The drivers side alternator does not require an isolated ground. The passenger side requires an isolated unit.
The drivers side can be an isolated unit without any issues.
I have all isolated units and spares. This way I can change any defective alternator with my spares.
Most any competent...
Oh well... No injuries other than pride.
One time I ran over a full can of orange making paint, on a brand new concrete floor in the shop.
In front of several employees to witness the event.....
Needless to say, I bought a few dozen donuts for that error.
When going to remote radio locations and for some over-landing adventures, it's always nice to have a generator. Finding a good place to secure the generator on a CUCV with a S250 shelter is a challenge. Keeping it inside the shelter is nice, but not desirable.
With no other suitable mounting...
It's a lot of work but it sure is handy having 40 gallons of fuel on long trips. We used a M1009 fuel door and associated metal as well.

Or, you can change the connectors on the truck to fit the wider 60G GP's.
I have used both types on my trucks...
Disconnect the green wire from the GP, use an ohm meter to check the resistance of the GP to a good ground. This is measured from the metal tab that the Green wire was on to a good known ground near the GP.
A good GP should have a resistance reading around 1 ohm. A bad GP will show a higher...
Great information Ken,
Trying to find people that can take a logical step by step evaluation on troubleshooting is difficult. The process of elimination seems to be a lost art. More times than not, it is something simple. ON/OFF switches seem to really confuse some people.
Many people are...
I know the feeling.
Once I unplugged a 330 watt paging transmitter while it was still transmitting. I thought it was off the air but it was still putting out power. Any unexpected arcs can be surprising when you experience them.
At least you were able to accomplish the repairs by yourself with...
