I have a stock (unmodified) M1009. Truck has been flawless until the amp gauge stopped working. Vehicle will cycle thru glow plug warm up as normal and the alt lights go on and off as normal. So i figured bad gauge and put it on the list of things to do.

Went out to start the truck a week or so later and had no power to the ignition switch. Checked the bats and found #1 to be dead.

Charged #1 and the truck started right up. However when i shut it down one of the alt lights comes on so i've had to pull bat cables to keep from draining battery.


A check of voltage going to the bats while truck is running gave a 14 ?? some thing volt reading to #2 bat and a 12 ??? something volt reading to #1. (cant remember exactly) Doesnt seem like #1 alt is charging.....but i have no clue if this is tied to the amp gauge problem or not....


Any Ideas ??? Thanks in advance for any info.
