@Squibbly This is Awesome! Thank you for the video. One quick Question. I just want to double check/verify. The Second Alternator you’re testing, the one that is harder to access. What 2 points on the Alternator are you touching with the Probes? Do the probes go where I placed the X marks...

Before I forget, any idea why my Turn Signal Lights are both now ON when I turn the lights on at night? They weren’t doing this before. I just tested the batteries after the M1009 sat over night. It did click for half a second. I think it’s safe to say the New Rebuilt Alternator is Bad and I’m...

I cleaned (via electric spray cleaner, a steel brush and steel wool pads) the crap out of all the connections to the Positive and Negative Bus Bars. The only one I didn’t take apart and clean is the stripped Bolt piece. I just tighted it as much as possible with my fingers. I suspect that the...

@Tow4 Drivers Side Alt Wiring: Passengers Side Alt. Wiring: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went and had both batteries and both alternators tested at O’Reily’s. The batteries passed, but the Passengers Side Alternator failed. That is the one that I just purchased from Hillbilly Wizard. I also have 2 extra alternators: one was recently rebuilt locally and the other is the one that...

@Tow4 I feel silly asking, could you explain how to do that/check that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not that long ago I had the Negative Cable for the Front Battery Replaced. The mechanic mentioned the Bolt for the Negative Bus Bar is stripped, you can see in the pic below. I’m wondering if this could have anything to do with my recent issues? Perhaps the connection is not very good. Maybe...

I’ll disconnect both batteries before I do anything. I should be good right? I was thinking, the mechanic said he had to recharge the batteries. I then gave him the new alternator and the rear battery still is low. So does that mean the problem may not be the alternator? Something seemed wrong...

@Keith_J Here’s a pic of the Brown Wire. It isn’t terrible, but I will end up cutting the wire and crimping it. I was also able to figure out what is what on the back of the alternator. It’s actually written on there. Imagine that!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Keith_J glad I don’t have to worry about that Capacitor. Where exactly is the Neg. Terminal of the Alternator? The Regulator Connections, you mean the Two Wires (Red & Brown) that connect to the plug that plugs into the back of the alternator right? I covered the Brown Wire with...

I cleaned the posts on the top block (positive) not long ago. However, I don’t think I cleaned the bottom posts (negative). I’ll go ahead and clean the bottom posts and apply anti-oxidation paste. Is that the same stuff that’s is a small square tube that you can put on car light bulbs? I’ll...

I took a look at the Charts in the TM. I wanted to trace the wires & Cables for the batteries and for the alternators. I took a look at the Junction Blocks, I’m not entirely sure that’s the name. The Positive and Negative Blocks behind the batteries, where all of the cables connect to. I’m...

@Keith_J I do have a Multimeter. I’m not real keen to it, but I’ll see about finding the thread you mentioned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey @Squibbly buddy! I’m still waiting to hear back from my Dad’s buddy, for him to look at it. He did mention checking the Oil Pan Gasket. I will let you know though. It seems to just be one thing after another! I did the math of parts and labor I’ve spent over the last two years. I literally...

Duuuuuude! I feel your pain brother. I’m looking for one in Southern California. Great help is a rarity these days. Keep looking and good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel like I’m just running around in circles here with my M1009! When I picked up my vehicle, to fix an oil leak, the mechanic said he had to charge the two batteries overnight. All because it won’t start. I decided to test the batteries today and here’s what I got: Off Front 12.53 Rear...

.06 due to inflation!!! That’s sooo good!! Thank you for the kind and encouraging words! I found a very handy guy who has done vehicle work for my Dad and his in laws. I’m hoping to take the M1009 to him soon. I believe he worked out in Detroit for a period, either as a mechanic or at one of...

I was able to get the bulb replaced. While I was at it I replaced the bulb on the other side and cleaned up and repainted both bezels. Thank you for the help! I greatly appreciate it!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was just to fill half the tank up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@cucvrus Quick question, is the bulb colored/orange like in this pic or is it clear? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
