alts called Autozone they test alts outside the vehicle, so Im going to give that a shot see if it shows the alt as the issue alone or if I can narrow it to the truck. I hope this is simple and the alternator and not another issue within the truck as Im out of ideas on the truck.

been doing body work for a week or more, plan on welding in some more panels today and grinding down and sanding some welds from a few days ago also.

looks like you have a fun truck for the days ahead, welcome

got an email back from the alt seller on ebay, will update when I speak to them on the phone tomorrow hopefully

cucvnut, maybe. Im looking into that contacted the folks from ebay but brand new delco remy rebuilds. Is there anything else in these trucks im over loking that may regulate voltage? I just cant think of anything else

ok update. I put the optimas in and had same results. I also cleaned pretty much every ground I could find with a wire brush lots of dirt and stuff. Fired the truck up a few times, volt meter stays in green for fifteen seconds than all the way up into the red.

ok will give it a shot, it has new terminal as of a few months ago but the original gov cables. Thanks for the input

anyone got any ideas? Im throwing in the red tops today to see if that helps the situation and pulling the trigger on the relays at cucv electric.

ok so more details. after hooked up the pulsetech analyzer. -cranking volts 11.23 normal -alt idle 14.67 high -ripple detected .12v normal -alt load volts 14.43v high Any ideas guys?

two new rebuilt alts off ebay, lots of body work and welding in panels. Cut out lots of rust holes, trucks getting prepped for bed liner and new coat of CARC. Also changed out the horn button in my grant wheel and cut off a few welded in tabs that were never getting used.

Ok before you all crucify me for yet another gen 1 or gen 2 light let me explain. I have an 09 and its giving me some trouble with the gen 1 and 2 when driving with the accelerator depressed. I have replaced alternators a couple days ago with rebuilds from rareelectric or someone off ebay...

got two new alts off ebay and new grant horn button

went out and bought a used co2 tank from craigs list and swapped it for a full one at airgas, also got two sheets of 18g steel to patch some holes in the 09's floor. Need to get her water proof for the bedliner and the winter.

got a couple extra alternators off a junk truck. But am debating now if I want to try the cucv electric rebuild kits or just buy new alts all together, anyone have any suggestions.

How hard is it to do a rebuild on your own with the cucv electric kit?

very interesting

I LOVE THE ROOF RACK SET UP! I have been planning on the same thing on my 09 using my cut down HMMWV gypsy rack.

Looks like the fun starts! COngrats

Yeah He said he can knock out some more if anyone wants something like that. I like your green rig, mines getting painted here soon.

There's also two tabs for mounting lamps. I plan on putting two IR haed lamps I got from a good friend of mine. Should be fun for night time driving.
