    M35A2 Transport vs. Drive

    I say drive her back. Go and check the truck out, bring lots of fluids, tools, and some camping gear. I assume you will have a chase vehicle? Its not required but makes for a better trip. Plan your route, get some names and phone numbers of some people from here along your route in case you...

    Voltage regulator of generator problem?

    So I have an almost new generator/alternator that is not putting out any voltage. Truck running and batteries disconnected, the voltage is 0. Truck running and batteries hooked up 23.8 volts. My question is could in be a regulator problem, or is it the generator? Not even sure where the reg is?

    Low voltage?

    Well after doing some more checking, the little wire that shows no voltage with engine off, shows 23.92 volts with ACC on, and drops to 23.82 running. When I disconnect the the battery while the engine is running, it shows no voltage anywhere. So this means the alternator is not putting out...

    Low voltage?

    Okay so I attached a volt meter to the little wire (586 ?) that shows no voltage when motor is off. Then while idling ~100rom it showed 23.8 I removed the allen plug and turned the adjustment screw quite a bit with no change in voltage in either direction? Any ideas???

    Low voltage?

    Boatcarpenter, I did not mean it in a smart way, sorry. I greatly appreciate everyones help here. i just ment that the TM does not give a way to adjust the voltage, just to diagnose a problem. However, I already had the problem nailed to the alternator.

    Low voltage?

    I have read the TM, and it never states how to adjust the alternator, just says replace.

    Low voltage?

    Thank you, I will try that tonight. I assume clockwise increases voltage output? Turn it until I reach 28 volts? Should the truck be idleing at any particular speed?

    Low voltage?

    Okay, I wonder if something fried because of the pinched wire? Or would that kill all output?

    Low voltage?

    I have a deuce that the voltage meter seems to drop over time. One time it was no longer reading and my headlights were very dim. Found a small wire that was pinched on the alternator cap (was ground out and sparking). I repaired it, charged the batteries and all was good for a few days. Now...

    Where to get Data plates?

    All links so far are either out, or do not carry it. Any other ideas? Was hoping to get at least one of my plates replaced for a show this weekend.

    Where to get Data plates?

    Mvdataplates is who I have been trying to contact for some time now. I am wondering if he is still in business. Thanks for the other links. Does anyone know a good method to stamp the info on these blanks?

    Where to get Data plates?

    I am looking to buy a few blank M35A2 W/D data plates. I have tried one guy on the internet and has not responded and I have not been able to find any others. After 2 weeks of fruitless searching, I figured I would ask. Does anyone know where I might get some plates?
