Yep, that is my solution for now. Leave the working one on the driver side and plug the other one. Sucks, I hate doing that for an extended drive but hopefully it wont rain and all will be good.
When I get back, I am going to swap to electric. That has always been the plan but those little...
When I get back, NAPA will be able to get what I need. They can't get anything here by the time I leave for vacation.
Anyone at all ever pulled one of these apart and got it working again?
One more, hopefully, question.
Would it hurt to run an additional (heavier gauge) wire from the alternator output to the starter? I would think that would help with amperage going back to the house batteries.
I want to keep the wiring going through the PCB but still have full amperage from...
Has anyone ever rebuilt the air windshield wipers on these 5 tons?
My passenger wiper is leaking air out of the exhaust port, continuously. It drains the primary tank in about 15 minutes once I turn the truck off. I opened up the wiper motor in question, (took the top piece off where the air...
Looks clean. Nicely done.
Is that a hot cable running directly to the starter from the bottom alternator? Where is the top alternator's hot wire going? Just curious.
It looks like you have the 568 wire (the one with the waterproof plug) connected. Is that the "current output wire" you are...
l am converting my M934A2 into an RV. I have already swapped the four starter batteries for two group 31 batteries. I have run 4/0 wires from the batteries back to the rear of the Van portion to charge the house batteries with the alternator (I also have a battery isolator/charger inline). I...
I have a Case CX135SR excavator I purchased in Virginia. Looking to see if anyone can help get it back or suggest a reasonable hauling company/agent. Item stats:
Weight: 31,000 lbs
Length: 23'9"
Width: 8'6"
Height: 9'0"
It is ready for pickup as soon as possible and it can take however...
I purchased a secondary tank for my truck. The sending unit is toast and all the other lines are cut. I also don't know specifically what parts I need to convert to dual tanks. Has anyone done this and know what parts I need to purchase? I found some parts but I am unsure so I am looking...
Looking to get my 1992 M934A2 insured as a Class C RV. I already have it registered with the state as a Class C RV but so far nobody wants to insure it. Anybody have suggestions on which insurance might cover it?
BTW, I converted the cab/van portion to a walkthrough. Hence, Class C.
Not showing the capacitor in the schematics is not necessarily Bad but it is an unknown and unknowns make it more difficult to troubleshoot an issue I (for those of us who do not normally work on these or similar items). It seems to have been installed during a reset at Letterkenny so they put...
I am going to assume since you looked at the TM, and didn't mention seeing a capacitor, it doesn't show one? :)
I rotated the new alternator housing 180 degrees as suggested, installed it as is (no capacitor), and it is charging the batteries and putting out 28volts. I don't think the old...
Hmmm, so maybe they started putting the capacitors in around 2010? The -24P I have is October 1996 version. It is the one I got off this site so I imagine everyone is using the same older TM. I wonder if there is a newer one that was made or had a posted change done around 2010. I'll have to...
Yes, the top part number is the alternator I ordered and received. It did not come with the capacitor which was the reason I was asking. I did not see it in the 24P either. Sooooo, I guess that means we don't know why Letterkenny put one on the original (to me) alternator.
It seems the...
That may be Guyfang. I simply used the alternator information that is/was installed in the generator to order the new one. The original alternator has the green over-spray paint they used on the tier two reset they did back in 2010. The regulator on the back has the same model and...
I am not finding a cross reference for the capacitor that is on the alternator. Leese Neville shows capacitor part number as: 0844474C02S
I called auto zone and napa and they do not show anything on the part number or name. Has anyone needed to purchase a replacement capacitor and/or do you...
I tested the alternator. No go. It is dead. I ordered a new one. $127 including shipping, from the UK. The only thing it needs is the pulley and a capacitor. It is an exact match. I'll let you know how it goes when I get a chance to install and test it. Thank you for the help.
I also...
Thanks. I live in a very rural area. No alternator shop is close unfortunately. Sometimes living rural, you gotta pay extra for what you want. I choose to live here anyway. LOL. Your help is appreciated.
