Did you click my link? It had vendors and threads from SS.

Let me google that for you

The controller switches the light blue wire(ground), to activate the relay. (not the positive side) Both small terminals are connected by a long winding of wire(a coil). So, with the key is on, then you would see voltage on both small terminals(if the controller is not activating). If the...

Did you fill them with battery acid or used paint thinner? Lord, I apologize, and be with the starvin' Pygmies down there in New Guinea. Amen

And don't forget all the fun your having along the way!

And here's a generic pic of a syncro. The syncro has a cone or tapered shape inside that engages and helps match the speed of the gear set that it is attached to. This helps with a smooth shift transition. Reving up or matching engine speed, sort of does the same thing.

I would bet the sycro is bad. Here's a pic of a shift key.

Unfortunately, the alts do seem to go bad after the trucks have sat for a long time then put back into use. I'd get a couple of rebuild kits and replace the small internals. Then you should be good for years.

Bad shift key? :p

Dang, I was gonna trade/share pics with ya... Either way, I recommend you use some sauce.

Have you rebuilt the alternators yet?

Diesel, fuel oil, and kerosene all foam up when dispensed. They always have. Have you ever owned a diesel truck before?

nopics :whistle: I've had a few burns from slag. Each one, I was not wearing my leathers(because it was a small task(WRONG)). Hope you heal fast. I bet it smelled just like the pig on the smoker... Put some Zout sauce on the burn, and continue heating to 165F for 20 hrs(or until the...

Here's one of many threads, that came up with a search for "alternator wire picture". http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/73009-help-installing-alternators-m1009.html

You are putting the 2 small wires on the 2 small terminals, and the 2 large wires on the 2 large terminal, correct? The small purple(with white tracer) wire should have 12v with the key in the start position.

Did you test your temp sensor? If it is bad or disconnected, your card will not function properly.

A bad axle oil seal will cause the issue you describe. I'd look at the shoes again. You did replace them, right?

Use a volt meter and see if you have power on the big purple wire, when you try to start. You may have a bad relay. A few others have reported bad(new) relays. You could have a bad connection also. Did you disconnect your battery cables when you did the mod? Did you clean and reinstall...

Yes, it can. I recall this being an issue back when people "converted" 6 volt VW bugs to 12v and did not change the coil. It would work just fine,unless you left the key on and the points were closed. Then, after a few minutes, BANG, the coil explodes. I did it at least once myself. You...
