here is the link to my problem More electrical probs.... I have changed or fixed the following.... Both batteries, both alternators ( had them reworked ), 12v return wire, ran new wire from negative side #2 batt to engine wiring harness block. I think I have a bad connection somewhere...

Front battery only dude

....funny you should say that. I bought the truck from him...I have talked with him a lot since all this has gone on. He's a pretty busy guy, that and I dont want to pester him too much about it.

Howdy all, I'm on the hunt for a shop that knows CUCV's.....I have John Winslow's number....just wanted to check and see if anyone knew of any places in the Norfolk/Va Beach area before I have it towed out there.

Did more trouble shooting a while ago. Unhooked the wiper motor, jumped the front battery, ran the truck until the seatbelt light came on....I dont get it at all. It's back to what it was doing last month. I will try your suggestion...couldnt hurt...I've tried everything else. Not much...

aua Howdy all, replaced the 12v return wire to engine wiring harness block, the battery cable between #1 and #2 Batts....got in running and drove it around for at least two hours ( one or two stops for snacks and gas ) and everything was fine. Note: while troubleshooting, I disconnected the...

Hey Chuck, Think you hit the nail on the head. I was doin more T/S and found a red/blue wire, from #2 Batt negative side to engine wiring harness block that gets really hot while the truck is running. I tried to clean up the studs on the block, still acting funny. This block isnt something I...

Yep, I took them to Brownings....they look great, I'm still having problems. I dont think it's the alternators themselves, check my other post "running on batteries"

Looking at the wiring figures, and looking abck at when the alternators were removed, I had an extra wire coing from the ground post on the #2 gen. It looked like a small ground wire.....I have no idea where the other end is. Looking at Fig10, it shows that both gen's ground wires go to the...

Yes..seems to be the only time that they do. The Gen2 relay when plugged in, light stays off, when pulled, light stays off. Same with Gen1 relay. Prior to all this Gen2 relay was out and no light, installed, light came on with engine running. Faint Gen1 light when running heater fan with...

Howdy all, I am stumped.....aua New batteris, reworked alternators. It starts and runs like a champ. after about 20 min, the lights go dim, seatbelt light comes on....turn the truck off, try it again and no start. Not getting any indication that the Gen's arent doing their job ( cept just...

Welcome aboard!! I lived in Fallon from 2001-2003. Sure do miss being out west!!

Indeed they have. I've also had comm's with the guy that I bought it from. He pointed me in the right direction.

Anyone out there know of a good alternator shop in the Norfolk/Va Beach area?? Or anyone out there have two good alternators for an 85 M1009 for sale?

When I got the autozone alt's....no dice. I'd have to take them apart to set them up correctly. I'm gonna take the old ones to be re-built. Thanks guys!! Anyone know of a good alternator shop in the Norfolk/Va Beach area??

Both alterntors are bad.....#1 alt sounded like it was gonna come apart while on the test bench. Go figure.....

I have the CUCV TM on CD....I have been using it to locate stuff. As for the trouble shooting trees.....I wouldnt totaly go by whats in there.....The wiring diagrams are pretty good though

No...turn the key and only Gen1 light comes on.....When I plug the relay back in, Gen2 light comes on...and then after starting, stays on. I bought it last July....when it fell out, everything still worked, or so I thought. I looked at the troubleshooting for that relay....it says that the...

As a last resort, I swaped batteries from front to back, the truck cranked over but still no start. Had both batteries checked, one dead, one needed a charge. Thanks for the help dudes.... BTW, I had a relay fall from under the dash right after I bought the truck. With all the trouble shooting...

Yet another battery and I'm up abd running again....
