If I was certain that the alt just happened to go bad when the belt came off, I'd be on board with this idea. My luck dictates that I'd drop the cash on a new alt just to put it in and still have a small issue somewhere else that could have been resolved to get everything working fine. ;)

I apologize in advance. I troll around here and contribute when I can, so I'm familiar with how often these types of questions are asked. Stay with me. I've looked over the TMs and even a diagram that a prominent member put together and linked in another thread but can't quite figure this out...

Spent a day chasing issues with my heater and just wanted to share what I found. I'm aware that my issues can probably be found in other threads, but just wanted to show some pictures and list replacement part numbers for the sake of being helpful. Problem: My blower motor would work...

In Alabama, no probs. My Progressive insurance card describes it as a "D10 Military" but the DMV could care less how I use it.

Absolutely. Sorry, must have had my serious face on. :D A lot of these have made me want to go drive around my local yuppie "Ye-Olde-English-Village" while burning used motor oil for fuel.

Epic thread. Needs to be stickied. :beer:

Unless I missed something...

This is EXACTLY what went through my head. :beer: I'm planning on ordering some retreads from treadwright.com once the time comes. Buddy of mine told me they have a great rep around other enthusiast forums. Some consider retreads to be a gamble of sorts but really...isn't that why we...

Anyone know the size of the Torx bolt that holds the seat belt retraction mechanism to the body? My belt is "locked" in retracted position. Gonna take it off and slather it with WD-40. Trying to save a few bucks by not having to buy a whole set for the one socket I need. :? ***UPDATE***...

Try this. I had a similar issue and this resolved it.

It seems to me that the "modification" of my Alt2 was someone's way of getting around the Gen2 light. I wish I had taken pictures of it when I took it apart. I just assumed it was supposed to be that way and reproduced the modification when putting in the new regulator.

*UPDATE* Truck has been down over the holidays. Haven't found much time to work on it and have started banging my head against the wall when I do find time. So, I decided to take it to a certified mechanic. They were very "anxious" when I told them it was a 24v charging system I was having...

I don't recall mentioning a burnt wire. I rebuilt both alts myself using the kit I linked earlier in the thread. One thing I was curious about was that inside Alt2, I had to drill a pilot hole for a connecting bolt that linked the regulator and the heat sink. When I opened Gen1, this detail was...

Everything tests out fine here. I did a open/close check by taking the wire loose at the positive block and the positive alt terminal. The wire shows closed, so it must be good along with the link. Engine running, I'm seeing 14.4 at the terminal block, grounded to the neg terminal of the...

10A fuse looks good. Turns out I don't even have a Gen2 relay. I checked the voltage to the Brown/Red wire and I'm seeing 24v. I swapped my Voltmeter relay into the Gen2 socket and saw 24v at the brown wire in the plug but I'm still only seeing 12.3v at the rear battery at idle. Since I'm...

Thanks so much for helping me out by the way. It's greatly appreciated. After checking again, it seems as though the red wire DOES in fact make it back to the positive terminal block. It's getting dark here so I'll triple check tomorrow and give more details.

Voltages good with key off, getting 12v on Alt1 brown with key on and nothing on the Alt2 brown wire with key on. The guy who sold me the truck said that this was done to get around the Gen2 light. He said that if either alt was bad only the Gen1 light would be lit. This was done in case a bulb...

UPDATE: Alright, both alts are rebuilt. I'm still not getting a charge to my rear battery. When I test the "BAT Terminal" I'm seeing about 27v. When I test at the rear battery terminals at idle I only see 12.6v. Alt 1 is putting out around 14.4 and I see the same at the front battery during...

Ok, just put in an order for two 27si rebuild kits. The belt isn't on alt 2 and my Gen1 light is still slightly glowing so I'm just going to rebuild them both. @Barrman: Yes, I am referring to the top adjustment bolt. I'll probably try to recut the threads, then if that doesn't work out I'll...
