Guess I had this tab open a while, didnt even realize anyone had responded :)

The TMs (and respective wiring diagrams) will set you free. The coolant overtemp switch is HT (see chart): Further in the TM diagram: The wires involved are 115J (which comes from TB4, 14th position) and 141A (P7, 11th position). TB4 and P7 are also called out in the TMs if you need further...

As Ray said, its a self priming system. Just gotta let the system push the air out, and maybe crank it over to get any air out of the hard lines. Not really a concern.

I remember the video, but also don't recall the poster. I've never had burning bits, but I've absolutely had a heavily peppered driveway after some burnouts.

There is a Presolite authorized repair shop in Lebanon NH I've used with good luck Jason. Look through the first or second page of forums posts, their info I just shared a few days ago. Can just ship it to them and they will handle.

I would absolutely get the second unit operational for backup.

That radiator nipple is brazed on. You should be able to find a radiator shop that can do the repair work (hopefully, seems to be a dying art).

Having a properly working alternator is best. It is possible to run a battery charger though, while the machine is running, to take its place. The way I have my machine setup is with a dual bank on board charger. It has a power entry port I cut into the lower kick panel near the aux fuel door...

Starting doing some snooping around for a source on these (spurred by a Parts Wanted posting). Cummins wants almost $900 for their NSN for this item... I know for a fact that its a buy-in for them (and of course if you know how to scour the web by NSN, you can ascertain certain manufacturers...

I called this happening in a post well over a year ago.

Probably from scavenging to keep units operating (which speaks to a design which has not stood the test of time on the internals).

All I use is a stack of 6 quality wooden pallets. I don't run the machines on them though, only cycle with dead crank. I will leave my tractors forks under the front of the machine, weighing down the stack to ensure no movement.

I have trays and hold down sets available. Will PM you (owe you one anyways, sorry for the delay)

Have you deoxidized all contacts in this set yet? Corrosion can cause faulty overloads.

So are you looking to fix your alternator, or buy one new? It should be cheaper to fix. https://www.prestolite.com/locator/ 15 Prestolite dealers shown in California

Prestolite was sold to a Chinese alternator conglomerate back 2015/2016ish... I would get parts on the shelf for them while you still can, as this model is "specialized" for this platform only at this point. Others may fit, but I don't assume anything these days in terms of forward-looking...
