Hello, I’m trying to figure out about how much the generator, air compressor and circuit panel out of a M1031 CUCV is all worth. All of it works and it’s all still wired together if that means anything. The only part that wasn’t working was the rpm governor, but I had a properly sized stick to...
Hello everyone, I am looking into selling my M1031's PTO generator head and control panel and air compressor combo. Is there anyone who can comment on what the value might be in a good running state with less than 100 hours? Off the top of my head I think that the hobbs meter said 57 hours on...
Turns out you don’t need that little orange wire. The eBay alternator is working. Getting about 28.5v across both batteries. Nothing has caught on fire yet.
I checked the wiring diagram for the diagnostic system and it was on there. I just want to make sure it won’t fry something if I don’t plug it in. Thank you for your help!
Is this little orange wire necessary? I think it goes to the diagnostics system. Mine is frayed off next to the fusible link, and I’m wondering whether I should replace it or just cut it off and cap it.
Okay, sweet! Thank you for the quick response I really appreciate it! Can you possibly direct me towards a wiring diagram so I can go through everything on the truck side before I install this alternator?
My eBay alternator came in and it doesn’t have this little capacitor. Does anyone know how to test one and see if it’s any good? I swapped the spacer, fan and pulley onto the new alternator already.
Hello all, I was wondering if someone could please post a picture or multiple pictures of how the wires are supposed to look in a stock 24v CUCV? I am installing the passenger side alternator and because I bought it without it being installed, I have no idea what goes where. I've looked through...
I went ahead and ordered an eBay unit. I might send this one off and have it rebuilt at a shop if it is cost effective to do so. I’m trying to figure out how to wire up the passenger side alternator now because I wasn’t the one to take it off and I bought it without it mounted, so I don’t really...
I got the alternator out of the box it shipped in and opened it up. It looks like it was wayyy overloaded or it shorted out. Either way, I’m going to order one off of eBay and then have this one rebuilt at a shop. Some of the windings look cooked. I need to figure out what caused this before I...
That’s good to know. I guess keep it in this location so I can gather information, and whether or not I decide to rebuild it will determine if I make a new thread in the parts wanted section. I appreciate your help sir.
I’ve rebuilt a few other Delco Remys that came on airplanes, but I wasn’t sure if these CUCV alternators had any specific information I should know about besides the isolated ground. I’d like to get it done by next Saturday, March 2nd. Today is Feb 22nd, so that gives me 8 days. I’m debating on...
