I say drive her back. Go and check the truck out, bring lots of fluids, tools, and some camping gear. I assume you will have a chase vehicle? Its not required but makes for a better trip. Plan your route, get some names and phone numbers of some people from here along your route in case you...
Help!
Does anyone know which holes to jump to give him service drive with a paper clip?
Just sold a truck to a guy from Farmington Hills, MI. He picked the truck up in central IL, today and calls me about 5 hours later. He said his master light switch blew up (electronic switch). He is...
So I have an almost new generator/alternator that is not putting out any voltage. Truck running and batteries disconnected, the voltage is 0. Truck running and batteries hooked up 23.8 volts.
My question is could in be a regulator problem, or is it the generator? Not even sure where the reg is?
Well after doing some more checking, the little wire that shows no voltage with engine off, shows 23.92 volts with ACC on, and drops to 23.82 running. When I disconnect the the battery while the engine is running, it shows no voltage anywhere. So this means the alternator is not putting out...
Okay so I attached a volt meter to the little wire (586 ?) that shows no voltage when motor is off. Then while idling ~100rom it showed 23.8 I removed the allen plug and turned the adjustment screw quite a bit with no change in voltage in either direction? Any ideas???
Boatcarpenter, I did not mean it in a smart way, sorry. I greatly appreciate everyones help here. i just ment that the TM does not give a way to adjust the voltage, just to diagnose a problem. However, I already had the problem nailed to the alternator.
Thank you, I will try that tonight. I assume clockwise increases voltage output? Turn it until I reach 28 volts? Should the truck be idleing at any particular speed?
I have a deuce that the voltage meter seems to drop over time. One time it was no longer reading and my headlights were very dim. Found a small wire that was pinched on the alternator cap (was ground out and sparking). I repaired it, charged the batteries and all was good for a few days. Now...
Mvdataplates is who I have been trying to contact for some time now. I am wondering if he is still in business. Thanks for the other links.
Does anyone know a good method to stamp the info on these blanks?
I am looking to buy a few blank M35A2 W/D data plates. I have tried one guy on the internet and has not responded and I have not been able to find any others. After 2 weeks of fruitless searching, I figured I would ask.
Does anyone know where I might get some plates?
