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...

Ive never been able to swap anything out with number two and get it to work. :razz:

Cool find, interesting story. Would have left it a 1010 but the choice was yours. Wish I could be so lucky!

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...

Inexpensive is relative. LMC truck has alot of trim items available.

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...

OK here are some new pics. 09 in its current condition.

Awesome! Wish I could be a fly on the wall for that.

Ohh Im not that's why the body swap.

It's not hard but you will need to add a tilt column that has the wiper switch as well as the module. It is all direct bolt in and plug and play.

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...

Funny, my horn is mounted on the driver side fender well inside and can be accessed easily.

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...
