Just an FYI for you all. I had a little truck fire this morning in my 1028. The 1/4 inch steel diesel fuel return line that runs behind the passanger side alternator near the water pump will rub one of your wire terminals if you have too short of an alternator belt and you dont pay attention to the clearances back there. Replaced a bad alternator the other night and the belt, and 18 miles later the generaor 2 light came on and the cab filled with smoke. Popped the hood and had a little fire. shut the engine off and then I had a much bigger fire without the fan blowing on it. Now I have alot of work to do to get her running again, but with new roll of fusible wire on the way and $10 in fuel hose and clamps, I will have her running before the embers have time to cool.
Anyone know where I can get a replacement alternator for this? Anyone got a good Alternator # for a parts store? I will be left with 2 cucv's and 2 good alternators, but I need all 4 as you know.
After this, my M1009 starter bolt broke, in turn breaking my starter housing....now i have 2 green trucks in my barn and I am stuck driving a Ford. It's a bad day on the Mountain.
