    SAIC V2

    Still looking for any insight on this system. My CPU card doesn't match what's in the TM. The external SCSI connector is hooked into a daughter board on the main card. I wanted to check dip switches but this main board has no dip switches. There are a couple jumpers but without knowing what they...

    Excess military radio equipment

    Gen1 overcharge

    I think we got it figured out. New alternator in. I ran a 10ga wire directly from the b+ to the battery. At the b+ post I have 14.6v. on the battery I have 13.8v. I rechecked my wire and the insulation on fuseable link between the block on the firewall and the battery wasn't the greatest, so I...

    Gen1 overcharge

    I pulled the regulator plug. Light goes out, doesn't charge. Rev it up, still doesn't charge. 12.0v on both pins of plug while running. Alternator cool to touch. plug it back in, and start the truck, b+ 13v. Light on. Within a minute it was hotter than gen 2. I took it to AutoZone to test and it...

    Gen1 overcharge

    New alternator is in, gen 1 light is on. It's charging at 13.3. the alternator is too hot to touch after testing for 5 min. I'm at a loss.

    Gen1 overcharge

    Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something outside the alternator. I've read the Delco manual and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on theory of operation but for whatever reason the regulator seemed to be my problem. I ordered a new alternator just so I don't have to...

    LED Light Idiot Check

    While I agree with what you say about the contacts and the overall age of the truck, 168 are 4.9 watts vs 194 which are 3.8 watts. 168s will produce more heat. I'm personally not a fan of LEDs in dash lights. I put LEDs in the dash of my CJ7 and I just don't like the look. Just my 2 cents

    LED Light Idiot Check

    I put all 194 in the dash lights because it looked like the 168 were getting too warm and the plastic was discolored.

    Gen1 overcharge

    Hi, I want to start off with thank you for all the information everyone has shared in all the threads. I know there are tons of threads about alternator problems and the stickys have made everything much easier, but I need some help understanding where I'm going wrong. Long story sort of...
