I do know a guy who is about an hour away who know's a lot about CUCV's. But I did find all of the bad fusible links and fixed them. It now starts and seems to work just fine. I think the last fusible link that went was because I had part of the positive wire touching the alternator. But now...
It was a pain just trying to find someone who would test an isolated ground alternator. No one had ever tested one before. In fact it took a few days just to find one person who would give it a try. I brought some articles and my TM's with me and we had to figure this thing out together. But...
Here is an update - I took the alternators off and had them tested and I also had my original ones tested. One of my original Alt's is good and the new ones tested as good. Since I was working on my truck I thought it would be good to add a new starter relay and I did the doghead mod. When I...

I have found any mechanic I do have look at it knows less then I do about the truck and I...
They look very close. The only real difference is that it takes a different mounting bolt at the top of the alternator. All the connections on the back seem to be very close.
I bought them because they are supposed to be OEM CUCV replacement alternators this way I could rebuild the old ones when I had the chance and have a back up.
So I do not need that suppressor wire at all? And having hooked up could that have messed something else up?
This is what I bought...
Here is a background my problem.
Two weeks ago I tried to start my truck and I had no power, did some testing and found that my alternators were out but I also noticed that a wire with what looked like a resistor attached going between the positive and negative bus bar was broken this wire is...
