How do I upload mp4 files or videos on the forum? Every time I try to upload a video it says invalid file. I didn't know if you have to go to a special post new thread or something like that. Any help???

From what I seen they used this kind of converter in the Air Force to power air planes of some sort? or Telecommunications? I know most homes use a 40-60hz but there has to be some other kind of use for a 400 hz besides airplanes.

My M1008 plow truck After 18in snow storm in mid Michigan a week ago

Found Problem!!! Finally found the problem, I used a jump wire from the positive terminal on the driver side alternator (the one giving that crazy reading of 60 volts) to the battery. Seen that I had 12.45 volts to the terminal than ( truck off) previously had 0. Knew that the positive wire...

The 59 was in volts not ohms. I don't know how this could be. Its the new alternator from auto zone. I replaced both alternator belts and there tight. And the relay stops the glow plugs from cycling once the truck is running. Finally the passenger side alternator was rebuilt about 2 years 2000...

Update Okay so I got a new battery and a brand new alternator from Auto Zone (DL7157) the one suggested on the wiki on this website. I cleaned all electrical connections. Connections in the rectangular box shown in the picture. And all connections in the Engine Wire harness block. I also...

Explanation of Pictures: First Picture: Driver side Alternator Gen 1 (tested clip plug left of large terminal and that large terminal) Plug = 11 volts Terminal = 2.8 volts Second Picture: Fusible Links 3rd Picture: Passenger side Alternator Gen 2 Top Large Terminal Had 22.6 volts, Bottom...

Update 63 bravo, I checked the areas you wanted me to check. 1. When out to start the truck and the truck wouldn't turn over not enough current from the 2nd battery ( not the main, one closest to the radiator not firewall) to turn over. Truck not running: Main Battery (closest to the...

Forgot to mention also, my upper radiator hose busted 2 days prior and the engine bay got a bath of antifreeze. I'm thinking this is the root to any shorts or electrical problems that may have caused the positive terminal to do this. I just do not know how to track it down.

Update: threw another alternator I had off my M1009 on the rig for the Gen 1alternator. And the Gen 1 light is still coming on. I keep loosing power after awhile because it drains the battery. Any suggestions? I know the alternator I put on works properly. What could the problem be now? Any...

Previous history, - Gen light 1 would come on very lightly when my m1008 was running. And my gen #2 light would blink when I would turn on the turn signals after running for awhile. Earlier today when I was plowing out the 18 inches of snow we got here in mid Michigan. I heard a slight "poof"...

My Gen light 1 comes on when I turn on a turn signal or use some sort of extra juice besides running the motor. Any thoughts as to why this might be? Batteries are fully charged and the same problem arises. Just wondering if anyone could give me advice or if they ran into this problem too...

Good tip deuce thanks. The only thing is I need the 24volts to power my blade and salter. Even with two good running batteries, my gen 2 light comes on after a while of plowing. What would I have to do to run only 12v to the bottom terminal? Disconnect one battery?

Found the problem!! Took a voltmeter to the top terminal of the GP Relay. Read 25.2 volts, turned the key on and read the volts on the bottom terminal, 0 volts. Ordered the relay online for about 13 bucks including shipping. Just put it on tonight and the system cycled perfectly. Happy its not...

Crash, thanks for the advice. Ive got 24 + volts with the top terminal on key off. Haven t Checked the voltage yet with key turned on for both terminals. I'm guessing there should be 12 volts in each terminal? There is no 2nd "thump" from the relay after some time. Why might that be? I think...

No I havent Warthog, I looked at the Glow Plug Operation. Thanks for pointing that out. Should help out a lot.

A little Run Down: I looked at the wiki under plug system for a Cucv M 1008. Used a Test Light and figured out 6 glow plugs where shot. Replaced the 6 gp's with new ones (Wellman 070). Truck is stock, no modifications. Turned on key, took about 45 seconds for the WAIT light to go out. I heard...

Keep the Pictures Coming, sweet trucks guys Can't say enough about my M 1008 when pushing snow. I have a Western 8.5 MVP Plus V Blade with available wing tip attachments. I've scooped snow with my truck as high as the roof of the truck with no problem in 4 wheel, and plow usually 6 inches and...

Nice Truck been looking for a M 1028, what did you end up paying for the rig if you dont mind me asking?
