i was thinking no squeak. the belts gotta be fine. i was wrong. also i wasn't getting 14 volts when putting meter right to the alternator. i thought its gotta be the alternator. i was wrong. without the solid ground on on the battery it wont be pulling good voltage.... and im guessing it was...

im an idiot. times a million. brought truck to a alternator shop. the guy felt the pulley it was hot. very hot. changed belts. tightened them up. (it was slipping) tightened up loose ground on front battery. everything is perfect now...

so its constant. when i rev the engine i loose voltage. and when its cold it makes it worse. what part of the alternator needs to be replaced!?

got in the m1009 today and drove it down the road. the front battery wasnt charging again!!! i shut all electronics off and got out and looked at stuff cause i was pissed. the i tapped on the alternator. walked around the truck a little bit more and then got back in then hmm. there is all my...

put in fresh voltage regulator and bush holder with brushes, i got my voltage back! for the most part mastered the procedure. anyone have any questions just pm me and ask me.

yes im attempting too. im going to nappa in the moring to buy regulator and brush holder. im going to start with that and see how it works. with the diode is it suppose to be an equal reading on each pole that gives a finite number or is each ohm reading suppose to be different?

never mind. i spoke too soon, i got it out. now im going through doing an ohm test on everything. i cant figure out how to test the voltage regulator though

got the thing split in two. how on earth do i get the stator out!!!

lost me on the paper clip thing. but pretty much what im asking is what i am explaining, can this be fixed by just getting a new diode trio, brush holder, and voltage regulator like supplied in the basic rebuild kit. or should i but the more advance one that comes with the rectifier and bearing...

its fine

i can narrow down the symptoms now. i started the truck this morning to drive to school. 11 volts at front battery. drove the entire way to school highway driving, 11 volts. i got to school. parked it. and let it idle. the voltage then began to creep up to 13. so it appears this charging problem...

o and the gen 1 light comes on about half bright as this is happening.

o and the lights are dim and the windshield wipers are really slow when this meter is showing the low reading. but if i turn other stuff off and drive slow the wipers will go faster...

did a 2 day off roading expedition and i had a solid voltage reading. then had a solid voltage reading the whole drive home... i drove to buffalo today from albany to go back to school and the entire way here my volt meter was hovering around high yellow, low green. but if i slowed down and shut...
