    Unique battery wiring screw up on 09

    That means you did good. Probably some slight oxidation on VM and gen lite connections. If so inclined, you can probably bring VM up a tick by refreshing under dash and chassis grounds. It don't take much - 1/10 volt makes a slight difference on voltmeter.

    This is what I believe you should have. From your description, does not seem that you do. There should also be a solid ground from engine to chassis or directly to battery so starter gets full 24 volts. Pictorial diagram showing charging circuit wiringas depicted in the TM 9-2320-289-20...
