Got scissors or a good knife?

Ordered the alternator rebuild kit. Will install promptly whenever it arrives. Started cleaning the half dried oil clumps out of my engine compartment...I thinkit may have been leaking since '86 based on how much of that crud is stuck everywhere.

If it runs as good as it looks I think you probably did pretty well. Keep that salt water off of it though, wouldnt want to see a good truck rust to bits. But for 3500 I think you did good. Now go grab a grease gun the lube order and the rest of the TMs for a little quality time.

Looked at ordering a remanufactured alternator to replace my Gen2 so I can rebuild the original to keep as a spare. Part WIL90014277 if anyone has any experience.

Back to square 1.2 for me... at least the Gen2 alternator is pulled. Now i need to rebuild it...

Thanks. Back to square 1.2 I guess. I'm not sure when the last time it was rebuilt was I know I havent rebuilt it in the 4 months I've owned it. I'm looking at this kit for the rebuild. http://www.aspwholesale.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=5137 I just need to find that insulated plastic...

Removing gen 2 alternator right now... Im not sure if I will tackle this rebuild or have someone else do it. The loose stud in the back is bad news and apparently if it touches the case a whole lot of sparks will fly and knowing my luck thatd turn into an engine fire. So on Warthogs advice Im...

Ouch... I knew this would be painful. But thank you none the less. EDIT: To add... I think I figured out the actual problem with Gen 2 and the voltmeter... should there be a brown wire here? Ive attached a picture of all the wires that were attached to Gen2 and me pointing where I think a wire...

I'll clean it out when I get off and if that doesnt work I'll grab a new plug in the morning. Is that stud suppossed to be loose though? Also there is a red ring around it that appears to be cracked and broken up if that means anything. Thanks again. Semper Fidelis

Poked around the engine bay and posted in the alternator diagnosis thread.... I think I tracked down my Gen 2 and voltmeter issues.

Sounds good to me, like I said I'd like to learn a few things when I can and when we aren't hitting the trails.

Good to hear.

Well after reading this thread and the TM as well as doing a search I still have a question or two and a few opinions I need verified. I have a GEN2 and voltmeter issue on my M1008. The Gen 2 light doesnt come on like the Gen 1 does and the voltmeter reads zero and doesnt move at all. The fuse...

Just curious... as I know everyone is coming out to wheel that weekend is anyone planning on wrenching on anything (besides what they break)? I'm always looking to learn something new.

And I've been called into work.... I am definitely not happy.

Im going to try to make an appearance saturday afternoon/evening. Ive been pretty busy lately and trying to get the m1008 road ready.

And I thought I had a lot of stuff to do...

Lucky!

Oh yes it can... im trying really hard to get the M1008 road worthy so I can have that much more fun.

Yeah found the sensor out with the jeep... worked for about 2 days... went to the dealership for OEM fixed the issue. Anyways... I think the tool is $20 from napa, its the socket looking thing used for taking apart the hubs and reassembling them to the proper torque. As for the help, depends how...
