I imagine they swapped the old starter already. I know the place they got the new one from and they take cores to rebuild. Right now im running 12v to the starter. I took the starter wire off the block on the firewall and attached it to the front battery. Im assuming its no differentthan a...

I just had 1100 dollars worth of work to the truck done. The biggest one was them drilling out a broken starter bolt and having to retap both. They replaced the starter because they said the holes were messed up and it wasnt fitting correctly. So, basically I was a huge pain in their ass for a...

Is it as simple as running a voltmeter across the rear battery when the truck is runing? haha

Also guys could you link me to the appropiate tm? im clicking the ones on the wiki at the top of the forums, but they just send me back to the main site. Also any tips how i can test the alt if i can get my hands on a voltmeter myself? id rather not have to take it off the truck and bring it to...

heh. Well, i cleaned up all the contact, and even tightend the belt, because i noticed it was a little loose. Still comes on and off. I noticed it goes on and off when im driving, but if it comes on when the truck is stopped, itll stay on until i rev the motor. If she comes on at a stop, the...

Oh yes, duh, forgot about the starter.. Kinda got sidetracked thinking of the plugs.

ah. so theyre still 12v, just go off the front batt instead of going from both thats reduced to 12. So, what is my rear battery doing now then?

Thanks man

So if mine is bypassed.. theyre 24v? im a little confused. And i cleaned up the contact real good on the battery. Put it all back together and she only blinked once, then i drove around and couldnt get her to reproduce the problem so ill keep my eye on it.. Although.... the little plastic...

Thanks, will do! So.. my glowplugs.. suppose to be 24v? and are they still? Its only for jumping other trucks right?

So, if it stays disconnect.. its fine for the truck? How would it be used? Its suppose to attach to the slave term on the grille or..?

Got a picture, anyone know? It looks like its actually a red wire.. (But who knows)

Honestly i havent looked yet. Not sure if its just bolts and honestly its hot and im really shot :P I guess i should look though right? haha. And the belts are sufficently tight.

Hello, quick question. (And ive searched) My gen 2 light is coming on and off intermittenly, sometimes staying on if i have the truck parked, though can rev the motor and itll turn back off. Sometimes the voltmeter will actually show in increase in the volts then what its suppose to be when it...

Man, thanks for the info, yeah maybe the new alt is acting different but mine always reached that tick. Ill test em out

have em tested and/or take em back

Yeah, guess ill re-adjust. Any easy way to do it alone? I cant quite get it all the way over. I did think i heard it rubbing.

also forgot to mention i think i have a Lift pump leak as well. I have deisel leaking upon startup from the front pass side of the block. It looks like its pooling on top of the crossmember and leaking down. Didnt look like the any lines were leaking but the pump is damp. Couldnt quite get in...

So, i just replaced my driver side alt, had it rebuilt. Its been fine for a few days. Now im driving and sometimes while im stopped at a light, ill notice the voltmeter drops below the little line mark and is just in the green (almost like only one alt is charging) Yet, no alt lights come on. I...

Actually, only noticed it dropped with the glow plugs kicking on and off after first starting, thats it.
