RE: m1009 Electrical heck Got both alts rebuilt. Replaced the blown fusible link. . . it appears to STILL not be charging.

RE: m1009 Electrical heck Will do. I've got a hardcopy of two that came with the truck but its a lot to take in.

RE: m1009 Electrical heck Hey CCATLETT1984- I really appreciate all the help man. I would have never known that It was my alternators actually hurting me instead of helping. Thanks, You're a life saver.

RE: m1009 Electrical heck yeah. I know which ones the alts go into. I ran all the lines from alt to batt one day trying to figure it all out. speaking of glowplugs. . . the guy i got it from had an ether injection system on it. there are glowplugs in the block but no relay. apparently "the...

RE: m1009 Electrical heck also what Amperage fusible links do I need?

RE: m1009 Electrical heck right on. SO- loosing charge on battery because I have an unisolated ground alternator which in tandem with a blown fusible link would allow my truck to run and lights function normally but not charge the batteries. replace said fusible link, have OEM alternators...

Re: RE: m1009 Electrical heck from the front or rear battery?

RE: m1009 Electrical heck Will do. I guess in hindsight thats why some of the connections for the stock(read military) alternators didn't have a place to hook up on the civy ones i got. And in response to the LIGHT SHOW. . . When I tried hooking up what I thought went onto the civy alts when...

RE: m1009 Electrical heck awesome. I figured that might be the case, being a college student I'm not exactly able to drop as much money as I'd like on it. I know theres a place up in Gainesville, Tx, that does a good job rebuilding them. I think he quoted me between 50-150 a pop, depending on...

RE: m1009 Electrical heck yeah I still have the cores. So If I get them rebuilt it'll take care of the charging problem I'd assume. But that wouldn't solve the drain problem would it? Without even starting it, I can take my batts fresh off the charger, hook them into the truck, leave it for a...

RE: m1009 Electrical heck Its usually just the rear battery thats not charging/going dead. I've searched through-out alot of the previous threads, but I'm still kinda new to the site. What exactly are the -20, -30? I've got the manuals for the m1009 downloaded but I don't know what y'all are...

RE: m1009 Electrical heck Thanks for the quick reply. yeah: headlights, taillights, blinkers, hazards, running lights all work. When you say cut off are you meaning to keep any flow from going out of the batteries? I'm fixin to get off work and have a day off tomorrow so I want to try and...

Alright. I've tried my best using the manuals/stickys to try and track down what exactly is causing my problems, but to no avail. I put two new alternators and two new batteries in, and I still can't seem to hold a charge. IE parked the truck friday, came out monday morning to start it up and my...

I am so glad i found this site while doing the usual google search to try and find some advice for my truck. I bought a 1984 M1008 CUCV in late October of 08. Had to jump it to test drive and then bring it home, but it was in driving condition. To make a long story short, I've replaced both...

Hey blood of tyrants. I Have either a m1008 or m1009 with the 6.2 Litre Diesel, would it be safe to run the mix of Used Oil and Diesel?
