    Bus Bars Configuration Help PLEASE

    @Keith_J hey there good buddy! As it currently is, there’s a 12V Power Inverter on the wall near the tailgate area. There’s a Red Cable (from the Power Buss Bar in the Cab) running power to the Inverter. I discovered the Ground from that Buss Bar isn’t hooked up to anything. The Inverter is...

    Bus Bars Configuration Help PLEASE

    A BIG Thank You to everyone that helped, including Johnny Tyler who have great advice on re-routing the Rear Battery’s Neg Post wire. Here’s a short video that explains what happened and how I fixed it. I don’t mention it in the video, but I also removed the set of Resistors and the one wire...

    Bus Bars Configuration Help PLEASE

    Rather than type out a small novel, I think I’ll shoot a short video about what I discovered and how I fixed everything. On a Side Note, the Starter is 24 Volt. The Red Cable running to it, is hooked up to the 24 Volt part of the Positive Buss Bar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Here We Go Again Low Voltage M1009

    Friday I tested Both Alternators and Batteries again. Things still look great. I did end up replacing the Rear Battery, the Threads on the Neg. Post got fried and ruined the threads. That was a result of the Buss Terminal being modified, that’s a whole different issue. I apologize if I...

    Bus Bars Configuration Help PLEASE

    I could do two things: 1. The Old Buss Bar has a stripped Bolt, the First one on the Left. I could take the Buss Barr Apart and Replace the Bolt with one from the New Buss Bar. Then just put it all Back Together as is. 2. Or Install the Old Piece of Metal, with 4 Holes, into the current Buss...

    @cucvrus Here’s the Old Buss Bar. Notice the longer piece only has 4 Holes, not 5? Here’s the New Buss Bar I installed, it has a piece with 5 holes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bus Bars Configuration Help PLEASE

    @Squibbly @Keith_J @cucvrus Someone made a really good point! Is it possible the Old Buss Bar was modified to 12Volts and the One I just installed is 24 Volts (stock)? You can see 12 Volts written on the Firewall and a Black Line on the Right Side of the Cover. The Pics below are from before...

    Bus Bars Configuration Help PLEASE

    @dstang97 the Smaller Red Wire that is connected to the Black Diamond Post, where Extacly does the other end of that wire get connected to? I have my finger on that wire in the Pic below. *There was another Red Cable hooked up to the same post on the Right. That’s the one I fried, so I removed...

    Bus Bars Configuration Help PLEASE

    @dstang97 Hello there, thank you for the reply. The Positive Cable for the Rear Battery is currently running from the Positive Post of the Rear Battery and the Other end is running to the Positive (Top) Bus Terminal Second Post/Screw from the Left. Is that incorrect, maybe I’m not...

    Bus Bars Configuration Help PLEASE

    @Squibbly @cucvrus @Keith_J Today I installed a Pair of Used Bus Bars into my CUCV M1009. I labeled all the wires and Cables as to where they hook up. I think I made a Big Mistake. Video Below. When I went to hook the batteries back up One cable sparked and the end of that cable fried plus...

    Here We Go Again Low Voltage M1009

    Update! The Old Alternator (the one that was in when I purchased it) was installed and Now things are working as they should. What a journey it was! I’m glad I cleaned, crimped items, etc. It was all needed and I learned a lot. I’m still going to switch out that Neg. Bus Bar because of the...

    Here We Go Again Low Voltage M1009

    I’ll go ahead and swap out the Alternator, hopefully tomorrow. I also need to switch out the Other Turn Signal Light. Funny how I fixed the First one and all of the sudden the Second one decides it needs replaced too!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don’t know if it matters, the Voltmeter is bouncing a tad. I don’t think it did that before all my problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    @Keith_J @Squibbly So it Has to be the Alternator. I just repaired the 2 wires and put it all back together. It didn’t change a thing. I had to Jump Start it again. Here’s the Test Results: *I didn’t bother testing anything while it was Off, only While Running Tests. Sent from my iPhone...

    @Squibbly here the cable end that was taped. It’s on there real snug when I pull on it. Should I just tape it back up and leave it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’ll see if there’s a Pin sticking out. I know what part you mean. I took one alternator apart once before and remember that piece. I thought it was a strange piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
