you have 1028 with 24 v ambulance charging system with duvac. search the word and you will get lots of hits.
i have a ambulance with the same charging system. this is what i would do first. measure voltage at each battery when running. front battery usually has the problem. should be 13.8 to 14.5 running. check all fuses, makes sure gages work. the top alternator charges the front battery. do that and see what happens. thanks. mark

somebody did away with the original system that truck had. originally the top alternator charged the front battery and the bottom alt charged the back. the front ran the truck, the back just the starter the way i understand it. i think they must be using one 24v alternator to charge the two batteries. i dont know what to tell you. sorry

It does seem that you have a hacked up system. Between that and your way out there spelling, I have no clue what your problem is. Can you post a picture or two of the alternators and batteries?

 

[murryinmcminnvilletn]

Iam sorry guys I use a cell can't send pics on to steel so I don't know what to do I can send email and text messeges but I can't upload them to here if u want a pic of the wire or batterys give me a holler figer some way to send it thank every one help

you only have one alternator? if you look at your batteries is there a short cable that goes from the positive to the negative posts?

batts

Yes it does and then a wire goes to the 12 volt block for main lighting and truck systems no if u disconect this wire to that batt it will die the truck iam trying to figer out how it runs back that way it also had ac for the shelter carrier on the back

Here are his pictures. Hmm, well it seems only 1 of the 3 he sent me will load up.

pull the 6 8mm bolts that hold the regulator on top of the alternator, pull it straight up, see what position the lug is in. lo-med-hi. move it around and see if anything changes with out put. if you can determine that the regulator itself is bad it can be replaced. thanks
