I have searched, couldn't find a definitive answer. I used flat latex on my 1028 about 2 years ago, Sherwin Williams because it was closer than Lowes. Looks perfect, but gets dirty very easily. Looks like it's been dusted for prints everywhere you touch it and of course you can't wipe it off...

To anyone who is in the same situation I was: I was asking if it was normal to get some sparks when hooking up the rear batt neg cable and normal to have 12v on gen 2 + terminal with that wire disconnected. Knew how to wire it up, knew how to test it for output, was afraid to connect it and burn...

Thanks for the fast help, I read the article, but I think my question is more about the alternator than the system. I verified the Negative terminal on Gen 2 is isolated from the case with a known good meter. Verified the negative terminal on Gen 2 is getting 12v from the diamond on the...

First, I know how to test an alternator for function. I am concerned with connecting this alternator. Had a problem and burnt all the fusible links and smoke came out of Gen 2. Fixed all the links and installed a new alternator. Marked all wires when disconnected. It is wired per the diagram...

Will do.

I am sure you know what you are talking about, the diagram from TM 34 E-9 looks like it has the neg. terminal is connected through a suppressor to ground (not present in my truck) and also a red wire to the engine wiring harness block. Is the diagram wrong or am I just reading it wrong? I was...

For anyone who had the same problem, replaced all the fusible links again, disconnected Gen 2, fired right up. Replaced Gen2 went to connect cables and got sparkles on the 24 ground. Traced it to the red wire from the 24v bus to Gen 2 output has 12v on it when disconnected from bus. With every...

Thanks for the assistance. Looks to me like the starter hung up in the plate, as everything else tests and looks good. Replaced all the burned links I could see, connected the batts without the starter, links started cooking and alt2 let some smoke out. Time for wire tracing, I guess.

Have a 1028. You know the story, all was normal, hit key to start, starter kept going. Proceeded to freak out mode. Luckily had a full toolbox in the bed, ran and pulled both battery cables within 20 seconds of each other. Went to check underdash relay. I had already done the replacement and it...
