Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
If yours is the original alternator it's a 1st generation. My M1078 is a 1998 and it is 1st gen. If that's the case my regulator won't work on yours either. Pull the plug going into the regulator and see how many prongs it takes. Looks like the older style is a 5 prong connection and the newer style is a 6 prong.Do you know what is 1st gen? I have a 1996 M1079. I have had almost zero time to tinker with it since I got it so was just looking for the quick and obvious fix (swap regulator). If that didnt work at least I have a spare to use or sell.
Turns out that the 24V connection to the alternatior was completely disconnected! There were signs of where it had grounded out in places after it came loose, you can see the burn marks in the photo. I am lucky nothing fried or caught fire. Thank you suprman for suggestion to look for loose wires first - that certainly was the case.If yours is the original alternator it's a 1st generation.

The older style regulator is a N3030 and I haven't had any luck locating one.
772 mentioned below earlier. Not sure it relates here cause your wire looks pulled out, not disconnectedTurns out that the 24V connection to the alternatior was completely disconnected! ...
That's how they usually do it and I am thankful for it. It shows the next person handling the truck what was done before and what was taken off. You are supposed to do your PMCS anyway, so you'd find all the lose endsFloridaAKM said:.... Seems like the Army mechanics liked to take stuff apart, but not put it back together on this truck!![]()
