Alternator assistance
I'm doing the plan b mod, this trucks electrical has been a rat nest of electrical ineptitude. I've pulled all the non stock stuff out. My question is how to hook up the lower 24 volt alternator.
i have the following wires:
heavy gauge yellow, heavy gauge red and a medium...
Just looking for the bolts... Or info for replacement bolts from a non dealer entity. Size and length.
If worst comes to worst I'll strip the lower to compare, but I would like to learn how to use the system. Am I failing because this part number is obsolete?
For any current part would I just...
I found in the -20p the bolts that I need to install the top alternator for my m1010. The problem is I have no idea how to translate the numbers I have into a number that works. Here is what I am looking for
Smr code PAOZZ. Cagec 11862. Part number 9440280
smr code. PAOZZ. Cagec 96906. Part...
Sounds like you have one **** of a gremlin living under your hood, or maybe a family of them. Give it some time and the experts will start to chime in. How new are your batteries and do you have the GP resistor bypass in place?
The IP looks shiny and new, and I have the receipt from the PO. Same with the injectors. Replaced in early February. It looks dry from the points that I can see. Just replaced both batteries and it starts great, took it around the block a few times turned it off let it sit for 10 min and it...
Just cranks progressively getting weaker. No relay chatter, no sign of firing. I'm afraid to crank it more than 3 or 4 second at a time because it sounds so weak toward the end. New starter, relay, cables, terminals and batteries should expel the gremlin. I'm not thinking prime because it fires...
So I attempted to pass emissions yesterday. Not so good results. Batteries were load tested and good, but the truck won't restart when hot hence no emissions test. aua Wait 2 hours and it starts. The single alternator charges the front battery at 13 volts and the combo at 28.4 volts with the...
AC to DC converter. What does it belong to? What is it useable for? All of my searches turn up something aircraft related. Maybe one hellofa base station power supply? I'm dying if curiosity... It reportedly weighs over 50 pounds.
New alt comes in tomorrow, bought a nato slave bracket, BO drive light, set of BO marker lights and 2 top battery brackets, I have all new battery cable and terminals. I already did this on my 1009 so have experience. Going camping tomorrow then to Vegas, so no time to play yet.
I spent 6 hours...
The reason I ask all this is antenna climber did a post showing the draw at 100 amps 50 per side so I rated my wiring on this. I have circuit breakers for 100, 125, 150, 200 and 250 so I guess I'll see what fits and works. I don't know how to hyperlink other threads, but it is under the Cucv...
Ham comes next and that will need just 2 more bulkhead connectors, 1 for the antenna and 1 for the hand mic extension.
the scanner is multi trunkated not sure a ham can pick this up, but I am woefully uneducated in these things. The ssb goes to 12 watts as I understand?
either way 4 units in a...
Next 2 steps include checking the starting circuit, dog head relay mod and full battery cable/starter cable replacement.
or should I say all of this as step 1. I think that is a solid day of work
Thanks for all the pics. I am thinking 100 steps ahead and need to slow down.
the starter is direct drive, it is bolted good and has the bracket attached. The batteries are pro start 600 ca manufactured 11/15 and 2/16 according to the sticker. They were both reading low 11's voltage wise, I...
