    FL Is Hagerty schizophrenic?

    I have 5 vehicles and a trailer insured with Hagerty. Vehicle srange from a CJ-5 to a M925A2. Been with them since 2008, never had an issue with them. I am not aware of any mileage restrictions on my policy. Need to be stored in a locked garage yes, but that's not an issue. There seems to be a...

    Passenger Side Alternator Weirdness...

Check the wire on the #1 terminal from the alternator all the way to the GEN 2 relay to ensure that it is not connected to or...

    M1008 resistor

    Just as a wild guess.. Check the ground wire that connects from the engine to the fire wall. Take both sides off and clean the connections.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Another M1010 owner

    Thanks for the information on the seats. I will look them up and see what they are like. Seat brackets may be another issue. Tuscarora State Park is just down the road from us!
