Leece Neville Alternators

[thebird00]

Does anyone have a good source for the leece neville alternators for the M1010 or a alternator parts source for these? I'm not ready to do a 12 volt swap at the time and I'd like to just get the thing charging.

Thanks.

Ouch. You are right about that one. I was hoping for a reman unit maybe even just a parts source.

hey, just throwing this out there, would it be easier to have a 24 to 12v dc-dc convertor and charge the battery that way. you could even run two of them in parallel to charge both of them at once.

Replace it with a 24 volt delco. They run about $150 and you can get parts most anywhere.

desertfox, the issue is that you have 12v loads in the truck as well. so balancing the load across both batteries becomes the problem. one battery ends up overcharged and the other undercharged.

Send me yours... It will take about 2 weeks though.

I had mine redone at a local auto electic shop less than $80.00

With ref to the Leece alternator, I have a brand new one I bought as and extra in case I ever needed it for my M1010. Since I am going to sell it I won't be needing the Alt. Which one do you need the 12V or 28V one? I'm not sure but will ck tomorrow evening as to nos. & which one I have. I bought it on ebay a couple of years ago and it has never been installed on anything. I paid $200 for it and would just want my money back. I'll send more info wed night. Smokey

Both of the alternators are 24 v.

I had both alternators checked and the top one was good, but the bottom one was completely dead. I'm praying that it's just the alternator and not that stupid blue box.

The dead alternator is at an electrical shop as we speak, but they are unsure if they can gets the parts for it. They have not torn into it let so it may be something that they can get. I'll keep u updated if they can't fix it.

I have a fishing trip lined up for the first week in August, so I wanted to get it running by then. If not, I'll just carry a spare battery and jump start it.

Eneded up being an arced wire. 75 bucks later and its back in my posession. The guy tested it in front of me and it held the load. We'll see if that fixes the problem. Thanks for the help.
