      It looks like it needs a voltage regulator. They are external

      I think the light is on because it's over charging. If and when the voltage regulator fails, the battery usually blows up. 💣🧨🔥

    I’ve taken your advice “sitting on your butt won’t finish your projects” so I started tearing down a 46re transmission for a rebuild. You’ve been an inspiration for me to start working on my project vehicles again

    Webers are wonderful. It's nice to see Slick smiling at your generosity. If you took the time to measure both the shaft and the inner diameter of your clutch pedal, maybe you could find a nice brass insert. The trailer needs a longer tongue, 2 feet or so.

    The first truck I had was a 1980 luv, I bought it on eBay in 2002 for $167.50. I drove it home at its terminal velocity of 50mph. Rusted floorboards, broken seat and seat belts, inoperable just about everything. It was a great truck…. But eventually I upgraded to a $600 ranger.

    My first truck was a 1972 LUV. Bought new 4 on floor. Top speed 97mph. You know when your 16 you run the he'll out of it. Wrecked it twice...I could sit in driver's seat and rest both elbows out the windows. Well the body shop fixed it and off again. $2500.00 brand new. What deal in 1972.

    @WormdrivE66 2 роки тому +1

    The Gen Light could be one of a few things. 1. The voltage reg is bad, usually happens when you change alternator without changing regulator. 2. The batt wires/terminals are bad/poor grounds. 3. Someone mixed up some wires on the alternator. Good Luck Buddy.

    That Luv truck is coming along nicely. With a good engine and transmission a little TLC should make a very good truck. Had to laugh at the trailer coming off during your speed test, but it works like a champion. That 59 International looks good with those white walls lean against the truck, very good choice for it.

  • @bobtucker8875

    Back in the 80s I rebuilt a motor in one of those Chevy Luv's an the rebuild kit told me that was a Isuzu motor from the factory. I don't know if that was true with them all. You should be able to tell by running the Ven tag. But at any rate great job on the little truck. Enjoyed the show, thks.

    Belectrical tape is my favorite. It stretches so you can tighten it, It's strong so you can bind stout stuff, it doesn't rot as fast as you know which tape, and it doesn't leave a mucky mess as bad either. Plus, as Paul says in the comments, you can cover warning lights with it. I would definitely say though, that over 16V is too hot for the system.

    Man that thing runs well, Slick had the biggest smile on his face as he was ripping around the backyard you can tell he wants to get that “Shop Truck” on the road. And I was watching Mortske the other day and he was working on an International Scout, and he was having some minor issues and all I could think was you oughta call up Puddin cause he’s not only the Datsun king he knows his way around the International’s as well. Hoping you’ll get around to the International mailing soon cause all I can do is look at the merch with envy going man wish he’d be able to send some my way.

    I'm sure there's some kinda monetary advantage to a second channel but almost everything on there seems worthy of the 1st channel. If a guy gets behind on a couple videos it gets a little confusing which channel to go to first to catch up, but I get'er figured out. Just sayin' is all, I don't care either way. Appreciate the extra effort/content and enjoy the hell outta the show!

  • @timothyballinger6280
    @timothyballinger6280 2 роки тому +1

    I've had a bunch of them luv trucks and everyone I've had I've had to fabricate a clutch pedal. The bracket gets rusty and causes the metal to get thin. Then after a while from pushing the clutch in it will get the bending back and forth effect and then break off. So you might want to weld a plate on the pedal assembly bracket to stiffen it up before that happens. Just a little advice from someone who has done it a couple dozen times back when the luv truck was a common vehicle.
