    Leece Neville Alternator Voltage Regulator Replace

    It's a capacitor. The alternator will work without it. As stated earlier, it's to suppress alternator noise. Some alternators have them mounted externally. The wire goes to B+, the can is ground.

    CUCV Alternator Rebuild

    The square box in the top right can be removed. Make sure you have all the parts shown and hooked up as shown in my guide in the first post. I don't see a relay terminal in your last picture. Make sure you have all the insulators and insulated screws. The unit must be isolated ground to use...

    CUCV Alternator Rebuild

    I'm not familiar with the parts you have. The regulator with the wire attached to the threaded post is not the OE for the stock unit. That is usually used in one wire conversions. It's hard to say without knowing the model number. The resistor in your third picture is not used in all delco...

    Help needed to stop me throwing money at my CUCV, Hopping/Vibration

    This is not rocket science, just jack each corner up until the tire just barely clears the ground enough so you can spin it. Spin the tire, if it's out of round the tire will hit the ground and stop. I would expect a small amount of run out from the tire's manufacturing tolerances. If you have...

    Help needed to stop me throwing money at my CUCV, Hopping/Vibration

    Maybe the new wheels are not centering properly. I would jack the truck up and spin the tires to see if they act out of round because the wheels are not centered on the hubs.

    Nice looking truck James! I guess you'll be arriving at the GA Rally in style this year. Are you making provisions to carry your atv?

    CUCV Alternator Rebuild

    Once you disassemble the failed alternator you can look at the pictures above and determine if all the insulators, terminals etc. are there and their condition. If you need anything other than what's in the rebuild kit I can supply it. Here is the link to the classified thread on the rebuild...

    M35a3 overcharging

    You should stop and figure out what the wires are before you burn up your electrical system. If you don't know how to determine what the wires are, find someone local to help you. Diagnosing problems over the internet is next to impossible if the person asking for help can not accurately...

    M35a3 overcharging

    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...

    TH400 transmission problems

    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...

    M818 Alternator question

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

    wheel cylinders

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

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