Hoping the wisdom here might be able to help.
Have a M1009 and it ran great. Both Gen lights worked properly. Bought the parts for the Dogleg mod and through them in the glove box. Then before I put it in my starter did its thing and fried. I replaced that and everything seemed good. Then the Gen 2 light started blinking occasionally and the Volt gauge started reading maxed out. The volt gauge stays above the green but fluctuates.
So it was just the Gen 2 light doing a disco and high reading and fluctuating Volt gauge.
Then The Gen 1 light started blinking too......
I continued to drive the truck and it started and ran fine. Then one day driving back from Wichita
I turned the heater fan on and suddenly the Gen 1 light came on and the fan stopped. Now the Gen 1 light doesn't come on before start-up.
I dropped the truck off at the local shop. Two of the mechanics used to work on post at Riley as mechanics. They said they checked the Gen 1 alternator and it was putting out nothing. So they rebuilt it. Now they say they are getting 24 volts doing a reading at the Gen 2 alternator.
They are scratching their heads. I printed off a bunch of the info tacked here and brought them the manuals but thought I would ask for wisdom here.
Thanks.......
