal. The trucks have 4:56 gears for off road use. You have several options. You can change over to 3:73 ratio with some modification. You can go with a lift kit and larger tires. You can do a 700r4 or a 4L80 trans swap. All of which is discussed in detail in the forums here. Welcome...
