    Alternator issue = Very frustrated!

    Thank you all for the input and help! I fixed the problem!! The driver side alternator which when tested at Advanced Auto and tested good was the problem, not sure why it tested good but when I bought a new one and replaced it, the front battery was charging at at 14.5volts with the engine...

    Alternator issue = Very frustrated!

    and also if it is the fusable link, than (and im sorry if this is a stupid question) how do I go about repairing/replacing it or them? I have not searched the TM for fusable link yet, so my apology for not previously looking

    Alternator issue = Very frustrated!

    so Warthog, just to make sure I follow, you think that one of the charging wires/ fuseable links to/from my driver side alternator is bad?

    Alternator issue = Very frustrated!

    Thanks, yes I have that TM, I will look at it again with a "fresh updated mind" maybe I just overlooked something...I think one of the most confusing things is that if the driver side alternator is suppose to charge the front battery and my front battery is not charging, why would the alternator...

    Alternator issue = Very frustrated!

    Thanks, yea I've been looking in the TM's its just so freaking confusing. I hate electrical problems...When you say left alternator is that driverside or passenger side?

    Alternator issue = Very frustrated!

    Okay to start off... when I bought my 84' M1009 the guy before me replaced the driver side alternator with a regular 100Amp from Advanced Auto. The passenger side alternator is still the original. Last week my front battery no longer was being recharged, my first thought was the driver side...

    Electrical Gremlins

    I know this has been discussed to some degree, but not with my specific problems, if anyone has any insight I'd appreciate it alot. The problem I have is my fuse for the lights, in my m1009, melted. I was able to put another fuse in there to drive home from school for Thanksgiving but since...

    Minimal Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) for a cucv

    Okay so winter is soon approaching, i killed two 750CCA civvy batteries last week trying to start my CUCV. I believe I am having a fuel pump issue, or a glow plug issue will check more on it tomorrow. However, not to get side tracked i got two other batteries to start the truck then charged...

    alum rad in 1009

    I dont, mine had a 2Flu brass one which I needed to replace and I got a 3Flu brass...Aluminum is much cheaper, and cools faster/ keeps cool longer...However, it is much more difficult to repair.

    Where's the best place to buy a radiator?

    I had a leak in the same spot it sounds like (Driver side solder joint?) anyways here is a website that stocks aluminum radiators, however, it does not say anything about what this one is made of, other than that it has EOC and TOC.... the one you need is the 8th one down I believe 84 1984...

    New M1009 owner looking for parts.

    If just the starter is 24v whats the point of having a system like that? I mean normal diesels are 12v starters so why not have this one also? Thank you for the voltage specs, no I haven't tried bench testing, I thought about it but the one BO light worked fine so I figured just testing the...

    Chief1983, Yea, everything I have read says these should be 24V but yea I have no clue now...time for more research! =).... As for the resistor bank I'm not sure...pardon my ignorance, but what is the IP?
