Had mine for a year now, no plates no title. Does have insurance though, and I carry a copy of my SF-97. Daily driven (when she's not having charging issues!) No problems yet!

I'm having an over charging problem on my M1008. The voltage meter will spike way up while I'm driving, then come down to normal for a few seconds, then back up. I was just going to let it go but it blew out my headlight now so I'm here for help. Out of all the threads I read the answer was to...

And a few more :)

Just got home not to long ago. I had such a great time! Poof, and everyone out there was so kind! Thank you all, I got to see awesome truck and talk to great people! Poof, Thanks again! You put on such a great event and the food was A++! Also, the van was very comfy :) I got to ride in my...

Hey guys, just wanted to say I'm almost positively going to be there Saturday! I'm very excited as this will be my very first meeting/gathering of MV owners that I have been to. From what I read I'm sure I'll have a great time, with some great people. And maybe learn some stuff too! -Greg

I figured I would post here instead of starting a new thread. I would like to buy a new/rebuilt Gen 1 for my 1008. I already rebuilt it using CUCV Electrics complete kit and I had it tested, still no good. I checked out the CUCV Wiki and it says you can buy an off the shelf alternator for the...

Wanted to do this with mine, but I never had the truck running for the local pulls! Glad to see it did better than expected!

Its just with mine, the old bolts were not self tapping. They just had flat ends. So that's what got me worried and made me come here for advice. Like I said, whenever I don't follow the directions, I break things! Thanks for the help though, guys.

Used a self tapping screw, it worked. I only came here because usually when I deviate from whatever the instructions say, I end up breaking things :oops: Thanks for the help

I don't have anything to tap a hole..

The original screw is not self tapping, and no self tapping screws came with the kit.

Rebuilding my Gen 1 using the "complete" kit from CUCV Electric. I'm also following step by step with their online instructions. I've reached this point to where they're telling me to install the bus bar onto the rectifier. But the rectifier hole is not threaded... (See Pics. First is from CUCV...

Well guys, my problem was horribly dirty fuel and fuel tank.. I mean I added fresh fuel and a new fuel filter before I even tried to start this truck, but oh well. Dropped the tank, cleaned it, flushed fuel lines, new fuel filter. Starts right up hot or cold, day or night :driver: Thats a GL...

I have no experience on this, but I did read on here that it is OK as long as you make sure its flammable hydro fluid. READ this post and the one below it: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/87110-black-diesel-other-alliterative-fuels-my-6-2-a-2.html#post1118910

Thanks so much for your help guys! It was exactly what Barrman said. I adjusted the ignition switch and the column works perfectly now! Thanks again. Now I just need to get the engine running right :-o
