When I was stationed at ft.Irwin California aka the big sandbox, the opfor vehicles we used were old cucvs painted all kinds of colors we had black green yellow etc.

If you reach way up on the inside behind the dash there is a opening that was used by the factory its almost right behind the gen lights. fish your wire down thru that hole and jiggle it around some till you see it in the factory hole for the pin switches then grab it with a pick or some stiff...

When you installed your rostra kit, what did you do about the tachometer input wire? Did you just leave it disconnected or did you figure out a means of sending tach signal to it? The Rostra kit indicates that tach signal isn't necessary but is a good idea for safety, to keep the engine...

What did you do with your windshield wiper/sprayer controls? the replacement lever just pops in everything works the same just adds cruise switches

That's the system I installed in my m1009. I went with the stock appearing turn signal lever and yes you do need a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) The one I used attaches to the end of the speedometer cable inline down by the transfer case this is the part number from Rostra if i remember right...

I have had that in the past. You need to look up online ground loop noises or related and it will give you a plethora of info to this issue.

Ok I know alot of others have run into this issue, you turn your fan on for heat and gen 1 on the dash lights up dimly and volt gauge drops a bit. Well I fixed mine, Bought a relay harness and a relay used the stock 12 volts from the original feed to the blower motor as my switched feed to...

Mine broke along time ago never fixed it and I have no issues besides the buzzer not working lol. I am fastidious about wearing my seat belt so it is no big deal to me.

let me guess you found out about the oil pan gasket just as you went to put the first few bolts in lol. The rear seal is not that hard just take your time jack the truck up by the frame rails and let the front axle just hang there will give you plenty of room to get the pan off. Make sure you...

the arctic fuel kits tap off the fuel line up behind the pass side front tire there is a tee in the line for it there. On our trucks I was told that the line you talk about is to drain the tank if you should ever need to change it out,

I had that happen to me before from what I could tell it was coming out the transmission vent. I searched around online for a fix and found out it maybe because the front pump seal was going bad or it could be because of overheating when I drove on the highway as I used to get my 1009 up to...
