The glow plug stuff was already converted to run via the 12 volt system before I got it. At this point the only thing really running 24 volts is the starter and I ordered that with the new alt. That will be an easy item to take care of. I'll post up parts availability as I remove stuff.

Okay, it had been done. Ordered a Leece Neville 4860JB, 200 amp 12 volt alt and 12 volt starter (all new parts). This will be a great starting point and then if the need/want to add a second alt, I can order another one and put it parallel to add redundancy to the system. I will document this...

Thanks Ian for the info. Given everything and our needs, I think the 12 volt conversion is the way to go in the long run. Cry now and not later. Sure don't want to be in the middle of nowhere and have the equalizer die and strand us. As I remove stuff, I'll let you know and we can work...

I will very likely have a LOT of parts off of this. Most everything in the box, including the rear doors is likely getting removed/replaced. The big challenge would be cost of shipping... unless you came out to sunny SoCal to pick them up. 8) On your Edit2, I am not quite sure I understand...

Not really concerned with the A/C in the box since we don't do desert camping in the summer. I am actually thinking I will use the factory compressor and use something like Vintage Air to put A/C in the cab, where we might need it more (most of our camping is fall thru spring). I am looking at...

Thanks for confirming what I thought I should be getting at the actual alt terminal. 10-11 volts is definitely not right for a 28 volt alt (per the regulator marking). Nice looking rig!!! What size lift and tires are on that beast? I have been looking at engine/trans swaps too but for now...

Yeah, I think it might have been one of your posts that mentioned the fuse for the gauges, hence why I checked all of the fuses. I specifically pulled that one and doubled checked it with a meter and used a test light on all the others. I had even thought the Gen lights might be the problem if...

Okay, more testing and to answer markg questions. I checked all the fuses yesterday and I get power thru all of them (used a test light and checked both sides of the fuse). Rear battery alone = 14.8 volts, both batteries = 27.4 volts. I did pull the regulator and found it was on the medium...

Anyone??? Getting ready to start at it again and really need to know what the upper alternator output should be at the output post. I think I might have a bad alternator but no one open on Sunday can test a 28 volt one.

Hi guys, Okay, so I have been reading SS for the last month (well before I got my M1010) and know there are a number of issues with the DUVAC system and charging on 1010's in general. There seems to be a number of different solutions on removing this troublesome system. Also a lot of...
