has anybody had any experience with liquid electrical tape? looks cool to use. any problems or other.
to Warthog, I checked the TMs a couple of times and there was nothing in there about tape
what is the recommended way or best way to start after you run out of fuel? I looked thru the TMs and there is nothing in there about it (and no I didn't run out of fuel, just wondering)

I bought a 750 cca battery at a salvage yard - thought I would have a spare available - in the wiki it says to use 800CCA batterys. - so will this be useless in a CUCV?
84 M1009 -I have a stating problem with my CUCV, I was on the highway when gen 1 light came on, then headlights and windshield wipers went out. pulled over and then unable to start again.
and YES I have read the TMs over and over again on the troubleshooting section - so if your only help is...
can autozone test a 24 volt starter? would the alternator have anything to do with starting? how do you use a voltmeter to test if the starter is getting power from the batterys.
limited experience - thanks in advance

84 M1009 - My generator 2 light has not come on in a while - when I was on the expressway goming home from work the generator 1 light came on and the headlights went out and windshield wipers quite working. I am thinking Both alternators are out. If so what alternators to use as replacements?
thanks
84 CUCV - my rear drive shaft has lost some metal right by the u joint. how bad does that have to be to mess it up. and if it is destroyed can I use a 92 Surburbans drive shaft
thanks
im sorry for the stupid question, but on CUCV - is the starter underneath and to the right side of the truck. truck wont start, no clicking, so I got underneath and started to hit what I thought was the starter with no luck.
drove my 84 CUCV all day, went to drive it tonight and it wont even turn over. tried to jump start it with negative results.
I am thinking it is the starter. any other thoughts or ideas? and any issues with replacing the starter.
thanks
I am a first time CUCV owner - 1984 - I took apart the dashboard to clean all the grime and dust out, after I put it back together I noticed the speedometer bouncing all over the place, and Ideas on what problem could be thanks.
