What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

[computer54]

It looks like water in the tank too.

After finally getting the heads and the money, our 1009 is running again!

Glad you're rig is up-and-running, again.


That is one whopping big battery under the hood; I guess I've never noticed before, but is that standard for the M1009?

That's one of the two. You can see part of the other one in front of that one. Looks like original military battery(ies) to me.

OK; I see that second one now.

So is that 6 terminals (3 each: Pos/ Neg), for each battery?

I think you are seeing the vent caps...

Where did you buy that?

Check out the ATS Turbo help thread. I'll be posting results there.

Got my Alternator back from the rebuilder.. Holy crap that was fast.... Looks almost like new..

$180 including tax, a little steep, but they do amazing work...

He said it was 'worn out', something about windings and brushes and other stuff I know not of, and the regulator failed. He replaced all internal components, something about all the above and a trio, and some other stuff, new washers/insulators, etc. so It's basically a new alternator in my old case...

Funny, because I ordered an alternator from Amazon, and it took less time to rebuild the existing one, as the other alternator, which I'll use as a spare, isn't supposed to be here until Tuesday...

Was the new one about the same cost as the rebuild?

 

[TechnoWeenie]

$165 for a supposedly 'new' one on amazon, but AFAIK they stopped making 'new' ones.. so.... also says it's OEM and has a picture of a delco-remy alt.. I have a suspicion it's a chinese clone, but we shall see.... The picture also incorrectly labelled the 'ground isolated' terminal, haha.. I also had a $50 GC to the 'zon so for $115 to my door, we will see... I plan on pulling my other alternator and having that rebuilt as well... I'll put the 'zon alternator on it while it's getting rebuilt then keep it as a spare when I swap the original back in.

 

[TechnoWeenie]

Alternator installed, tensioned, and working great. Now for generator 2. Its output is above 15 volts. Oh my.

Those are 6TN Military Battery's, same way we used them in the Military! 24V fairly large battery, there was a MWO where we switched from OEM GM batteries to these, "More Power" as Tim would say. I love them, they do the job if maintained. Interstate sells them and the are not cheap!

 

[Gralmk]

On the road again!

Been busy..sorry. To answer your question Ahab, it was a police package F150. I hang my head in shame. It was fun though.
