I just rebuilt it a year ago with less than a thousand mileson it. The charge light started to flash when I was selling my house,moving my stuff with a U-Haul trailer to a storage unit, and going tosign papers in the pouring rain. In the meantime, I unplugged the GEN2 and just plugged the ol' girl in overnight. She has on boardbattery chargers.


Today's mission was to yank GEN 2 for aquick rebuild. This morning was a quick 2 hour session whichincluding some basic maintenance such as rubber/fluid checks,draining water from fuel filter, and running up the Genny to checkall my voltages. I proceeded to take the CUCV on a short tour whilethe weather was beautiful.


I went out to Fort McClary in Kittery,ME. Great view overlooking a ton of boats tied up. Since the MemorialBridge going from Kittery, ME to Portsmouth, NH just was finished afew weeks ago I headed in that direction. I grabbed a few photosleading up to the bridge when I was given the red signal. SCORE! CuckVee photo op on the bridge...yee haw!


Truck charged great the entire ride,burned a bunch of diesel fuel, made lots of noise, and listened tosome good tunes. Life sucks then you die...
