    Gen1 trouble

    Pretty sure that's what I said. No need to try and nit pick. Actually. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Gen1 trouble

    The light comes on with the key, and the regulator, brown wire, is the ground. Once you start it, the ground is gone because the regulator is using the power. Where are you getting a ground for your meter checking the brown wire at the alternator? Don't use the battery...use the block or body...

    Gen1 trouble

    So you do have continuity from the bulb to the alternator plug. So you have to have power at the alternator plug then since you have power at the bulb. They're on the same wire. You can't have both and no power at the plug. It's not possible. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Gen1 trouble

    Just need to put your voltmeter in between and read what it says. Figure f9 in the tm shows the connection the brown wire goes through the firewall on. Back probing that is very difficult so you'd have to unbolt it to test it from the block to the alternator and the block to the bulb. Sent from...

    Gen1 trouble

    Ok so this makes no sense. If the brown wire has tested good from the cluster to the alternator it has to have power at the alternator because you have power at the bulbs. It's a straight shot through the firewall to the alternator. Have you ohm checked the brown wire from the alternator to the...

    Gen1 trouble

    All you need to do is test that brown wire at the cluster to the alternator. That will tell you if it's good or not. If it does not test good, go to the fuse block and test there. If that's good, go from the fuse block to the alternator. One of the 2 will give you the answer. Sent from my...

    Gen1 trouble

    Ok so you don't have power on pin 1 on the double pin plug that goes to the voltage regulator. The brown wire. You have power to the red wire. You do that test with it not plugged in. You should have power at the brown wire with the key on with it not plugged in. That brown wire for gen one goes...

    Gen1 trouble

    The ground is the voltage regulator in the alternator. The test in the sticky will tell you what's wrong with the system. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Gen1 trouble

    Ground comes from the alternator. The test in the sticky goes over it easy. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Gen1 trouble

    So having voltage on both sides of the gen light bulb means the ground isn't there. I use a PowerProbe to test those bulbs before I put the cluster back in. You can activate each bulb. It's not led right? They won't work in the gen lights. There's a sticky about testing the alternators in the...

    How can I test a starter?

    If you have a burned up starter solenoid there's nothing you can do to get it to turn over with the exception of tapping it with a hammer...and that's an extremely short term fix. You'd have to replace the contacts in the solenoid to make it work again. I've done that with several of them and...

    How to refurbish door cards?

    I found some at a body shop paint store in a quart size. I can't recall the brand off hand. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    How to refurbish door cards?

    Only time I've had good luck getting paint to stick and not scratch off was heat. I started with a heat gun and got the panel hot then painted it right away. That worked pretty good but I found my oven goes down to 175 degrees so yeah...I put it in there with the door cracked for about 15...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    I don't think I've ever done a pump where that shaft didn't fall down into the cover pocket. I always pop it out and cover it in grease. I hope it did stay up, though, because you probably bent the pump bolting it together. Thing is you'd really have to ramajammit in with the block bolts...that...

    Starter's bracket - M1008 '85

    I guess it could be a pain finding standard threaded rod over there. I can get it at any farm store or parts store here in us...I'm not sure how you'll get around that since you need that bolt to hold the starter on. I see you're thinking about welding a bolt to the end...if you can weld really...

    CUCV early Glow Plug burn out - What is the cause?

    I got the answer to getting that steel line on...don't tighten the pump to the block...just start the bolts and start the steel line at the same time...get it screwed on almost all the way then tighten the bolts to the block. If need be I think there's a stud that holds the steel line tight to...

    These dorman ones are viton. Used them many times. You'll still need the end caps though...2 of them one for each side. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Starter's bracket - M1008 '85

    It looks like the bolt you're pointing at is incorrect. It needs to have a stud sticking out of the end to bolt the bracket to. It could be that someone swapped it out not knowing it has to be there. All diesel starters have it stock, even aftermarket ones. I'm not sure where you're at but some...

    Starting Issues

    Sounds like you got a sweet truck! I have small 24-volt solar on mine to keep the batteries charged up. Having a wire get hot when you put it under load can be frustrating. Think of the 24 volt starter power as a circle. You have the batteries and the one cable that hooks them together...then...
