The rebuild kits from the other threads would take care of it right? I was just going to rebuild both generators.

good then I pulled the correct one.

Looking at the wiring diagrams, it looks like the orange wires and one of the blue wires go to the left generator... are they talking about the drivers side or passenger side... if you're working on the truck the left one is the passenger side... but if your'e driving the truck its the drivers...

Not completely its called the 12v buss... I saw it labeled as that in a picture.. its the black hexagonal shaped thing that gets the power wire off the negative terminal of the first battery.

Alright so did a parasitic draw test on it. when the wire that goes to the 12V buss was disconnected, I didn't read any draw. I went past there and figured out that when either the double blue wire that connects in or the two orange? Wires that connect to the smaller terminal on the other side...

thanks guys... I'll check that out tomorrow.

went out to try to work on it and test... truck batteries both completely dead... I put the battery charger on them the day that they died while it was running and took the charger off later that day because they were showing that they were charged...

there was also a vacum line that was dry rotted that came from the back of the block on a "T" one side of the T was blocked, it runs under the manifold and hooked into some connector up front... could that have anything to do with this?

Idk ive never changed the relay myself.. so unless the military did it, probably as old as the truck

I did light blue to switch switch to ground... which is how I read it on here. And yeah I always watch my voltmeter when starting. This time it didnt come back out of the yellow like it does when the glow plugs are on and the truck is running

I ran mine straight manual, completely cut out the controller... I've had relay chatter since i bought the truck a couple years ago. so I'm figuring it failed in the on position... but I haven't been able to find a thread where that happened... truthfully I only looked for a couple hours this...

Alright sooo I live in Illinois, I have a 1009, and manual glow plugs. My batteries are a month old and 950CCAs at 0... it was -3 yesterday. I put a heater in the engine bay, and heated the oil pan a little, and it started right up. When I started it I wasn't getting charge at all... I'm pretty...

Had mine started yesterday, temp was about -3, no additives. ran for about 10 minutes, then I watched the batteries go dead. 2 brand new batteries died in about 10 min.

Thankyou for the answer. Yeah the glow plug circuit has been messing with me since I bought the car.. so that would make sense.

Sorry for not mentioning earlier, its an M1009

Alright so after reading for a couple hours on here, I still can't figure out whats going on... basically, when it started was when it started to get cold around here, I was having cold starting problems so I swapped in some new AC delco glow plugs. Truck started a **** of a lot easier, but on...
