    Alternators alternative set up

    I think it is a definately possible on the 1009 but I believe you would need a third battery which would not be that hard to squeeze into one of the existing trays. doing the two systems with only two batteries would probably cook the 12volt battery since it would be getting double charged. the...

    military antenna sugestions

    I found one that has the ground strap and 2ft antenna sections that go upto 15ft. I figured I could just use enough sections to get my correct length and maybe only have to trim the last section. from all of the pics I have seen of this base, I cannot tell that it has a spring so I was not...

    Post your cucv pics here

    here is a pic of mine since I put the tires and wheels on, these pics are in other threads but I thought I would add them to this thread. I have also added the antenna mounts with guards on each side but have not taken any pictures of it with them on it. Trying to get antennas for it now.

    military antenna sugestions

    I have found some AB-15 bases. from the pictures it looks like they have a big red ceramic isolator on them and not a spring base. Is this correct or is that a spring base. Also will it fit the 1009 antenna mounts with the brush gaurds. I found a couple, some with the whips in 2 ft sections...

    1009 front receiver hitch and winch install

    cost is about the same depending on which way you go, If you keep the slip yoke, I think you can get a cv style high angle drive shaft between $400 and $600. If you decide to mod your tcase and can do the work yourself, it is pretty cheep but you still have to get the drive shaft which still...

    1009 front receiver hitch and winch install

    I installed the second black out light and got rid of the slave receptacle. I don't plan on a need for it. I also like things to look even. With the winch hanging out there and the 4 other lights I am going to install, (two IR lights and two 7 inch 24V spotlights) the blackout light on only...

    1009 front receiver hitch and winch install

    you might be ok with that, it is hard to tell for sure. With the 4l80e installed, the transfer case is moved back 2 inches and this makes the 5 inch lift not work with the slip yoke tcase. I did move the rear axle back an inch with the zero rates so really I only lost one inch. The shackle flip...

    factory tach install will it work?

    http://www.dakotadigital.com/ I bought it on line. the directions are easy to follow. I just spliced into the current alternator lead which I believe only goes to the diagnostic port. getting the small fuel gauge into the standard cucv cluster is going to take some cutting and some work...

I moved the 24volt meter to the top left corner. i have the civy water temp gauge to right of meter. The fuel gauge is in the bottom left corner and the oil presure guage is next...

    my 24v mess

    looks like the bypass has been done and the resistor removed. I should show up in the pick behind the air cleaner but I cannot see it. but yes, the bypass has been done with the way it is wired to the 12volt terminal block. Need to check and see if the fusable lingks are still good. both the...

    1009 front receiver hitch and winch install

    I got the receiver parts back from the powder coater today and installed everything. I still need to get some power quick disconnects for the winch. I currently have cables long enough to reach the front battery so it is connected and working but I want to get the quick disconnects so I can...

    military antenna sugestions

    http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?29335-Military-antenna-for-CB I have read this thread and I may copy one of these setups. the thread was over a year old so I was hoping some new info and other possibilities were out there. I am not sure if a scanner will work with one of these.

    military antenna sugestions

    I do not have a lot of knowledge with regards to radios. I have a cobra cb and plan to purchase a Uniden trunk tracker scanner in the near future and would like to know if there are any military antennas I can use with these. from my understanding the antenna needs to be tuned and at this time...

    Anybody know where to get lift shackles?

    I have a vibration issue with my 09 at this time due to a 5 inch lift and moving the transfercase back 2 inches with the 4l80e install. since it is a 1009 and not a truck with longer driveshaft thus less angle, I cannot rotate my rear axle down enough to get rid of the vibration without the...

    Anybody know where to get lift shackles?

    32s will fit on stock suspension, I ran 33s on my 1009 with no lift and never had any rubbing. put the 32's on there and then see if you need any lift. If your axles are not centered in the wheel wells then get some one inch zero rates and recenter them. You should be able to do this with out...

    my 24v mess

    I would get a regular 12 volt charger and charge each battery while it is disconnected. if it is cold out, take the batteries inside and charge them overnight. The meter on the charger should let you know if they take a charge or not.
