Yes. Just take the manual guts out of your doors and install them in the donor doors. Reuse your trim and window cranks. I believe they are riveted in, so you will have to drill the rivets and rivet them into the donor doors or use short 1/4 inch hardware.
here's a pic of the 98 donor firewall from inside. The firewall to transmission tunnel is shaped slightly different, but it should give you an idea of where the shifter cable goes through.
I haven't had any problems with the cops as far as brightness goes. If it were me doing it, I'd do what Rob suggested and build a mount that slides into the receiver. Then wire it to the existing plate light plugs.
Bo, I don't have any pics that I know of, I'll look though. But as I recall, the hole is a couple inches below where the wire harness goes through for the ECU on the drivers side.
I was going through my desktop earlier and stumbled across some old pictures of the Comanche from when i first got it. I completely forgot all about these. Most are pictures from the seller and a couple are when I got it back to the property. I thought it was nostalgic and had to share.
This is more for those who have done a second gen swap on their trucks. It is for solving the problem with the original sender in order to get the fuel gauge to read properly as well as having higher pressure from the fuel pump.
It depends. Do you want to use just the motor and transmission from the donor? Or do you want to use the control systems/wiring/sensors/OBDII from the 97+ as well?
Agreed. I had an airbag light that ended up being the plug not fully seated in the control module. If that doesnt cure it, check the plugs to the other airbag related stuff.
