The picture of the alternator plug shows the crimp splice is on the #1 regulator terminal. That is the exciter terminal and turns on the regulator. I don't think you can tie alternator #1 and #2 together this way on the original isolated ground system. Does the other end of the jumper go to...

A shovel works pretty good too.

Yes, that is what I did. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?77513-Rear-End-Seal-for-M818&p=979551&viewfull=1#post979551

Rub it in.....

CUCVs are slow under the best conditions. 8000 feet elevation is not the best condition. Having driven a 1984 GMC 3/4 ton pickup with the 6.2 all over the pacific north west in 1989, I can tell you for a fact at high elevation you are going to see a lot of smoke and not much go. The truck is...

I only have a tiny M929... Nice looking truck.

Have a safe trip and good luck with your new home.

The light should come on if everything is connected properly. You can make a test light if you don't have one to easily test your alternator on the truck. Hook it up as shown below. This is a Delco 10SI alternator that I converted to isolated ground. This alternator has the same regulator that...

I don't include the resistor in my kits because not all alternators have the resistor. If the resistor is there, it is reusable. You can test the alternator on the vehicle with the engine running by connecting a wire from the B+ terminal on the alternator under test to the #1 regulator...

You have a pretty good imagination if you think someone who risks his life to rescue an unconscious person trapped in a burning automobile cares only about himself.

It's hard not to like an automatic transmission in stop and go traffic, I don't care what kind it is.

Test using paper clip.

Welcome from Orlando.

That was posted using TT with the paper clip attachment option.

There is more to it than just drilling a hole. In a non-isolated ground alternator, after you drill the hole, you have to mill the boss the negative heat sink sits on down flush to the casting. Clearances are close and not doing this could cause a short because the rectifier needs to be...

Ron may have wanted to have some of his ashes spread at the GA Rally. It won't be the same, but he will still be there. RIP Ron.

Be careful abrasive blasting anything but the case, you may cause a failure. If the slip rings on the rotor are bad, they can be replaced. The stator can't be tested with an ohm meter because of the way it's wound. The stator either works or it doesn't. Unless there is physical damage to the...

M915A1 and M373A2.

I ran WVO in my 1999 Power Stroke for years without issue. I just poured it in the fuel tank when I filled up. Ten gallons of WVO and the rest diesel. About 40% WVO based on the size of my fuel tank. I also ran Jet A and WVO. Since Jet A has no lubrication I always ran at least 5 gallons of WVO...
