Multimeter is reading 12.5-12.7 on both batteries
Gen 2 post is reading 25.5
Gen 1 post is also reading 25.5 (thought it was supposed to be 12?)
Gen 1 light stays on very bright, Voltmeter in truck stays in yellow.
any ideas on what is wrong here?
I recently ordered a 24 volt starter online, slapped it in thinking my problems were over. (had to deal with a shop giving me 12 volt starters and saying they were 24 volt starters, they actually stated "all diesel starters are 24 volts", and soon after I confronted them with somewhat of an...
Went to the junkyard and was lucky enough to find a few things I was looking for, get in the truck and it barely starts to turn over when suddenly it stops. I tried to start it again only to see a bunch of smoke coming from the bus bar, a small red wire with a black plastic tube on it numbered...
I can't find starter rebuild kit specifically for the 24 volt starter, anyone think that the rebuild kit for a 12 volt is any different than the one for the 24? I would think that because both a 12 and 24 would fit and function (at least until the 12 volt goes out from too much power) that a 12...

Was driving my girlfriend home last night when this little mexican girl thought it would be a good idea to try to make a left turn in front of my beast of a truck. I braked but it was raining pretty hard and i smashed the whole passenger's side of her Daihatsu Charade (wtf is that? i know)...
For the last couple of weeks my voltmeter has been reading right on the line between yellow and green. Starting a few days ago i found that after its been parked for a few hours or so my batteries are low and it was barely enough to start the truck. With the truck on I'm reading 14 volts at the...
I recently picked up a 1985 M1009, in pretty good shape only 56k miles. Within a few days of buying it my starter went out on me, it looked to be the original and had the old give it a few good hits to get it going so I went ahead and bought a new one. That new starter went out within a week...
