    Cranking issue, '86 M1008, previously 12V converted

    Rats nest wiring, setting 12V back to 24V

    Hey y'all. Proud new owner of an '86 M1008. Trying to get her running reliably by July. The previous owner converted it to 12V after it caught on fire at the passenger side wiring block. Said he had alternator work done and a 12V starter put in. I want it back to 24V. I don't know these trucks...
