    Switched off is not the same as disconnected, you need to disconnect EVERYTHING from the batteries and then start carefully re-connecting things until you find the problem. You have to be careful with a dual voltage system, remove the ground cable from the rear battery and then try ether...

    So you swapped the batteries? I am just trying to get a handle on why only one battery is having a problem, if it was a starter or any other 24V load it would drain both batteries, I would start by disconnecting everything connected to the pos of the rear battery, of course make sure that wire...

    It looks like your problem is with one of the connections between the two batteries and not any of the 24V items like the starter etc.

    OK so it is the REAR battery that is going dead yes?, I thought you said it was the front battery. What is that cable with the corrugated plastic loom that is connected to the positive terminal of the rear battery connected to. The picture does not show all the detail you talk about, we cannot...

    400 amp alternator replaceable bearing?

    The undersize pulley also causes an error in the tach if you have one.

    400 amp alternator replaceable bearing?

    It is an overruuning clutch so when you shut the motor off the alt freewheels and does not cause the belt to squeak, it is automatic requiring no control or electricity

    400 amp alternator replaceable bearing?

    Why would you want to overdrive your alt? they make regular size non clutch type pulleys for the 200A some have the freewheeling clutch and some don't.

    400 amp alternator replaceable bearing?

    Some do some don't have the clutch pulley, IIRC they are about $5-700 bucks for one The reason the 400A pulley is smaller is because they are overdriving the crud out of it so it will produce as much as possible at near idle, not good for the alt and not good for fuel economy, those trucks were...

    Diagnosing 200amp alt

    That is fine as long as the thing that burned out your regulator was not the alternator, regulators are fairly plentiful but not cheap.

    Also AGAIN post some pictures of your batteries to show how they are wired, something is really wrong if you are killing one battery and the other remains fine

    Again when you disconnected the ground wire it disconnected everything, that the terminal no longer sparks means nothing. Do not do as many do and spend thousands of dollars just replacing stuff, actually find the problem, it could be the starter but also it may not. Do the work and find the...

    Diagnosing 200amp alt

    Most of the time, as in 95% it is the regulator. BUT go through the testing/diagnosis procedures in the doc I posted for you before buying a regulator.

    Diagnosing 200amp alt

    The red wire in this photo is the IGN terminal

    Diagnosing 200amp alt

    There are 3 terminals on the reg, 14V is the largest, IGN is the second largest and AC is the smallest terminal

    Diagnosing 200amp alt

    The IGN terminal is clearly marked

    When you disconnected the ground from the starter it was just like disconnecting the batteries, you disconnected everything. You bought an old left for dead truck now you are going to have to do some troubleshooting, the starter would not be where I would start. You need to put an ammeter from...

    What TSU?

    Yes remove both check valves, replace with a new pieces of good quality fuel hose, IIRC 5/16 for the return line and 3/8" for the fuel supply line.

    First post M1151A1

    They used to be stamped "off road use only" (paraphrasing) all I have seen sold lately have a "clear" SF-97, as you said it is not stipulated on a clear SF-97 My 1993 M998 I bought about 4 years ago had an off road SF-97, but in TX there is an exemption for any HMMWV with an off road SF-97 and...
