I believe the alternator is hooked up right. Matches the diagram. #2 wire goes from main positive lug on starter (where battery + attaches) and feeds under two screw clamp to lug on alternator under plastic cap. Smaller wire is attached directly next to it and is covered with black silicone...

Used the ohmmeter again between the positive cable and positive terminal of the batt. Read 25 volts. Disconnected the alternator and it reads 4 volts. Hooked up the batts with alternator disconnected and no fireworks display. So, this leads me to believe that the alternator is the issue. Do...

Before we started tearing things down the truck functioned fine. No electrical problems to speak of. Do rectifiers just go out for no reason? Just thinking there has to be more to it than just the alternator.

I hooked my ohmmeter to the pos and neg cables. Reading was like 104.2. Disconnected the alternator wire and the meter goes back to 1 like when it is not connected. Guess that means the alternator is the issue?

With the arc we had yesterday, the batteries have been disconnected. Can I hook up all but the positive cable, then connect the test light from positive to battery without an arc.

Yup, thanks for pointing that out. :? I know how to use it with in home wiring just haven't used it much with automotive and want to make sure I'm diagnosing this right. Thanks for the diagrams. Went through them yesterday and things check out so far. I must be missing things somewhere...

Don't really know what I'm doing with an ohmmeter. How should I go about checking the harness with it?

Okay, I'm going to wire the fuel pressure switch wires together. Then I'm going to go through all the wire harness again and see what caused the arc. Any suggestions besides going through and checking each wire. thanks....

I'm reading posts and looking at schematics. From what I read, only the tractors have the fuel pressure switch. Is that the case, and if so, what'd I need to do with these wires. Tie them together? Wish I had this thing started already.

Where does it connect to the fuel pressure switch? I see no place to connect it. The original harness didn't have it.

Getting the deuce back together and ran into some trouble with the wiring. I bought a new harness from od iron. Everything matches up except where the wiring comes through the firewall there are two wires (74a and 74b) that were not on the original harness. We left them unhooked. Everything...

My friend got the battery box welded up and ready to paint. I haven't tried my hand at welding just yet just explained to him what I wanted. We were both pretty happy with the outcome. The top hinges at the front and folds forward to access the batteries. The top of the box is bent at...

Your truck looks great. My next truck is going to be a tan bobbed 5 ton if I can find one near central PA.

Got a lot of stuff done this week, but still a lot to do. Motor is about done. Need to finish up the exhaust but haven't found the right black paint yet. Closed the hole around the steering shaft with gasket stock and seam sealer. Extended the drip tube (?) to the divers side behind the axle...

I have this on my to do list. Not sure if I'm going with vinyl or canvas. But yours are looking good.

Any pics of under the hood?

I'm jealous. Need to get mine back together.

Need to know what kind of decking, size, etc... I want to do this before I put my troop seats back in.

Thanks... Can't wait to have it on the road. Just getting it started and moving will be awesome. Going to take to the York, Pa Jeep show in July. Don't expect to win anything, especially in the military class, but it'll be cool just to see what people think of it.

Got a few more things done today. Seems to be going quicker today. Painted a bunch of parts. Waiting for a lot of dash pieces to dry. Installed the fuel tank, starter, dash, hooked up wiring... Ready to mock up battery box under passenger seat on Monday. Sorry, still only pictures from my...
