Help, I have been rebuilding my alternator every couple of days and don't know what is causing them to go out. The truck is currently in the body shop so recommendations will not have feedback until I get the truck back.
Symptoms: Starts and operates with all meter readings at appropriate...
FOUND IT! After posting my symptoms I realized that I didn't have body or head lights and I should have. Went in search of that and found a bad battery cable crimp at the front battery, negative terminal. I guess with the extreme cold we've had here it must have done some expanding and...
I have a 1028 that started up, I moved it, powered it down, and at the end of the day I went to start it. Dash lights illuminated properly, glow plugs functioned properly, turned ignition switch and everything died. No dash lights, no turn signals or 4-way, no relay action, no body lighting. I...
Check your wiring at your turn signal lamps. I've had this problem from wires that are corroded due to broken insulation. Usually the result of gravel roads. I also experience this intermittently when I have a trailer hooked up. Usually the removal of the corrosion by cutting and reconnecting...
I've been through the circuits recently and replaced a bad Gen 1 bulb, after rebuilding a Gen 1, and several fuses, the Glow Plug Relay, and Glow plugs. First symptoms were a flashing Gen 1 light while in operation, Rebuilt the Gen to find same problem, replaced it with a new one and finally...

Has anyone ever bobbed a M1008? I just purchased a parts vehicle that has a good frame and drivetrain and was thinking about shortening it to the length of a M1009. Ever been done? Obstacles to prevent this?
Your response is appreciated.
Thanks!
My M1028 bed is rusted out and I am considering removal and then mounting my HMMWV Shelter mount to the frame of the M1028. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for this project?
Today I replaced the steering stabilizer and front shocks to try and reduce the death wobble. Replaced the temperature sensor so my wait light would not come on when the engine was hot. I think that this is what led to a glow plug tip expanding and breaking off in the head. Also, replaced PCV...
You are right, they will cause a problem. But I have been through the glow plug circuit and not found any problems, next step is going to the Fuel injection area. Hoping someone on here has seen this problem before and can save me some time troubleshooting.
OK, after a few times of starting with the air cleaner cover off I am back to it not starting. I have since gone through the 289-34 procedure and checked the glow plug relay voltages, relay control card, and power to the fuel injector pump (pink wire) and have voltage and clicking. I am going...
