fixed it All testing of the alternator was done with the alternator still in the vehicle using a meter. This showed no current being generated. I got in there yesterday afternoon to take the alternator out and found a spot on the main lead wire that had rubbed through and caused a dead short...

My alternator has stopped charging. Keep in mind that is also powering a hydraulic dump 24V power pack should I try to rebuild or upgrade to a modern style alternator like I have seen in the classifieds? Does anyone here rebuild alternators? I have found several places selling good used takoff's...

theft The Deputy I spoke with believed it was the work of teenagers with no pre-planning involved. I already had intentions of moving the truck but, that was his advice. He figured they might come back prepared with bolt cutters next, since they had already seen the security feature in place.

M35 I appreciate the advice and am in the process of installing a master switch. I have also moved the truck to my place where I have already installed three well concealed digital game cameras. I put them in back when diesel was at $5.00 a gal. and someone syphoned my backhoe and pickup dry.

Someone attempted to steal my M35a2 in the last few days. :evil: It was parked at my fathers house. Since he was at the VA monday and home all day sunday I figure the attempt was made sometime during the day monday. The steering wheel is badly broken. To add insult to injury they also slashed...

M35 Max scaled load so far was 25322 GVW with roughly 13280'ish being the truck, fuel and yours truly. So far a equalizer has not proved to be necessary. The lifts are even and smooth side to side. I removed the bumperettes and pintle just incase of clearance issues. I plan on reinstalling the...

m35 When I started figuring on the needs for the hydraulics I looked at my legal max weight and subtracted the weight of the truck. 26000 lbs. max legal weight without a CDL and the truck weights 13000 lbs. so the max I can legally carry would be 13000 lbs. I set the hydraulics up for a max...

M35 Ol'Smokey has done good. I enjoy the **** out of driving it. I need to find me another one to make into a toy. I hate to put the bigger tires on this one. It's almost to tall for me to load with my little backhoe as it is. But, I think it's going to get one of the 24V 12000 lbs. milemarker...

Bigger pics maybe??? http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee336/shadroe/M35A2%20Dump/0111001539a2jpgDad2.jpg?t=1266820500 http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee336/shadroe/M35A2%20Dump/01020015571jpgDadandtruck.jpg?t=1266820575...

I purchased this truck from a fellow member last summer. Worked on it off and on all through the fall in an attempt to make her dump. Last month my dad and I finished that phase of the project and so here are a few pics. More mods to follow and hopefully another truck to follow as well. That's...
