Easy fix for the electric handy capped enthusiast? My last alternator was bad too I didn't bother messing with it and went with a wolverine unit. This time around I'd like to learn more before throwing things in the trash.
Taking my reading from the top of the alternator and it shows 25.7 when running. The batteries are holding 12.56 charge each and they look fairly new. With that said i cannot get the truck to crank on its own power. I recently had it on a 7hr drive and it would fire up 30 to 1 hr after the drive...
Well if i read The alternator correctly there seems to be a screw where you can turn up the output voltage? even if it was 28, at 25.2-.6 for 7hrs of driving it should have charged them.
Ok guys i picked up the deuce from hooks this weekend. Truck made the 6-7 hr drive back to houston with no trouble. She does have some leaks and the batteries dont seem to be holding CCA's they are holding at 12.5 volts a peice but they wont crank her over.. sucks becuase the batteries look...
Not sure which batch you are referring to? I'm recovering from hooks. Mine came with the drop side bed. I sent some photos of the two turbos to the guy and he clarified that mine was in fact a "C" turbo and the other was a "D" if you check out the photos I posted you can see that it is a "C" I'm...
The guy says the turbos look different. He says the trucks sound identical untill you give it some throttle and mine is noticeably louder (whining) noise. Hopefully it's just a whistle he's hearing. Does anyone here have experience with both "d" and "c" turbos? Would it be obvious on start up...
Yeah the "C" turbo on my last truck was awesome. I'm having the guy cross reference my turbo to the truck next to it and see if in fact there are differences. Hopefully he is just hearing two different turbos. Against my better judgement I'm just going to hope for the best and make the drive. If...
It's an A2 just like my last one, I had the C turbo on it (VERY loud and only saw about 9psi under full load with the fuel turned up a bit) Here is the only picture of the turbo I have.
Not sure what the '87 models have but this guy doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who is unfamiliar with turbos.. Although he is not famiar with the m35a2. Appearently the other one he recovered does not make this sound but I don't know what year model it is.
Well im going to pick up my deuce on saturday and the guy who pulled it off of base for me has been running some preliminary tests for me. Batteries/temp/breaks yada yada. The truck got a good bill of health minus one (possible) thing.. he says that when he gives it gas he gets a whining noise...
