Do you know if it's an easy fix. Also they can't seem to find a new alternator in stack they can't find a part number either.Ok.
I had to ask. Glad you got it figured out.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Another option is rebuilding yourself. It is not difficult to do, there are detailed instructions in the TM's, helpful threads in the stickies and proven rebuild kits are available through an SS vendor.Well my alternator went out today on Gen 1 (drivers side) none of the parts store has them or carries them..... any ideas ?
Congratulations! And yet:I replaced all the joints in my driveshafts without a single swear word. Yay!
Nice looking bed there. Truck looks great too.Cool vids Rob.
Today I tightened up the driver side alt belt, now it maybe no more squealing.
The other day I hauled off a load of scrap it totaled about 2400lbs. I know it should have been much farther forward but it slid around and I didn't want the guy hitting my truck with the fork lift and the scrap place is less than 3 miles and me.
Thank you.Nice looking bed there. Truck looks great too.
Did you purchase the truck with that bed? Anything you would have done or do differently?Thank you.
Its a C&M bed, I think an early version of these http://cmtruckbeds.com/truck-beds/ss-truck-bed/.
Winter WILL come, right? You can bank on that, but hard winter or a soft one, that's always the question.This weekend, i changed motor oil, lubricated the CV joint at the end of the front drive shaft and sprayed twelve cans Fluid Film AS/R under my truck.
..... Winter may come.
Yes the bed was on the truck when I got it. Arkansas state forest service put it on.Did you purchase the truck with that bed? Anything you would have done or do differently?
The military plugs have the narrow tip - you can do one of two things, get the military plugs with the 3/16" tips, or replace the spades on the wires so that it can accept the more common .25" (1/4") tip. If you have not done a 12V modification for the glow plugs, I would not recommend the AC60G plugs - they are dual-coil self regulating which is not ideal for the ballast resistor configuration from GM.Trying to change glow plugs and believe I may have the wrong ones. Electric tip is wider.

Those are the ones you want. You have to do a one time spade terminal swap on your GP wires to fit, but after that you are good to go.Trying to change glow plugs and believe I may have the wrong ones. Electric tip is wider.

Fluid Film is wool grease with additives, it draws into rust, repressed oxygen and humidity and forms a non-permanent protective film.Winter WILL come, right? You can bank on that, but hard winter or a soft one, that's always the question.
I am wondering about the Fluid Film AS/R product; is that a rust inhibitor or what?
And a "soft" film (as in flexible), or does it cure up hard?
