Help in western Arkansas?

[jholler]

I have a friend in Greenwood, about 15min from Fort Chaffee with an m1009 that's having charging problems. Both alternators have been rebuilt (I think) and at least one belt was replaced just before she drove it across the state from jonesboro. When she shut it off, it's deader than a hammer now. Is there a good recommendation for a local mechanic familiar with CUCVs near her?

Nothing, huh?

I know this doesn't help much but if she can get a charger on the batteries where it sits that would speed up the repair process...plus once it starts she can run it for the day without shutting it off since it doesn't take much power to run...which might get here closer to someone that can check fuses and such.

Yeah, she has a charger and I believe she's already on that, just trying to find someone willing to find and fix the cause... the only person there she knew to ask basically told her "I don't work on old stuff, it's too hard".
.... there are literally free instruction manuals for everything on that truck, guy.

That is just sad. Not a job that requires hard work or serious brain strain.

i'm about an hour and a half north of her but don't know anything about 1009's.
