Your retired any way--not like you have anything better to do...LOL

To begin charging the Alt must be receiving the proper voltage into the exciter circuit. If you would please reread my initial post I clearly state the trouble shooting procedure I am following. The first step is not to replace the Alt at first sign of trouble.

It is not reading anything at the battery. That's the problem.

Gen 1 exciter---what am I missing? Before I get started..yes I have searched...yes I have read Warthogs Gen 1 Exciter post and thanks to his post I have upgraded my collection of laminated schematics. Problem started on routine trip to town. Drove in with no problem. When leaving the store...

Thanks Warthog for all the time and effort you have spent. I have learned a ton. For those of us constantly working on clearing electrical gremlins here is an idea. Some times it takes a while for me to trace a circuit due to time or weather restraints. (I have worked on it as little as 30mins...

M1008 with 33's and stock drive train. I keep it at 55 just to play it safe.

Yes! There is a difference in the way they are bent. I recently replaced my oil cooler lines on my M1008 as well. I had read of so many problem with the aftermarket ones not fitting and weeping that I took the OEM lines to the local NAPA. They were able to cut the original crimp sleeve off and...

Used the M1008 to get a load of fire wood out of a clear cut. The land owner assumed that he would get a kick out of watching some fool get stuck in the mud or hung up on some of the brush once the truck was loaded...needless to say he was disappointed.

Sorry but no..The goal was to get it done before dark. I could hardly get the die grinder in there. Will try to get a few in the future and do the step by step thing.

Ground the bracket out of the way so I could replace the lower oil cooler line and not cuss...added a bit of heater hose for padding and ziptied it to the upper one until I can get the proper brace and replace it....Serviced the Transmission... Replaced both rear wheel cylinders .... hand bent...

Not long ago I decided to replace the weeping oil cooler hoses on the M1008. Instead of buying new ($30+ each!!)... I took them to my local NAPA store that builds Hydraulic hoses. They were able to cut off the old clamp and install fresh hose that was not likely to leak in a couple of years like...

Oill cooler line repair Hope you can source a set of hard lines from a junker.. When you do take it to the local NAPA or other that makes hoses and they are able to cut off the old crimp and reuse the stock fittings--Cost me $15--Keep up with the o rings unless someone has a part number for...

Been working double shifts for over a year now and just picked up on this thread.. Gonna miss ya Tig. Semper FI!

IIRC the M1008/M1009 have 16 inch rims. The hummer has 16.5. However all Ford/Chevy/Dodge one tons had 16.5 eight lug rims that will work and easy to find. The white ones I found (local pull-a-part) are gonna get hit with the sand blaster then some flat black and wrapped with some hummer take-offs.

I intended to spell it incorrectly...I think.

The long nosed hemostats make great retrivers in tight places. I think that HF even sells a couple of types of long hemostats. I have to get mine changed as well.

I had the same thing happen and was able to drill it out and get and extractor in there. I HIGHLY suggest that you wear a face sheild when drilling!! Gravity will work quite well when doing this!! Safety glasses can allow the shavings to get under them and into your eyes. Neither Safety glasses...

I have been quite interested in doing away with the circut board completely. The poor connections of the light sockets seem to be a problem as well as the limited ability to rearrange guages for mods that each of us may make. I have been working 2 jobs so my time is limited however I have...
