Me too, except it wasn't acting up and I never smelled anything. I read another thread where the gp relay card caused the same symptoms. I have the CUCV Electric card. The old one is under my seat and I will swap them just in case.

I would not disrespect you like that. I did the mod. It was the first thing I did when I got the truck.

The guy at Oreilly's called it a starter solenoid. I already know there is a starter solenoid attached to the starter. Yes, could it be my 3 month old starter from Power Strike if it is getting power? It has a two year warranty. No clue here. How can it not be grounded to the frame? I did...

Talk about sticking my foot in my mouth... My brother brought the meter and we checked the batteries, starter, new starter solenoid on the firewall, purple wire to the starter relay under the dash and it all checks out. When I turn the key I get a click. Brother thinks maybe the neutral...

My multimeter is 32 miles away right now at my brother's house. I am sure it is the front battery and more than likely the DS alternator. I ordered a rebuild kit from CUCV Electric. It was in my plans to do anyway. Although troubling, it's not rocket science. I will be up and running soon...

When I moved my M1008 to my neighbor's driveway while the plumber was here my truck started. I moved my truck twice and the first time my voltmeter stayed in the yellow. The second time it popped up to green like normal. Now the truck won't start. When I turn the key I get one click. I...

You've had so many starter problems I would be worried about the flexplate. I used a gear reduction starter and GM brace (bracket you can get from the dealer), and a pioneer flexplate from Autozone. I also did the doghead mod first thing as I have read all the horror stories here. I used no...

I was going to say check all the connections. Mine was as simple as replacing the connector on the battery. I will be checking my alt connections too now. Thanks.

My view is why are you messing around and not getting the spare fixed? Murphy's law says you will need it at the worst time. Go to a tire shop and get it fixed.

I keep lots of tools in my M1008. They have come in handy several times and just this weekend on the side of the road. The spare tire carrier collapsed when the nut came off dragging everything under the truck. 15 minutes later and it was all laying in the truck bed. Lucky I didn't kill...

I used the cnceletrical.com starter from EBAY with a 2 year warranty and also changed my flex plate with a Pioneer one I bought from Oreilly's. Of course I did the doghead mod too. I have not had any more problems. You do need the right brace for the starter since it is a gear reduction. 24V...

I don't know if the seat covers breath, but they look like they will. They cost $175, but will last a long time and fit great hopefully making up for the cost. We put them on with the seat out so I know they will stay put. It was easy...

RUBBER FLOOR MAT-FLOOR SHIFT 109.95 from LMC Truck Parts...I got the pad to go under it too.

The doghead mod was the first thing I did. I even bought a new controller card and put my old one under the seat as it stills works, plus installed an overide button just in case.

Constructed using 100% waterproof Cordura nylon fabric from Marathon Seat Covers. The purpose of this truck is hunting and backup as a daily driver so I care more about reliability than new parts. I also want to be able to get out of a bad situation so I am gathering the gear I need. Montana...

I got a floor liner from LMC and seat covers from Superhides. While we were at it we resealed the air vents where my cab leaks come from. I did not realize it was all one piece until we pullled the vent out.

Decision time...I am going with the high priced Wilson Alternator from NAPA. Why? It is isolated grounded. I will put it on the DS, then rebuild the old alt to use on the PS and then rebuild that alt for a spare. Wow...you think someone would have this alternator thing figured out, but I...

Too many questions? Feel free to jump in as I am all ears. My next biggest projects are alternators, injection pump, and head gaskets. After that I should be good for many miles down the road. :lost:

That's what I was originally thinking. A Caddy alt on the DS that would give me a spare for the isolated ground on the PS. I spent over 5 hours reading this forum yesterday. Changing an alternator is not that hard. Finding one is. My other question is do you have any trouble with your GEN 1...

OD Iron seems to be out of alternators. I haven't called them yet. I would at least like one spare while I rebuild or have rebuilt mine and to keep for emergencies. I have made a search with all kinds of information that hasn't helped me. Where do I get an alternator for my M1008? Any help...
