    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    I didn't find the site until searching for answers to my problem. Our local Napa has a lifetime gaurentee on everything they sell. And for some credit I did get the right alternators, it was the disgrutled workers at Wilson that made me pay for them being upset at their bosses. Makes sense to...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    The new alternators from Wilson are in the truck and charging the batteries but my gen 2 light is on now. It seems to be an alternator issue still making the light come on. I took it in to get bench tested and they say it's fine. I put my old alt in and have no light. For now, at least it is...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    Seems like this problem will never end. I used the one non isolated alternator on the drivers side to get it running and the gen 1 light came on and after some miles my front battery died again. Now the new alts came in that are isolated and the gen 1 light is off, my lights are brighter and...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    Wilson's tech guy took apart 4 of their in stock alts and told me they found they used all steel bolts where they were suposed to use insulated bolts. The set two asside with my name on it. Should be in soon. I originally told them I didn't want them back I just didn't want this to happen to...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    I called these guys direct today. They are more understanding without the parts store in the middle of this mess. A rep is taking 5 of their in stock alts to a rebuilder for inspection. I will get a call tomorrow to see what he finds out is wrong with them. They say they are going to help me...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    Try telling a huge alternator reman company named Wilson and all of their reps and techs that. To them, I am still hooking it up wrong. It works just fine with my original working alt on the pass side. I now have their number to talk to them directly. Something needs to be done, how many...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    Ok, the third and fourth brand new alternators came in from Wilson. They are telling me I hooked it up wrong and they have isolated alternators. When you check continuity to the case and negative stud you have it. When they are bench tested at the store they have a 12 v output between the...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    I thought about converting to 12v but for some stupid reason I thought it would be cool to keep it the way it is. That link to the Napa part is exactly what I got, they say isolated but when you check between the negative and the case they are connected as I said before. I hope the next ones...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    I did buy both of them. I get a real good deal at Napa and they sold them to me for 165 each. My idea was being everything our local Napa sells is full lifetime guarentee I would never have to fix or by them again. This is typically what I do with parts so it's a one shot fee. This time it...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    Going to the parts store tonight. They tell me they are specifically for a cucv and that I must be hooking them up wrong but both of them have continuity between the negative stud and the case. That can't be right. What a mess.

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    The more I search the threads in search I am almost certian it's my alternator is not likely and iso ground. I hope I didn't burn up the fusible links.

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    So, when I blew the post in the positive terminal block on the firewall and melted the capacitor I double checked my wires and I had the two 8 red wires flip floped. So when I corrected them and everything is the way the manual shows, the Jbox by the master cylinder where the two alts connect...

    need electrical help with m1009 alternators

    I just bought a M1009 blazer last weekend. It ran perfect, on the way home one of the alternators quit working. I ordered two of them so not to worry about the second one going out soon from Napa. I left the wires lay and waited a few days for them to show. So I put them in tonight and got...
