look for suburban buckets, the ones I removed to put in my 1009 had individual rails for each seat I took the seats off the rails and put them on my 1009 bases. I sold the rails with the old 1009 seats to someone who was going to put them into a 1008 but have not heard how well they worked...
33's fit with stock rims and no rubbing on a 1009. forget the body lift on a 1009, you have to cut the back bed out to get to the bolts and unless your bed is trashed and needs replacement I would not attempt to do this. suspension lift is best option and if doing any lift at all, I would not...
I think this 12volt vs 24volt battle should be moved to another thread, It is not helping the OP at this point.
We are here to help this member not bash each other and confuse his thread.
I thing we need to have the OP get us some more information before we confuse him on if he needs to be 12 or 24 volt. I beleive we need to know what starter he has and the state of his current wiring. Once we get him back on track and his truck running he can the determine if he wants to change...
get us some better pictures if you can, from what I can see there is not a wire from the batteries to your 12 volt terminal block which is located next to the glow plug relay on the drivers side. we also need to see if the 24 to 12 volt resistor is still there and if it is still being used, it...
thanks, if I had it to do over again, I would have made my own out of some aluminum, I have a small wire feed welder that welds aluminum and I can weld ok with it. I still would not want to make any new holes in my 1009 so even with my own self made shelf, I would still install the all thread...
no bracket needed and the vacuum is not needed either. you have to leave the vacuum pump in because the oil pump uses the shaft of the vacuum pump but you do not have to worry if the pump works or not. I went with the TCI controler due to it has additional functionality. I did have problems...
you may want to search my post on the install of the lmc shelf. I added support to the visors using all thread. I went through the existing visor holes into the mounting holes for the shelf. It was an easy mod and it got rid of the shelf vibration and the bouncing visors. I am now in the...
The block under the leaf spring is a one inch zero rate from ORD. It moves the front axle forward one inch. The hitch has no flex I have looked at a few of them made by others and this one is at least twice as thick and has a 3/8 thick brace under the receiver that keeps the plate from flexing...
I just got my front receiver hitch fabricated today, along with the winch holder. It is made of 3/8 inch steel plate and bolts between the frame rails in front of the cross member and behind the bumber. The two inch reciever is just below the bumper and is almost flush with the bottom of the...
red led dash
here is a pic of the red led dash, it is very easy on the eyes the bulbs do not dim but it is not needed with the red. I also put led's in the tail lights and marker lights. All lights in the rear are led including the reverse lights, the front side markers are led but in order...
if it is your glow plug relay making the sound then that means it is about to quit. The only time mine made any sounds is after I converted to 12volt, the relay would make a buzzing sound, that lasted for about a dozen starts before the relay died. I do not beleive the CUCV's used any door...
finally got he temp gauge working. the top teminal is the ground. the left terminal when looking at the back is power and the right is signal. The single wire sending unit works. I had a bunch of issues from bad ground to broken signal wire. The signal wire had a bad spot in it that I did...
