That is a one wire alternator that has no provision for external voltage sense. If both alternators failed the same it makes me think either they are not 24 volt alternators (unlikely), there's a B+ or B- connection problem that is causing the alternator to have a series of load dumps which will...

Same thing happened to me in 1978. My brother bought a 1967 Firebird in Lakeland, Fl. It had a 400 CI engine and a TH400. While messing around with the carburetor getting it started, the plastic rod on the down shift switch got broken off. We didn't realize that in the process it got depressed...

How many batteries in the truck and how are they wired? That will tell you if it's 12 or 24 volts.

Thanks for making it happen Ray!

You should pull the hub and drum together. The hub is in the way if you just pull the drum.

This!

Bring your siren Ray!

Hook it to a tree and drive away. Then look to see if the wire rope is damaged.

Check the voltmeter while the glow plugs are cycling. You should see a large voltage drop while the glow plugs are heating.

That capacitor with the lead hooked to the ground will not do anything. The lead should go the B+ terminal. The can on the capacitor is ground.

Thanks. I discovered a bigger saw blade that would cut all the way through is the ticket. I also made a cover to tape on the inside wall so the debris doesn't make a mess inside.

I'm glad you saw this Steve! When I sent the notification PM's for Ray last week yours was kicked back because your box was full.

I installed the first window in my M373 last week.

No, a trailer.

The latch should release smoothly as the bed goes up. Mine does not make any noise going up or down.

I'm adding a second alternator to my M915 so I can get rid of the pos transformer for charging the 24 volt starting batteries. I converted a Delco 10SI I had into an isolated ground and installed a self-exciting regulator so it will not require any connections other the the B+ and B- to the...

There are calibration companies around that can check the calibration. Google it or I'll give you the name I have when I get home Sunday.

Glad you got it figured out. FYI, operating the alternator with the brush retaining pin installed usually destroys the regulator among other things. You are lucky you had it hooked up wrong and discovered the brush retaining pin first.

If you are careful removing the cups you will have no trouble reusing them.
