hi guys, here's the problem. on my 1009, my alt 1 was shot ( i suspect) so i replaced it with one a buddy of mine that laying around that came off his working truck a while back. my voltmeter is playing tricks on me. sometimes it reads in the green. sometimes, in the yellow, and then sometimes, it hardly moves off of it's resting point, way down in the red.
12 volts to the alt 1 main red wire.
12 volts to the red wire on the plug
12 volts to the brown tickler wire with key on.
i replaced the plug that goes into the alt, as that looked like the plug and connections had seen better days.
now my belt isn't the greatest, i have a new one coming.
now, truck running, i get 14.5 vdc at the rear battery, and 14.3 at the front.
batteries both tested good on load tester.
both gen1 and gen 2 lights come on with key on.
anyone have any ideas of what could be going on.
i know the guage is getting power because when you turn the key on, the needle jumps a little bit. it gets excited. lol, no pun intended.
any ideas fellas? this thing is beating me up.
thanks, pinworm
