RE: CUCV
Well just heard from my friend. The internals of the starter are shot. They want about $160 to rebuild it. He is going to call Alfa & see what they are going to do for him. Updates to follow.
That's why I like the magnets. At a parade or show I can take it right off. Hit it with a hose to clean the dirt & then there is no trace a plate was even there.
My Alfa truck only has the seams also. Alfa only shot the underneith of mine. This ones ziebart looks like it was done a long time ago. I thought that was weird too.
I bolted a galvanized backing plate with SS bolts to the back on the license plate. I then put 4 large magnets on each corner of the plate. I put a bead of RTV around each magnet to keep them from sliding. Then I just laid it right on the tailgate. The magnets don't slide on the CARC at all.

1985 M1009 6.2 DIESEL 4x4 #MC86
30,xxx MILES.
6.2 DIESEL w/24V START (ALL OTHER ELECTRICS 12V)
Just back from Europe. Pre-wired for communications...
First, were you doing anything under the hood before this happened? If not first test voltage coming out of the #1 alt. If no voltage, I would say it's the wiring going to the light. In my experience the Alt. won't get excited if the light does not go on. If it is making voltage, get a wiring...
I actually was the first bidder on this book. I can't get over what the bidding is up to. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270079519062&rd=1,1
I like the red gauge lights on the older military trucks. I was fueling up at a truck stop and he had red moodlights on the shelf. Anyone know what bulb # is in the '85 chevy dash. I think it's a 194. Am I right :?:
