Thanks for the fast replies. I'm a long way from ATL, however I might send my shot-out alt up there and get it re-built if that's something that they'll do. Unfortunately, there's no place around here that can re-build alternators or anything like that. Very small town. I ordered one from OD...

I was driving my m1008 back from lunch last week and the passenger side alt belt went south. Prior to breaking, I smelled burning rubber so I thought the alt locked up. Took the truck home and checked the alternator - the pulley spun like a champ. Put a new alt belt on Monday night. Drove the...

RE: Re: RE: Bad Alternator Mine have always gone off at the same time. Last week I threw the alternator #2 belt and drove the truck home about 5 miles. My belt came in yesterday and I put it on and started the truck up. The #2 light stayed on until I revved it up. I haven't cranked it again, so...

Here's my M1008.

Hey, Joe. I did paint the inside of the bed, but I only put one coat, and it was pretty light.

Great looking truck. I like the color and the topper a lot. Looks ready for action. What kind of tires are those? Is the truck lifted?

Hey, Joe. It almost took one gallon to paint the truck. I put 2 coats on it too. Hope this helps.

Love the helmet sitting in the passenger's seat. Looks like you are ready for SERIOUS action!

Perfect! Thanks to you both. I don't have a Checkers or Kragen, but I do have an Autozone. I just called them and they can get it for me.

What store carries Goodyear Gatorback belts? Napa, Autozone, etc? I need the passenger side alternator - mine went south today going to lunch. Pass. Alt. & Fan = 15485

Thanks for all the positive comments, everyone! Hey, C'dub - I'm leaving her 383 green.

If you drive down from MI, I'll paint it!

That's exactly what he did. Told me that he thought the flat color would chalk up and he didnt' want his name associated with a paint job like that. I told him I didn't like the color and I'd fix it myself. I hate the fact that many business owner's forget who the customer is.

I got 2 gallons of the 383 CARC Green from Rapco. Great paint and easy to spray (was my first time too). Delivered to my door the 2 gallons were $110. I think I got the paint 2 days after ordering too.

Well, after getting the local paint shop to shoot my truck 2x and hating it both times, I decided to do it myself. Having never painted a vehicle before, only houses, I was a little aprehensive. I came to this forum and found out what paint to buy and how to reduce it. I used Gilespie 383 CARC...

I just used a $60 gun that I picked up at Lowe's. I was really impressed with how it worked. I also bought my reducer from Lowes - Zylol, Zylene, Zy-something!! Can't remember the exact name. I breathed way too many fumes.

...You got to do it yourself. Well, after getting the local paint shop to shoot my truck 2x and hating it both times, I decided to do it myself. Having never painted a vehicle before, only houses, I was a little aprehensive. But, I went to the paint and body forum on SS and asked a bunch of...

I love it. It's just plain TOUGH!

Love the cat roost.

Cause I had an idiot who painted it and added some clearcoat to the paint. The color is too light as well. I'll be repainting it with 383 CARC sometime in the next couple of weeks. You know the old saying, If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.
