I've gotten them from Amazon as well at a decent price.

For the fusible link info, check this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?122571-Fusible-Links-101

My guess would be a bad ground somewhere else in the system, causing that one to handle most/all of the load. I'd start with checking the ground connections to the engine.

Did the starter have the support bracket on it? If not, make sure one gets put on when the starter is reinstalled.

Perhaps some game cameras to cover you in case things escalate...

I *think* he is saying that he sees full voltage on the input side of the GP relay, but only getting .05 on the output side, which, as already stated, would imply that the GP relay is carboned up and not passing voltage/current.

If you do decide to go to court, have the 'new' mechanic write up what was done wrong. You can then provide this to the judge as part of your evidence.

The stock meter, and bulb, are 12v parts. The meter had/has a dropping resistor on the back to allow it to run on 24v.

Throttle shaft seal is a common place for them to leak.

My guess would be that the belt is slipping. As for the voltmeter, you need to take actual readings with a DMM or VOM. The gauge in the dash is not a precision instrument.

Just as a note... the above scenario would in no way be affected by the GP resistor bypass having been done in the M1008.

I suppose it could, perhaps through the throttle shaft bushings? I know they can leak fuel there...

Which TM are you looking in? Basic procedures are in the -20, and the more complex ones are in the -34. If it is not in the -20, always check the -34.

All of the above advice, plus post pictures so we can see what you are dealing with in terms of the wiring, etc.

All spelled out in the CUCV FAQ in the Stickies section. There is even a VIN decoder chart. As originally equipped, it should have a TH400 trans. The style for the body is 'custom' and, for 99.9% of the truck, are built using the '84 parts list. So even though yours was built in '86, it pretty...

Why, to read the TMs, of course! :razz:

The ground for the voltmeter is provided by the relay.

There is also the voltmeter relay next to the GEN2 and starter relay under the dash...

I believe there *are* some, or at least one, 24v circuits that run through the fuse box...
