    I hate paperwork!

    This business that GL has going is such a crock. They nickel and dime the hell out of you! Now that I finally got my SF-97 (what's that, about 60 bucks)I thought I was in the clear. Wrong. I went to DMV and got a temp plate and paid my taxes so I could go through emissions so I could get a...

    Adjusting the steering wheel position

    On my 1008 the steering wheel is (and has been since I got it) postioned 90 degrees to the right. The alignment of the front wheels is fine and the truck doesnt drift or pull but since the blinker is deactivated by a cam in the column, it won't stay on during a right turn! Can I adjust this...

    Anyone registered in CT?

    I am trying to register my 1008 in Connecticut but am having a hard time. My cucv didnt come with a title so I have to get a signed form from the base that I bought it saying that it has no title. Does this sound right? Thanks Andy

    Installing my glowplug button - few ?'s

    Do I have a bad starter?

    Well I was all pumped up becuase I just got my truck running and I was looking forward to a nice drive this morning but when I went out to start it, it cranked for about 10 seconds and wouldnt start. No fuel again. Anyway I let the starter cool for a minute and tried it again and nothing. I...

    What battery are you guys using?

    What is the replacement battery at the local autoparts store? Is there a direct replacement for the stock one? Are they the same as civi models? I want to call around and see if I can find a pair tomorrow. Thanks, Andy

    Question about fuel pump replacement

    Hey guys. I am replacing the fuel pump and had a question. I found a great write up on CK5 about pump replacement but was wondering if I had to touch the pushrod? If I just swap out pumps do I have to remove this and reposition? The TM says not to touch it if just replacing the pump. Anyone...
