The very first thing you need to do is the doghead mod. It will save you many dollars and hours of asking how to fix a starter meltdown. Don't wait. Do a search and you will see why. Congrats on your CUCV!

I'll watch for you the next time I pass through that way.

My M1008 does too. It must be normal.

Make sure your battery grounds are tight first and go from there. These vehicles have to have a good ground.

I want a spare alt. I was reading the Wilson Electric site and read their alt's are Delco Remy, meaning rebuilt, and tested by Wilson. My question is why would this be any better than Rare Electric who claims to sell new alts? China is China. The one year warranty should let me know if it...

I cleaned and sanded all the things connected to the 12 volt junction. My light is out and flickers when I accelerate or comes on with the heater fan. I have my new radio and will make a better ground for the heater unit at the same time, probably this weekend. I am still planning on buying...

Don't laugh. I was learning... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/74502-ok-im-confused.html

Thanks! You're the first to say you had trouble with that alt. I know about the Wilson's. I am planning on buying the DL7157 for the warranty and military discount.

The AutoZone alt you had so much trouble with. Was it the DL7157? Your story troubles me.

Ditto I have the 60g's and gp resistor bypass done. 60g's need to be grind down or replace the connectors as they are slightly bigger. I replaced mine with insulated connectors. I to have a manual switch, but it is wired so the stock systems works. I only have it for emergencies and do not...

I still believe this is normal. Tonight I started my truck cold and it sounded like a lifter rattling. As soon as the truck warms up it goes away. I've seen many trucks do this in my day and none of them blew up on me. EDIT- It is a Chevy. :razz:

No telling what the mech did if he did not use your plugs. If I get work done other than myself I use a good diesel shop that hates the 6.2 but will work on them and I make it clear what I want. You might have got 13g's and if not probably the Wellman 70's. If you are not doing the work...

I thought they always rattled until they warm up...most of them anyway.

nopics OK, when you get back. Have a great trip!

I brought my Walmart radio back. I would have to cut the slot and really did not want too. I bought this radio that fits in the hole I already have. It does not have a cd player, but does have modern features so I can play my music. Retro Sound I bought this thing too. What is cool is one...

Good catch. Thanks!

If we can use the AutoZone DL7157 alt on the DS why not use the alt for a civy K30 truck on the DS? They are both uninsulated. I've never heard it mentioned and was wondering if it will work. Duralast/Alternator For...

Today I changed the heater fuse even though my old fuse looked good. Now at idle the light is out and gets brighter with acceleration or using the blower fan switch. When I get time I am going to make a dedicated ground to the heater control unit just in case. I really think if the diode trio...

I was looking and my mirror glass is held on by clear caulk. That might be what I use. I will know when the new mirror gets here. It make sense so you can change it if it breaks.

Thanks again!
