The main issue is that it is SO freakin tall now. I'm pretty short and I have to crawl up in this thing like a kid on a jungle gym. The other thing I don't like is how it feels going around corners, feels like the center of gravity is way too high.
The front drive shaft is still factory length.
Is there a way to test to see if one of the alternators went bad without starting the truck?
I am not good with electrical stuff at all so this is something that has me concerned.
Well, I checked out the front battery and it was totally dead. So I charged it all night, the next morning it showed 100% and it started up just fine and everything seems to work like it is supposed to. Only thing I can think of is the front battery must be toast and was drained when I turned on...
Thanks Warthog. I was going to check the batteries out this afternoon when I get back home. I know they were both fine when I started the truck right before this happened but who knows now.
After that I will start trying to track down these fusible links.
Porky, in the diagrams, when it says suppresor, does that mean it is a fusible link?
Also, if I have lost ALL electrical powere to everything which diagram should I be looking at?
Porky, is there a place the shows where the fusible links are located??
I am betting that this is my problem, now I just have to figure out where they are located so I can repair/replace what I need.
I started my M1008 yesterday morning and everything was fine, nothing out of the usual. The truck was covered in 1/2" of ice so I turned on the defroster on high and let it idle for a while to warm up.
after about 15minutes I went out to check on the truck and get the ice off the windshield...
I have a M1008 with a CB that has a 4' whip antanna. I stumbled across a SWR gauge that hooks up in-line on the antana coax.
My CB has a SWR knob on it as well. What should the correct reading be for this type of setup?
