Oh absolutely! All of mine get the Doghead Mod! This one is for a friend but it's also on the list. Spent the afternoon chasing down other electrical faults (Gen 2 light) and getting the next in line smaller stuff taken care of. After electrical, it's mechanical, then body and paint. Really...

Thank you for the help guys! Ended up being a shorted out battery. We put the new ones in and it busted right off. It still purrs like a kitten. Problem solved and knowledge gained!

Right on. If this doesn't do the trick I'll continue on to that. LOL! This issue is really strange. I'll be happy to chalk it up to knowledge once we getting it firing off.

With key off engine off I was getting 12-14v at the 12v buss. Once I turned the key on I was getting around 4v. I didn't think about having a dead short in the battery. I think you are on to something. I will pop in those new batteries and see what happens tomorrow. Sent from my iPad using...

Awesome. Ok we have two new batteries for it. I'll get them dropped in tomorrow and report back what happens. I appreciate the help! Travo Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Rich- Forgot to tell you that I did notice a large voltage drove on the 12v bus with the key on. It would drop to ~4v and the GP relay wasn't engaged or anything. What do you think that points to? Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks Rich! Truck sat for a couple of years. Everything seemed good and installed new bus bar on it that was borrowed for another CUCV. The batteries are shot but had it powered off a 24v jump box (yes I was getting proper voltage). Today I ran if off of the slave cables off my 1009. I have...

That's what I was thinking but have power to some of the fuses. Once you jump the positive on the back of the drivers side gen to the GP relay, everything in the truck works and it fires up. I haven't seen this before. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well replaced the fuseable link on the firewall with one that was good. Still no joy. I am opened to ideas. This one has me scratching my head.

We got it fixed thanks to Ferroequinologist! It was a fusible link that ran on the firewall from the buss bar. Thanks Adam!

Have everything hooked up and jump box on the truck. We are getting zero power to anything inside. Getting 24 and 12 under the hood. Any ideas? We're stumped.

I am doing some of the front quarter panels. I'll take some pics and post it up for you. I would appreciate your help and advice. This is my first one so I am learning as I go. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks guys, I have it on the ground and supported. What will be the easiest way to start replacing these panels? I just have a fear that I'll rivet them on and it's not lined up right. Should I wait and set it on the frame to do it?

Has anyone made a jig for lifting the tub off and on a chassis? As many of you probably know the tub is very flimsy toward the tail end. I am having to do a lot of work with body panels (yes rivet in replacements) and would like for everything to be straight while the tub is off. Engine and...

Warthog beat me to it! That's what it sounds like to me too. The good thing is once you get this fixed you shouldn't have any charging issues! Good work!

Also- if you don't want to rebuild it just go pick up one from Autozone. They work great too (as per my experience). It's a simple unbolt/rebolt application.

Yes it worked great! It was easier than I was expecting. Better to replace it now before it goes.

That's what we were thinking. Does it fit the bill? Thanks for the reply! Travo

We found this at the bottom of the oil pan in the oil sludge. Any ideas what this part is? Quarter is next to it for size reference. Thanks!

That was what I needed! Thanks! Ya these smartphones are GREAT to use for mobile searching until you have to wade through pages and pages of TM's. Thank you for the help!!! Travo
