    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    No, I haven't yet. Probably should have been one of the first things I did. I will do that next. have been working on the air system. (I have trouble focusing on one thing at a time) Does anyone that has one of these give me a good map of the flasher system wiring? I want to make sure I have it...

    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    So, i disconnected the wire from the F- terminal and the voltmeter is still pulsing. The more lights i turn on, the worse it gets. The lights are pulsing too. I am not sure what wire 110 was for on the 100 amp alternator, but is it likely it damaged the regulator having it mounted to the wrong lug?

    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    OK, cool. I will try that tonight. I was trying to find the TM for installing the 200 amp upgrade kit for reference, but I can't dig it up now. I think I have the right wire on the E terminal, so I will just disconnect the F-.

    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    Is there a different harness that comes with the 200 amp alt? When I installed it, I was able to find reference for the tl35 going on to terminal E on the regulator, but nothing definitive on TL110 or terminal F-. I assumed the wire had to go there, given its proximity. I can't imagine it just...

    100A -> 200A/400A alternator replacements

    I did the 200 amp upgrade when I bought my m1088 because the original was missing. I managed to find a reasonably priced alternator, but it was **** finding the correct pulley. I ended up fabricating a bracket. It was hard to figure out the wiring without instructions too. I am now finding out I...

    On the voltage regulator, TL110 is plugged into the rear terminal with a white plastic insulator marked "F-". TL35 is plugged into the front terminal with the red insulator marked "E".

    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    Oops! That is probably my problem then! I will snap a pic in a little bit of how I hooked it up before I touch anything again.

    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    It is a wtec III. Which is the AC terminal? I will snap a pic of the alternator later.

    M1088 project, no start. Not even trying!

    The reverse polarity box is an unfamiliar animal to me. I don't know how to check that.

    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    Also, troubling me is the volt meter on the dash and all the marker lights are pulsing, steadily and not steady. They are not dim though. Maybe voltage regulator? I did upgrade to the 200 amp dual voltage alternator, with the regulator on it, but was there something else I should have upgraded...

    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    At first I couldn't understand how these all connected, but according to the tm's, cb44 actually is "24v intervehicular right and left turn, tail, and brake lights" for wtec III trucks. Cb71 is actually "hazard warning switch, turn signal flasher, and work light switch". Cb74 is actually "turn...

    M1088 fuse block nightmare!

    Soooooo, not a fan of the spaghetti mess under the fuse block. It was nice when they labeled every wire so you could locate things easier. On my new FMTV tractor, there is one fuse socket (cb44, "trailer tail lights") that appears to have melted. The wire coming off the fused side is missing...

    M1088 project, no start. Not even trying!

    Also, the starter button is still intermittent. When it does anything, it acts like it is barely getting a connection, and the solenoid rapidly engages and disengages. I tried another starter button, and it did the same thing. All connections under the dash look good, and connections at the...

    M1088 project, no start. Not even trying!

    So, update. I took off the recirculating valve and replaced the o ring, and added a stiffer spring and it helped a lot, but it still takes a bit too much cranking to start. I am going to replace the filter housing and primer button next. I have a more pressing electrical issue though. I am going...

    M1088 project, no start. Not even trying!

    I am looking now for one. It looks kinda generic. Shouldn't be too hard.
