    Gen 2 problems

    Update. I went through the TM that you sent me and traced it back to E-4 on the side of the page. That is supposed to be a hot ignition wire. I went ahead and made a jumper and ran a hot wire to the relay and it began working. Not only did the Gen 2 light begin working but also the Glow Plug...

    Gen 2 problems

    I am wondering about the Pink wire running into the relay. All the other pink wires on the truck seem to be hot ignitions wires. Other than the 24 volt wire that is good feeding the relay from the instrument cluster, should there be any other hot wires going to the relay? This may be the...

    Gen 2 problems

    Okay, I have 24 volts going into the relay on the Brown and red wire. There are 2 brown wires and a pink wire running out of the relay. They go into a harness up towards the top of the dash. On that Harness I found a diode (sits behind the voltmeter). On one side of that diode there is no...

    Gen 2 problems

    Okay, It looks like the original Alt. The numbers on Gen 2 is 110550/100 Amp/6F20/12V and the numbers on Gen 1 is 110550/100 amp/6C12/12V. I have 25.6 volts on the red wire. The brown wire does not get to 24v even with the key on. Would this be the relay or the diode? The Gen 2 light has not...

    Gen 2 problems

    I have had my M1008 for a few months now and I absolutely love it. Since I have had the truck the Gen 2 light has never come on at all. After reading many posts on here I have learned that it must so I have searched it and did all of my reading up on what it could be. Unfortunately I am still...

    New M1008 Checklist, Anything to add?

    With the trucks being old as they are you may also want to check spring and shackle bushings in the beginning. Even if you cannot afford to lift it immediately you still can replace those cheaply and get a better ride quality.

    35" tire ?

    I found this link that works well for figuring out rpms and speed for tire size. This should give you the information you want to know. :: PIT BULL TIRES :: Axle Ratio/Tire Size Calulator 1.1 I am running 36" tires and it calculates I am doing 62 mph at the same rpm rate as 55 mph with the...
