    New altenator

    Check the gauge, maybe just a bad gauge. Also what combined voltage do you get when running? The TM has a great troubleshooting section for this. Voltage should be around 27??? when both alternators are working and batteries are good.

    electric fans

    I would think "preheating" with a block heater would help the cold issues... We don't get brutual cold in this part of Texas. We had a couple 20 degree days. I just start the truck before the morning Sh*t, shower and shave..... normally toasty warm when I hop in. I do leave the chain around...

    electric fans

    If your cooling system is working properly no reason to spend the money. Are you running HOT? These engines aren't putting out massive HP's so the heat is controllable with the stock fan. If your trying to "add" HP.... with the electric fans, I thnk you might see a very small gain, but it's one...

    New toy I just got

    Haven't heard the Hummer runs 24vlt GP's..... What part number are they? A/C ???? I just did the GP replacement with the A/C 60G's, but need to do the 12volt conversion to the circuit for them. Maybe just replace with the 24 vlt from Hummer

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Finally got around to changing rear diff fluid..... I "learned" that the front and rear diffs take different gaskets, also discovered the rear diff housing was "damaged" looks like it bottomed out and the cover took a good hit, bent but not leaking I decided to purchase "new" cover. O'reilly...

    New toy I just got

    Allen, Great looking truck!!! Get the TM and read about the circuits Find out what is still 24v and what was changed to 12vlt, using a voltmeter. I suggest you convert all abck to 24v... MUCH easier to troubleshoot with the TM's GOOD LUCK
