I finally figured out what it was this afternoon. I took Tow4's advice and tested the alt on the truck and it was still running low. Now I feel like an idiot because it turns out the belt was very loose. Apparently when I had the belts changed earlier in the year the shop used the wrong belt...

I finally got around to messing with this. The following has been done so far I hooked everything up properly, but gen 1 does not charge. Gen 2 charges fine. I took the truck to the auto part store to test the battery. They said it was low, but tested good. Took the alt back to the place that...

I don't understand why I'm getting two different voltages either. I figured Alt 1 still wasn't charging, but I wasn't sure, as the voltage does jump, just not much. I figure it's the alt because the Gen 1 light is working and I'm getting exciter voltage. Just wanted another opinion from people...

I figured I'd revive this thread instead of creating a new one. I'm now having issues with Gen 1. I noticed the other day that the volt meter was showing lower than normal, and Gen 2 is newly rebuilt(since April), so I figured it was Gen 1. Popped the hood and it was filthy and covered in black...

First, let me say that I know the wiring in this truck is exceptionally jacked up. I want to figure out this Gen 2 problem and then I'm going to re wire it properly. Now for the Gen 2 issue. I bought the truck (M1009) last August and have had intermittent battery problems. Finally it dawned on...

I replaced my starter a few months ago. I was unable to get the original rebuilt as one of the last owners put in a 12v starter. I looked all over and decided on this starter. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/WIL0/91014376.oap?ck=Search_1998454_-1_803&keyword=1998454#itemDetailTab_ It...

Yeah, I figured that out fairly quickly. Almost nothing on that truck works right. I'm waiting until spring and then I'm going to take apart everything I can and clean it all up. I'm not looking forward to IP problems. From what I've read, it's super expensive and a huge PITA.

I'm a new 1009 owner, 4 months now, and there seems to be no end to things that I've done to my truck "lately". Just today I replaced the blower motor speed selector switch and the plug that plugs into the back of it. They were both melted pretty bad and its been pretty cold here in Chicago. A...
