M1009 passenger side alternator

[wiccantoy]

Does anyone have a pic of there alternator wired up? I replaced my passenger side one with a rebuilt one and the bolt for one of the wires was longer than the old one. Apparently it worked ok. Went in started it. Found a gen light was on. Went to the engine. And it was the wire that went to the junction on the fire wall on the drivers side and since it grounded out on a steel hose it fried the wire at what looked like a fusable link. Would have been bad for it to catch fire at the fire house. So I just need to see for sure that the wires were right. And at one time it had a black wire on the same post looking like a ground but wasn't hooked to anything. So now I need to replace the wire and the fuse. I so wanna freaken scream.

Here's one of many threads, that came up with a search for "alternator wire picture".

Ok bi just hooked a new used red wire to the junction block. Just noticed there is a blue wire with fusible link coming from the engine harness. It is on the same post. The one im replacing was red with fusible link going to a white wire. All those go to the 24v battery. What gives?? Im afraid to start it and have it catch fire again. When I put the batters back on I got a spark and smoke from near the left alternator. Someone please offer help. The wire going to the block that goes to the engine harness had 2 blue wires going to the same post and someone cut one of them..

Does this help?

Mistaken yes helps a lot. But do you know where I can find the Slave receptacle? I'm thinking I need to replace to 2 Relays that I'm guessing are under the dash. Just kinda confused about locations of those 3 things..

Ok looked and found its in front of truck. No problem I don't have one on mine..

Unclesam colored the wiring diagrams that came out of the TMs which can be downloaded from this site.

Warthog made these photos.

Ok replaced the 2 relays in the area of where a radio would be. Now I started the truck and the glowplug relay was what had been flipping out when the voltage drops. Can't figure out why.. anyone have any ideas? Glow plug relay. The card. And plugs are all new.. alts both tested at a shop. Has new belts by gator back.

Flipping out?

 

[wiccantoy]

Mainly it starts to surge alot like a belt is loose. And I can tell you right Noe it isn't loose at all. Epically with new bents and alternators that have been profecionally tested.

 

[mistaken1]

I am still not following. What is surging? What is not working correctly?

 

[wiccantoy]

Ok. When I first turn the truck the volt on the guage inside is low. I let it run for a few minutes and it goes into the green. Than if I turn on the headlamps, the blinkers, and say the wipers the volts go way way down and the gar starts to surge and make noise. The gar is new. So I have no idea what's going on. The connections are clean on gar and the battery's.

If You want pm me your phone nuber and ill call you. Cause I can't speed the sounds it makes

 

[mistaken1]

The gar starts to surge and make noise? The glow plug relay? The glow plug relay is energized at all times when the key is on (pink/black wire). The glow plug controller grounds the light blue wire to energize the relay. Is there a problem where that relay is energized at all times? What happens if you remove the glow plug feed from that relay an try you lights/wipers test? I am working a command center at the moment .....

 

[wiccantoy]

So are u sudjesting I start it and pull the blue wire off and try all the lights, wipers etc??

 

[wiccantoy]

Ain in the but sometimes.And yes gpr **** auto spell on my phone is a pain sometimes

 

[wiccantoy]

See just what I was saying. Auto spell can be a real pain in the rear. Now this better come out the way I type it this time...

 

[mistaken1]

I was looking at removing the large feed wire so that even if the relay is case grounded no power could get to the glow plugs. Do you have handheld volt meter? If so you can just measure on the glow plug side of the relay to if it is getting power to the glow plugs all of the time.

If you remove the light blue wire and the relay is energized you may feel/hear it drop out.

Which wire should I check? I do have the tools to check it.
