    Not happy with the new purchase so far.

    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.

    License Plate on your M1009

    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.

    License Plate on your M1009

    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.

    Gen 1 light

    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...

    Dash gauge light question on a CUCV

    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 :?:
