    33si alternator installation question

    It's a one wire installation. One positive and the ground. The smaller two wires you just tape off and fold back and tape again. They are not used with the new setup. Its that easy.

    Moderators~ Time for a Generator only forum!?

    I think it would be easier to move the non-Generator threads.

    Air dryer freeze up and other problems

    I cannot say it enough that I should have upgraded the alternator sooner. With the new 100A alternator, I now have piece of mind and a better truck.

    I thought it was funny that they installed Artic kits for trucks in the low desert.

    If you want a deal on a great meter on the bay. Surplus Fluke 27/FM DMM Built for the Military and are built like bricks. Case twice as thick as civilian models and OD Green. I found several from a seller that were NOS and never issued. I bought all he had. They are older but still hold...

    Upgrading a M923A2 for Fire Department Usage

    Get a NATO slave plug and wire the battery maintainer through it. Easy plug in and quick disconnect from the truck using the slave port.

    Upgrading a M923A2 for Fire Department Usage

    Yes. They suck and are famous for it. I had read about their problems but ignored it since my original worked. When mine fried itself (literally) it also cooked a new Power Control Box and the ABS module. Now with a brand new (not rebuilt) Delco-Remy 100A alternator, battery's are MUCH...

    Upgrading a M923A2 for Fire Department Usage

    Replace alternator before it cooks itself and other parts. 74M35A2 will fix you up. I went with the Delco 100A from him and couldn't be happier.

    Removing U joints on M1008

    I guess it's just my OCD and being in aviation 30 years. Ive seen where even the smallest vibration can lead to big problems. You have way more experience in the truck driveline area than I ever will.

    new trailer

    You lucked out getting home in one piece. Everyone's correct. Truck can pull it no sweat. Stopping is the issue. Your comment of "reasonably well" tells a lot. If something had happened.....the lawyers would have had a field day. Just because you could do it, doesn't mean you should...

    Single Fuel Concept Testing (Army Logistics) CUCVs included

    Did anyone here have the issues with their assigned CUCVs in Desert Storm like mentioned in this article? Wonder if this was some of the reason why CUCVs were phased out earlier than expected.

    What is your voltmeter reading when the belts are squealing? Have you ran out of belt adjustment?
