A little lost on the multimeter thing, butI think I did it right... Anyways I'm going to the manufacturer's site to hopefully figure out how to use it properly. I should probably learn how to speed...

I'm installing it now. I hope and pray thistakes care of the Gen 2 issue I have. I also noticed the hose leading to the CDR valve is loose and theres a good deal of old oil around the CDR valve....

New alternator is here... what do you guys and gals think?

Dwayne,

It should be here tomorrow so we shall see how it goes. Gen 1 is still original so I guess Ill have something to compare it to. There is also a 1 year warrantee apparently but lets hope it...

It was the only one with an isolated ground I could find that actually looked like my alternator as well...

Poked around the engine bay and posted in the alternator diagnosis thread.... I think I tracked down my Gen 2 and voltmeter issues.

Another happy customer here. Thanks John!

I'll be there as well with the M1008 (hopefully), not sure if I'll be camping though. I've been waiting for this to show up. Also a note to all... don't be afraid to drive down and around the back of...

Congrats on the new place! Sending another PM. I'm trying to piece my poor truck back together.

I think you put it in the wrong spot.... You might want to start a new thread...

So beauty really is only skin deep. LOL, I had to say it. But it does look good minus the abuse, seems to have a lot of potential.

Have you tried getting ahold of jcappeljr? He's also in PA and might even be able to get you in the divers seat. He has a few for sale as well.

Paid for, took delivery, insured (will be looking for a new insurer but its legal for now), and drove for the first time. Got a new tailgate (well, its a GMC but it fits and works and s in good...

Welcome to the site.

I'm off thursday if you need some help, just let me know.

Well, regrettably, I think I wont be making it this go around. I just dont have enough stuff together. So I'll be around when ya'll meet up in Indy and I might be in for the convoy down to take a...

I'm still looking forward to this. I dont think I'll be able to stay over saturday night. But if I can get a house sitter lined up for friday we will probably be spending the night down there after...

Glenn,

Just wanted to thank you for what you do for this hobby and the members here as well as the trucks and trailers. I haven't met you yet but hopefully I'll get to meet you and do some...

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thats a nice set up you have in there.

Great looking truck. You did a very good job.

Great to hear your son is doing great out there! After this thread... I did go and see a V-100 for the first time... Battered, rusty, and in disrepair... but from what I'm told they're still gov....

I was on a bit of a time crunch too so that didn't help my cause very much... I ended up getting extremely busy when I got back to Indy. But yes those are the ones! I troll through the V-100 forum...

Great pics Rory! Well I asked around a little bit and got at least one V series story. Its not a very good one though. The story came from a fellow Marine I work with who was an MP some time ago. He...

Very nice. I don't want to ask what that one cost. But Definitely a sharp looking truck. You sure it ever saw service? Cause it's in great shape for it's age.

I'll see what I can do, I got tasked out to training all week this week. So hopefully by the middle of next week.

Rory,

Anytime brother. If youd like Ill try to get ahold of a couple former USMC MPs I work with, one of which says he was assigned to a sensitive site for a little while if they have any V100...

I just read this entire thread and want to say Thank You. But it really never seems to be enough. The tidbits of stories, helpful information, great pictures, dedication, hard work, sacrifice,...

I've been there with the late night/early morning brilliant ideas... and I've been kicked in the shin at least once for it. But you definitely have a set to be proud of.

Definitely a sharp looking truck. Keep up the good work.
