Which LMC printed circuit for gauges?

Mine has just gotten too brittle. Does one of these LMC models match a M1008? If so, which one?

I'm pretty sure that will not work in a CUCV. Civilian 6.2 chevy trucks with warning lights covered oil, temp, alt & 4 wheel drive. I could be remebering wrong, but I'd call LMC and confirm what is in the 4 warning lamps before ordering or attempting to install in stock truck.

The CUCV has two alt circuits in cluster, and one runs 24v to exite alt 2. I know it is a 12 V alt, but I did confirm this once w a volt meter.

I have a M1009, the replacement printed circuit that I got was NOT FOR GUAGES, get the one for idiot lights, On the M1009, both alternators are 12v, one having an Isolated Ground to charge the rear battery. All of the Idiot Indicators for the 4wd and Gen1 and Gen2 is accomplished in the wiring harness not the printed circuit.

Hope this helps

I understand that. The point I was trying to make is that Gen2 light and exciter circuit are 24V, that is why it requires a relay, and why the LMC circuit will probably not work. If you want to verify this, unplug the bottom center fuse, fuse #12 I think. Below is Warthog's helpful thread on the fuse box to help you find the fuse, in case the writing on yours is worn off, like so many are;


Here is a picture I took years ago in somewhat related subject of figuring out the Gen 1 circuit, which is only partly documented in the TM. The 24 in black marker is the Gen 2 light.

Edit; I suppose the LMC part might work if GM managed to use a civilian part that had oil light bulb in same circuit position as Gen 2. But there are many differences in wiring of CUCVs as compared to the civilian trucks. So it is good advice to confirm w LMC that it would work, or see if anyone here successfully installed the part on a stock CUCV w/o modification.
