You can leave the cap out. It shouldn't affect anything unless you are running a 24V radio.

Back during Charlie, I lived on the east side of Orlando. Our power was out for three days. My neighbors were all sitting in line at near by gas stations that had power for hours. My wife asked me what I was going to do about gas for the generator? I told her I'm going to get on the east-west...

The alternators are the same p/n.

You can search rebuild kit for a Delco 27SI/100. Something should pop up.

You have to blip the accelerator to make the alternator spin fast enough to generate the internal voltage necessary to operate. All the excite wire does is switch on the regulator. The regulator is powered internally by the trio, the original regulators took more volts to start operating. The...

If the light is on, the regulator should turn on with the engine running. Do this test to see if the alternator works: Alternator test on the vehicle.

So, does this mean Chevrolet pickups, misc. cars, trucks, etc. are not legal either, if they have a US Government data plate?

The seat is a big improvement.

Check your alternators and make sure they are working. Follow this test procedure, Alternator test on the vehicle. If they are working in the test, you can buy a self-exciting regulator instead of buying the whole alternator. The regulator you are looking for is a WAI D10SE12. These are simple...

What was the reason for denying the transfer?

DOT 5 is what causes the rust problems. Since it does not absorb water, the water that gets into the system, settles to the bottom of wheel cylinders, master cylinder, etc. No amount of bleeding will remove it because the bleed screw is at the top of the wheel cylinder and water is heavier than...

Ford vs GM. Obvious out come. :ROFLMAO:😂

The regulator set point is 14.8. The regulator I included in my kits is a D101HD. Click here for the data sheet.

It was there when I got the truck from the military. I don't remember which tank it is. I'll take a picture next time I'm where the truck is.

My M915A1 has a quick connect air fitting on the tank behind the driver side step that goes up to the walking plate. I put together two male air fittings so I can connect two air hoses to supply air to the truck.

With full vacuum on the transmission, it shifts almost immediately to 3rd gear. That causes the torque converter to slip until the truck is moving fast enough for it lock up. My M1028A2 has high ratio differentials so it shifts to 3rd by 15 mph unless I'm really on the throttle hard. By-passing...

Plug the vacuum hose from the transmission directly into the vacuum pump and see if it shifts. Start in first and manually shift it up. With full vacuum, it should/will go straight to 3rd gear if you put it in drive.

I suggest you check the voltage at each alternator. The regulator set point is 14.8 volts. If both alternators are operating you will see about 28 volts. To determine if the problem is in the alternator, click HERE.

I can't speak of the light bulbs because I have never had mine out. I don't think the type is critical. I would worry more about the plastic cracking than melting. The lights are never on that long.

Probably not, the regulator has to see enough voltage from the trio to turn on and start regulating. Initially, the voltage in the alternator is low and the light is on because it is grounded (not direct ground, there is a resistance) through the regulator. If the idle speed is a little low...
