The answer is that on all stock CUCVs (except the M1010) have two 12v alternators.Ok have been looking at other theeads but can't find an answer. Can anyone tell me I
If both alternators are 12v left and right. Or if one is 24v only. Only reason I ask I found a yard that the guy said they are bOth 12 but with the wiring passenger side shows 24. Is this correct? Because odd yes than I Xsan take my sPare 12 and use it on the 24v side.
The drivers side alternator "feeds" its 12v into the ground of the passenger side alternator which shows up as 24v on the output terminal.
This is why you MUST have an isolated ground alternator on the passenger side.
The drivers side alternator is usually an isolated ground unit also , although it doesn't have to be.
The military used the same alternator on both sides just so they could only stock one type of alternator
