So little update on the 1009...we took another shot at the fender Monday after school and it went great...got the battery trays all bolted in nice...I did find that the fender liner had dimples where you should drill holes for the battery trays to go in...thought that was nice...used some anti...

The amp size doesn't matter really...mine is a 2 or 6 amp switch one from tractor supply but puts out volts no matter what...slow charge is the best charge...the battery could be shorted out though.

So I gotta ask if the vacuum is coming in at the top of the vacuum valve at the throttle and going out to the trans at the bottom...I took a pic of mine just curious since mine did the same thing.

Ok, I've had that problem in the past with the new style computer load testing chargers that they sell mostly now with both hooked up.

I think there's a ground on each side...but if the old light works then you got a bad light....I put a set in mine a while back and they work great...the blue high beam indicator works with them too...I got mine on the ol amazon but they fit and are very bright...you'll like them in there over...

If it says swap clamps you probably have a 12 volt charger and the batteries still have the cables hooked up to the genset...unhook them and charge away.

I got a new coolant overflow bottle today that fits kinda...it was super cheap so I'll hunt for something that will fit better...this ones top mount that needed drilled to fit, which I knew beforehand, is about an inch away from where it needs to be and the bump isn't deep enough...no biggie...

Thanks! I quit my job several years ago just so I could be there now since there is no second chance for most things...can't get back time.

looks great!!

Swap the hoses at the vacuum switch on the throttle...mine was swapped and figured it out after a bit of testing...vacuum goes in the bottom comes out the top...if you have a vacuum gauge it'll make setting the switch easy.,,I set mine at 11 hg at idle running and it shifts great.

I watch tons of stuff on there but don't buy to much anymore...got a 1101 trailer about 3 months ago still waiting on papers...but yes the gensets dropped off the back of the cargo plane at 10k feet are bringing crazy money.

I'd suggest a nice long low charge on each battery for a few days just to top them off...even with a new one they really like that...2 or 6 amp..it won't fix the charge issue but at least they'll be topped off good...I gotta get the small solar panel thing for all mine yet...help keep them going...

Yes that sounds right, they are gounded internally. So you think you have 29 or so total volts? If you think the alternantors are your draw you can unplug the regulator as they can be the draw...but that's a shot in the dark yet...what's the volt draw that you have that's draining the...

Dang you're having a bad week!! Is this a new problem since the glow plugs or did it do this before...ugh...I think when I was going through some weird stuff with mine I found using the alt sticky that are written up and go step by step as it says just to make sure I didn't miss anything...

That stuff does get confusing...really if your alternators are charging as they should be then the drivers side is grounded correctly...there's a stud on the back of that one that usually has a wire running to a stud by the thermostat housing...the passengers side does not. As far as a draw...

We had another productive day...got the battery trays out of the m1009 and he spent 5 hours cleaning, grinding and welding in some new metal to replace some rust...came out great...should get the new fender and well on it Sunday. On the M1008 front I spent a little time dialing in the vacuum at...

Ok as the story goes these trucks are never done!! I got it running great now with the new fuel, tank and filter...buuuuttttt it won't shift until up to 35 for second and 45 for 3rd....poor D is screamin...so I knew I had a good vacuum pump but for some reason I had full vacuum at the modulator...

Hopefully that's all you need to replace! There is a very short piece at the trans too....might want to change that as well since you'll have a few extra inches left over from the few feet you buy...probably need about 2 1/2 feet.

LEDs can work sometimes like a filament bulb and sometimes not...have no idea why...I use the led relay instead of using the individual resistor for each one...some are adjustable for flash speed as well...not sure how well they'd work with no leds or a mixture of them...I used led 194s all over...

Yeah probably a good thing to remove that...the vacuum pump has a tee in it the might be leaking...I replace all that vacuum line just so it's good. It' good that it whistles...you know it's making good vacuum!
