Hey Goldneagle, my m1009 has been converted to 12v and I only have the passenger side alternator. I haven't been out today to check it yet but I don't think that should matter. So all you did was connect a wire onto that far right terminal shown in the picture of your alternator and then run...

Are you talking about the black out light switch that shuts all of the lights off? If so, I'm going to assume that you are installing the tachometer in the spot where the black out light switches are. I'm moving my black out switches when I install an AC kit and the best place looks to be just...

Here's the tachometer that I'm buying next. This one will fit into a 2 inch gauge hole and it's very easy to install. The sensor kit features two glue magnets and a sensor that mounts to the front oil pan bolt. You won't need to do a fancy wiring job with this tachometer...

I'm not sure if this will help you but after the first 9,000 miles my truck began making a horrible sound, like metal grinding from the transmission. I couldn't find anything wrong but the transmission shop did. It was so loud by the time I took it to the shop that the shop counter guy was on...

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dys-ku20040bk Here's a firewall boot that makes the entire job and future jobs so much easier. There's a hole on the passenger side of the firewall that you can install this grommet through and route all of your tubing and wires. It makes no sense to try and...

I've been pondering the same thing lately. The gas gauge just requires a sending unit and a gauge housing mod like I did with the other 3. The problem is the Gen lights and where and what to do with them. If you cut the ground wire and the power wire for the Gen lights out of the harness you can...

After a lot of tender loving care and time consuming fabrication my gauge cluster conversion is almost finished. I removed the Gen 1 light when I did the 12 volt conversion last year. And as it turns out 2-1/16" aftermarket gauges will fit into this gauge housing with some serious but easy...

I had the parking brake ground wire that connects to the parking brake switch mixed up with another ground wire that everyone else was talking about. It has to be a bulb at this point. I post about it when I figure it out. And if I can't, I'll be belly aching on here about it once again, lol.

I know the answer now, it was a ground wire for the parking brake light switch. When I started the truck the parking brake indicator light remained on until I unplugged it. The ground that I was looking for is positioned on a ground junction well away from the parking brake assembly. Once I saw...

Here's a picture that I pulled off another thread discussing the same problem. My ground wire was grey with a white stripe which has me wondering. It was attached to the parking brake pedal assembly with slip on connector and what appears to be a single grey plastic ground junction positioned at...

My left turn signal will not flash, yet it lights up. This started when I replaced the floor vent seal. I unhooked the ground wire attached to the parking brake assembly. (First off, is this actually a ground wire as described in other posts?) At first the problem was intermittent followed by...

question Perhaps you can help me out with my dilemma, please? My ignition key switch works in the accessory position. It turns on the wipers the way it was intended to work. But when I put a piggy back fuse assembly into the wiper slot on the fuse block the key switch only powers the wipers...

I'm licking my wounds tonight after spending all day attempting to install a cd player in my m1009. The problem that I'm dealing with is the wiring. I can't seem to find a constant power source in the fuse block for my yellow wire which maintains the stereos settings and its clock. Does anyone...

When I said better I meant slight, there's a slight improvement in acceleration. I haven't driven it enough to calculate any fuel economy increase yet. Apparently the change is due to one less alternator which bogged the motor ever so slightly. Trust me, it's still a dog on the highway and will...

Did you ever connect your radios power up to the piggy back fuse in your wiper fuse slot? When I did mine the wipers worked while the ignition switch was in accessory mode but the radio didn't. It makes no sense what so ever, I'm stumped.
