Yes that was it. Ill be honest, havent tested it like that, but whenever i did prior the needle didnt move much, if at all.

I forgot the name of it. It wasnt the regulator. it was whatever was behind the pos/neg hookups. Said it burned out. Also had to replace that little plug, because it was melted.

Think it was between them and the steering stabilizer.

Id have that alt tested, and then check the diagrams.

Got it fixed awhile ago guys, old thread. Thanks for the extra tips though, sure itll help someone else.

Had it rebuild for about 170, threw it in the truck today and it works fine. Ill go this route if it ever happens again.

I always watch when im not pumping, which is never.

Ahhh, good to know, so i guess it would work fine then, but i'd rather have my 100A rebuilt than a remaned 78A

They both a physically the same size, same case, the outputs just appear to be in different spots and theres no "pin" output. Also, rating was not on the box or remaned alt, but as per the cucv article, it says 78 amps. I guess it would work if that little pin is the voltmeter, but then you...

The DL caddy alternator is not a direct replacement! Here they are side by side, im just having a guy rebuild mine... Im sure itll work but im guessing that little nub thats missing is for the voltmeter, im not dealing with that.

And my little plug that plugs into the alt is a little burnt up, anyone know where i can grab one?

I went ahead and ordered that cady alt for the drivers side. Is it really the same or no? I saw the wiki article said its 78 amps compared to the original 100? I guess i should hold onto my original in case and just have some place rebuild it? Is there any civilian apps for the cucv alts? I...

Thanks man, ill rip it off and have it tested. I heard that taking the battery off is a good way to test the alt? I guess not, but why do i hear several people say it? Whats the proper way to test one?

And the voltmeter is down halfway. I also did the run the truck and pull the battery cable test, the truck stalled when i pulled the neg term. So, im assuming the alt is indeed bad. Which one is generator one? And is it as easy to get off as it looks? And if i cant get it rebuilt, any...

****, i can tell you, as far as i know, chevy does not offer that model ambulance for civilian use, just has those stupid gas van models. Part of the reason FDNY went with FORD

Or a junkyard!

thanks, i guess ill get the premiums, but ill need to deal with that crome somehow, doesnt really go with the camo haha

Could be true, i do bounce her around alot too. Also whats this instrument cluster film?

AJM, so ill be looking for spicer hubs then? and what do you mean low profile? Smaller hubs? 84cucv, yeah man if you got a set of the stock ones for the 60 just let me know how much and thatll be great. Dont wanna buy any of that new crome crap haha. Thanks guys
