I opened up the driving blackout light on my M1009 and thought I was going to replace the bulb. The inside is rotted out and I can't tell what it's suposed to even look like. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement wheter it be a socket or the whole light? Thanks
I gave up on the bumper on my M1009. I used screws into the tailgate. I didn't mind cuz there is quite a dent in it and I'm thinking about replacing it. I don't like it on the tailgate so I'm not sure what I will do yet. I saw a picture of someone on here that fabed up something that hooked...
Wilson's tech guy took apart 4 of their in stock alts and told me they found they used all steel bolts where they were suposed to use insulated bolts. The set two asside with my name on it. Should be in soon. I originally told them I didn't want them back I just didn't want this to happen to...
I called these guys direct today. They are more understanding without the parts store in the middle of this mess. A rep is taking 5 of their in stock alts to a rebuilder for inspection. I will get a call tomorrow to see what he finds out is wrong with them. They say they are going to help me...
Try telling a huge alternator reman company named Wilson and all of their reps and techs that. To them, I am still hooking it up wrong. It works just fine with my original working alt on the pass side. I now have their number to talk to them directly. Something needs to be done, how many...
This is my first diesel. I need to do an oil change and notice the stick said use sf/cc or sf/cd oil only. I looked at some oils at the store and none of them had those letters. Is this an obsolete oil? Just wondering what everyone else is running. Does it only have to be deisel oil or is there...
Ok, the third and fourth brand new alternators came in from Wilson. They are telling me I hooked it up wrong and they have isolated alternators. When you check continuity to the case and negative stud you have it. When they are bench tested at the store they have a 12 v output between the...
I thought about converting to 12v but for some stupid reason I thought it would be cool to keep it the way it is. That link to the Napa part is exactly what I got, they say isolated but when you check between the negative and the case they are connected as I said before. I hope the next ones...
I did buy both of them. I get a real good deal at Napa and they sold them to me for 165 each. My idea was being everything our local Napa sells is full lifetime guarentee I would never have to fix or by them again. This is typically what I do with parts so it's a one shot fee. This time it...
Going to the parts store tonight. They tell me they are specifically for a cucv and that I must be hooking them up wrong but both of them have continuity between the negative stud and the case. That can't be right. What a mess.
Nope broght it back home last Saturday, just picked it up. Got it from the thumb area and drove to port huron and then down 69 to Owosso. Now it sits in the driveway very broken :cry:
The more I search the threads in search I am almost certian it's my alternator is not likely and iso ground. I hope I didn't burn up the fusible links.
