Dstang97 Less so am I putting faith in the gauge. I just am trying to nail down if the rebuild guys still need to keep working on it. If I was getting 14V and 28V at Gen 1 and Gen2 regardless of what load I put on it then I would be happy. That's my issue. Why am I getting a drop to 13.6V...

Marschmallow Thanks...well that tracks with the numbers I am getting on number two alternator output and at batt 2 terminal. Any idea what voltage are you getting off the Gen 1 Driver side alternator at the terminal? I guess the gauge is tipping me off that it is not as strong as I remember...

Cranetruck, Thanks. I checked both battery SG and all cells are 3/4 or higher. 4/6 and 4/6 are 3/4 charged and 2/3 and 2/3 are fully charged. I would say that the batteries are in good shape. I just would be happier if they were getting higher juice from the Alternator. This CUCV is my...

I have been working through charging issues for a while. I had both alternators rebuilt. A few months back I noticed my volt meter down a bit from where it normally is. I sent it back to the shop that rebuilt it (Gen1) and they said the regulator went bad. They swapped it out and said everything...

I have read alot implied about switching out direct drive with gear reduction starters...but nothing conclusive written about pros and cons of one versus other I had a gear reduction on my M1009 and it failed on me. I have gone through a string of gear reduction now and happened upon what...

Not sure how Odiron's AC kits are...hopefully it keeps both alternators. I added AC but it was a real pain as said above. Unless you plan on doing it yourself many will offer to do the standard mod which will make it like a civ 12 V. They remove one alternator convert the system to 12V lose a...

Yes I was back to the couple starts and then click. The relay is hanging down and will continue to do so until it gets upgraded. I have been swayed! I will do that mod. I just want to select a good relay that will always be available in the future. So I want to get this back to normal and...

Re: Stubborn Starter CUCV Michael Thanks for the reply. I am now starting at the TM and diagnosing that way. After reading the warning about the '85 relay defect in the TM I certainly understand the relay upgrade. Even though GM may have corrected the problem I have limited confidence that...

I posted this in the wrong place a couple days back so I am trying again... I've seen on the site that people routinely have the same difficulties with starters. I think I've read them all looking for the Holy Grail. I am frustrated after 5 weeks of no CUCV and endless bills and still haven't...
