All better:-D Thanks for all the help!

Found a source for the fusible links. The alternator needs a link that goes from 8ga to 12ga. Tonight she will be back to 100%.:-D

I read somewhere that you're not supposed to use an inline fuse in place of a fusible link. Anyone know why? If I could use one wouldn't it have to be something huge like 125A to handle the spikes from a 100A alternator? (I don't even know if they are 100A, excuse my ignorance) I know there's...

I knew it had to be something stupid! There was apparently some sort of a 24v accessory mounted on the rear of the truck. I know this because a super heavy cable was zip tied along the frame all the way back. Whatever it was back there was long gone, and the cable was crudely cut and setting on...

Good responses! Thanks! Keep em coming I'm planning on testing both alternators and taking the multimeter to the starter cable this evening to eliminate all those as the possible gremlins. Keep the brainstorm going, anything else I should check while I'm at it? I will post my progress... and...

Still 24v It's still 24v, and he intends on keeping it 24v. Any reason not to keep it 24v?

good deal? I believe he got it for 1100-1200. Sounds like a smoking deal to me... Did he do good?

24v Diagram I have the FSM for the civilian models. I'm familiar with the 12v 350s and 454s, but this is the 1st 24v 6.2 I've been lucky enough to play with. I believe that the wiring is correct, because it was running, and running strong. That's why I'm thinking that a wire has worn thru and...

My buddy finally got his CUCV that he always wanted and it is awesome. It is a retired fire department truck from a local rural department. It seems to be in excellent condition. When he got it home from the auction, we charged up the batteries and it fired right up. after warming up for about...
