    MEP 803A Low AC Voltage and Alternator not charging.

    I'd ask what the battery voltage is, if you've charged them up, with the engine off. 24 volts running sounds low or the alternator is trying to charge 2 dead batteries...I'd avoid that 100% unless necessary to make power. The alternator might be going full field with amps trying to charge them...

    MEP 803A Low AC Voltage and Alternator not charging.

    The one thing I know is the alternator has a fuse of its own fu1...back of the drop down panel to the left...should be a Grey twist cap. If that's blown the alternator won't charge. It's a glass tube style fuse. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    yes...there's a good check in the sticky in the forum for what to check too.

    Woopsies while rebuilding passenger side alternator (GEN 2)

    I'd bet you just need another regulator. The only wire I can think of in the alternator is the capacitor. I'd check for the power going into the regulator, though, to see if you blew a fusible link. I'll look at one when I get home. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    A new (maybe) Gen 1 light question

    Ground up under the dash way up on he drivers side wall. Gotta get under there pretty good to see it. Probably a little corroded. The blower motor should have a ground from the case of the blower to the ground bar. The gen light could be a bad regulator...need to check volts at each battery.

    TH400 Part / Off Throttle Downshifts

    2 easy ways 1 is put in an adjustable vacuum modulator 2 adjust the vacuum at the VRV...I like to start at 12 inch pounds...check to see what you have. If you knock down the vacuum that'll make it hold and kick down easier...2a.....once you get close sometimes playing with the governor weights...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I've done a bunch of kits on those. Some are just a front strut spring change all the way to a front cage drop and new knuckles. Do you have the original parts? Gonna need to know what they changed. The rear could be blocks on top of the springs too...round plastic spacers. Shocks will be longer...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I put a block heater in all mine. I used the brands I could find online and they'd last a month and a few didn't work at all. Tried several brands. I ended up finding nos gm ones on ebay that were decades old and those have worked the last 2 winters. I got good at changing them with a vacuum on...

    Power steering pump bracket hardware

    Interesting as pic 104 in the tm does show what you have here. I'd try nut number 2 and see if the thread is the same. All the pumps I've done those nuts got mixed up and never had a problem with them being different thread. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Power steering pump bracket hardware

    Ok. The tm you are looking at is a 1010 not a 1008...they could be different with that bracket and double nut since it has the ac compressor there. Go up a few pages it should have the 1008 Pic. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    MEP-802A

    Bang for the buck that's a very good price. A few things that I didn't think much about when I got mine was how heavy it was. A 5k little gas genset can be thrown in the front seat. You'll need a small trailer or a forklift to get this out of your truck. I ended up buying a bunch of 2 inch pvc...

    M1008 alternator

    Sounds like you need some help with the drivers side belts. Slipping on the water pump pulley. Getting the power steering belt tight is not that easy since there isn't much to pry on. Definitely tighten the power steering first. I do the pull to get tight from under against the mount bracket...

    Tailgate will not open

    It's not that hard to get it to pop open from the inside. I just pull each latch release arm and push each side until it opens. Sounds like you need to adjust the handle throw on the latch or the bolts are loose. Could be rusty too. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
