Werid science Well, it was probably the idiot behind the wheel (me). I can't remember if it was broken before I took it apart or not. But the tab was not on the pig tail. Also, that Gen. 1 light never worked since day one, so methinks it was already broken off before the rebuild. 2cents David

Sold Well this truck has a new owner as of this past Saturday. Very nice guy from Virginia who took it home to live with him. I am sure there are a few bugs to work out, but overall a very nice truck. David

Thanks. You need ot take it off and clean with this: Adhesion Promoter 16oz. Then dye with this: Burgundy Interior Paint Aerosol - 12 oz Net David

Console Yep, they are from the Suburbans of that era. They fit well and work good, look around they can be had for about $50.00 +/- David

correct Ben is correct, 383 green for the 3 color NATO pattern. David

Seat No it's done right... my big butt has just been sitting in it! :-D Thanks! David

Gen I Thanks Joe & John, most of this is over my head but I can follow instructions. John and I did test the big red wire on Gen I and had 12v there. It’s having the possible “phantom” volts at the brown wire with the key "on" that’s weird. :cookoo: Plan of action is: 1. Per Joe, clean and...

Gen I light Thanks so much for the help guys. Udate: Cleaned everything again on the gauge cluster- bulb contacts, bulb housing, film contacts and even the plug contacts their film contacts. Turned on the key...no light! aua I do have the "oil" light and all other gauge lights. I took...

More than one problem I posted this before I got into contact with John. Since then: I have more than one problem. Gen II 's under dash relay was bad. That's fixed. Volt meter was pegged out into the overcharge red range with the key in the "on" position...bad resistor. It read 86.5 on...

thanks Yep, Gen II light is on and goes off as it should. Been talking to John from CUCV electric and we are thinking the same thing. I will check the brown wire on Gen I back to the bulb in the gauge cluster BTW (great guy and great support!!) :beer: David

I have installed both newly rebuilt (correct) Gen 1 and Gen 2 on my 1008, and took these readings as suggested in other threads from the 2 wire plugs that go in back of both Gen 1 & Gen 2: Gen 1 : Red wire :Key off...

rockers... That's the stuff. Where did you get your rockers & back panels from? :beer: David

Title IMHO....I would do everything I could to get a title for the truck I am buying. There are a lot of trucks out there and you don't need to ever buy one without a clean clear title! :deadhorse: No title No sale. But this process is a legal way to get yourself out of a jam in an...

Troop seats Wow ED! The seats really set off the truck! I will make you a deal...on the resto of your M1009 if you do a set of seats for my M1008 ;) Truck turned out awesome :beer: David

The state of VT is only interested in collection tax revenue and are not really concerned about the reasons for reg. a vehicle in there state. I told them I lived out of state and even put my address on the paperwork. They then mailed me the reg. and tags to my home in MD. The only thing you...

No VIN verification, I bought it from a dealer then "lost" the assigned dealer title. But it does not matter where you bought it from as long as you have a bill of sale (wherever you get it from). David

Yes, all you need to do is cut some flat stock and match it up to your hole. Then glue it on, use self tapping screws to hold overnight to cure remove screws and it's never coming off after that. David

Thanks! There is a kit, but I just use bolts that go through the body holes to the inside and attach with nuts/washers. David

The truck is DONE! Finally got the seats back from the interior shop, which held me up for about a month! Anyway, she is done and I took her out for a photo shoot and then a quick test drive. David

Cutoff Yes, mostly. The reason I ask is because the previous owner of one of my trucks installed a "pull off" type connection switch between the front battery and rear battery. I know this will not kill the whole system but what if you installed the same type of cutoff switch on the back...
