I'm assuming you are using a DMM for voltage measurement?
The DMM will not pickup transient voltage spikes and it will not show AC ripple - these alternators are very noisy and that's acceptable due to the brushless design. AC ripple up to +/- 2v is considered normal by Neihoff. You may not...
Yeah that doesn't sound right to me either. The E terminal only needs a momentary voltage input to "start" the voltage regulator. Once it starts, the VR controls alternator excitation and monitors voltage, load, etc - the AC terminal is a PWM output from the VR that indicates load. The VR and...
Should be a 3116 by the year. What does the diagnostic port look like on the driver's side kick panel? The A0 trucks have a 54 pin analog diagnostic port. The A1+ trucks have a 9 pin J1939 digital diagnostic port.
All of them say exactly what they are on the valve cover. All options are inline...
Congratulations. You need a new mechanic.
Options are 3116, 3126b, and C7
The 3208 is a neat little engine - 10.4 L V8. Would love to put one in an M1009...... not even close in appearance, number of cylinders, or vintage. Your mechanic....... well isn't.
Before you do anything else - fully charge each battery out of the truck and test them to ensure they are good.
How did you try to bypass the LBCD? If you hook the 24v batt/load cables together one one stud, and the 12v batt/load cables together on one stud and disconnect it's cannon plug that...
