Successful road trip and charging fix

[JeremiahAK907]

Just wanted to inform everyone my ole 86 m1008 with all its charging gremlins is now working perfectly charging I know some will cringe but she's fully 12 volt now. And she made a long slow drive from Washington, D.C. All the way up to Chicago which is my next station for school. **** navy haha. Probably time to drain the brownish well used tranny fluid. But she rolled down the road nicely no faster that 55-60 took a while but made it in one peice and with no problems!

Congratulations, your story reminds me of my first 1009 transmission fluid change. That stuff smelled so bad it about made you sick, but still shifted fine.
