    M998 civilian alternator not charging - new Delco installed (updated)

    The batteries are locked in on the bottom...nothing is moving. Cables are fine...as far as the heat, that wasn't an installation issue when I researched the build. We'll see.

    M998 civilian alternator not charging - new Delco installed (updated)

    I went with the Eaton Cooper Bussmann Sure Power 21100C00 Converter, 100A, 24V to 12V. It’s large. If you don’t have anything mounted in the compartment next the batteries you’ll be fine with that and the fuse box. I had issues getting it in but it’s mounted

    This is what I did. I bought a 5X5 piece of wood we got at McCoy's lumber. Neither Lowes or HD had that off the shelf. I dynamatted one complete side and then used the extra at the top where my overhead speakers are mounted over the drive and passenger seats. The speakers are in a Plan B...

    The truck had the Delco 21SI installed and we switched that out for a new one, same model, as I went through the possible issues. There are other threads on using that alt in these trucks for the other folks wondering about that above. That alt showed no damage but I wanted to begin to...
