Passenger Side Alternator

Hi

I have converted my M1009 to 12 volt with the Roscomm method (#2 on http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/nn10.pdf ). My two batteries are wired parallel (+to+ and -to-) and everything runs off the passenger side alternator. The drivers side alternator is still bolted into the truck, but it is not hooked up. All the wiring going to it has been disconnected.

My passenger side alternator is the only one currently hooked up but it has gone bad. I can't seem to find a part number for a replacement. I don't know what my dysfunction is, but I've been searching for over an hour and can't find it. Can someone help me with a part number?

Is it possible to move the drivers side alternator over to the passenger side? What wiring changes would I need to do if this would work?

Thank you for any help
--John

You can move the alternator from the drivers side to the passenger side with no problem.

Do not get rid of the bad alternator. Spend $50 for a parts kit and rebuild it.

I was just curious, how long did it take you to convert and at what cost?
I did it in an afternoon. I worked on it awhile then stopped. Then got back to it. All I bought was new battery terminals. For wiring, I used the power wires for the slave jump port in the grille. That provided enough wire to make the new battery cables.

EDIT - Oh yeah the starter too. My 24v went bad and I couldn't find a replacement immediately but I could get a 12v right away. That is why I converted.

Cost is a new 12v diesel starter and a few dollars in electrical connectors. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours going real slow.
