Thanks you guys, I forgot to mention i replaced all the fuses. I did not clean them up though. I need to. About to jump under it and put a meter on the starter to if i have power there. I'll do these and get back to you, thanks. ETA; cleaned fuse contacts, put meter on starter relay wires...

double post again

Warthog or anyone else have anymore insights? I have looked at both the FAQ's, read i don't know how many diagrams till i can't see straight. Looked at the trouble shooting sections of the manuals. Replaced every fusible link i could find. Replaced the Starter relay, glow plug relay. and...

double post

Yes i followed your thread to help me. Glad you got it figured out. I checked that one too. It looks good but i think i'll replace it anyway. Im gonna check the connections on the starter too. Don't know what else to do.

Well I have replaced all the fusible links (i think) that i fried when i banged the mounting bracket with the wrench while attached to the alternator. I replaced the glow plug relay too. Dead truck. The dash lights/wait light comes on and goes out, but nothing happens when i turn key, and the...

I called rick in hillsboro, he gave me some good insights and help as did you guys here. Looks like i'll be renting a tow dolly and taking it down there later this week. Does anyone on here have a pic of one of these "fuse-able links". I'm looking all over my truck and all i see are a bunch of...

Thanks, I have another question, in your first post back to me you said it doesn't need batts. to run or the alternators. How will the starter turn without power from the batts.? Or am I misunderstanding? I was thinking of having the alts. bench tested locally in case its not them. Replace the...

It started to turn over but didn't, the above posts were telling me my alternators. They said look at the volt meter, i did and with the batts fully charged it read zero. So i thought i would take them in for a bench test. I already put in a new starter relay. And GPR using the ones reccomended...

Well guys i just went from bad to worse all on my own. I charged the batteries one at a time. Wait lights and all light up and go out, but still dead. I figured it was alternators so I took out the driver side one, then went to do the passenger side one,,, I was loosening the the double red...

Thanks allot for your help. My charger is a "smart charger" it has a 2, 10, 25 amp setting. It was on the 2.5 on its own. Any reason I shouldn't use the 10 amp setting on the charger? thanks.

Problem this morning, need help./ Update! Truck runs ,Update in original post. The batts. were dead. Maybe due to new alt. belts i put on that weren't tight enough. Maybe due to the main neg. batt. cable not being tight enough. (didn't discover that till later) The starter went out too, but...

Standard is 2 alternators and 2 batteries. You most likely need to change that glow plug relay. Then mount it. Also the starter relay. Check out the forum for this vehicle, the second tacked thread I believe is stuff you need to know/do from guys on here that know allot more than i do.

Here's pics of what i did to my 85'

Stuff I did to my 85' Stuff I did- painted the bumpers, grill guard and mirrors black. Hard to see in the pic but for $40 got a gallon of plasti-kote brand rhino hyde type stuff at tractor supply and did the back inside. pressure washed/dryed the whole inside floor and painted it with...
