Any idea of where a guy can pick one of these up? Or is the only option to buy a new volrmeter and if yes to the new volt meter any suggestions guys on where to buy a new one? I have googled and checked cucvelectric to no avail.
thanks for the assistance gents
I have heard about the volt meter resistor before and looked for it on the back where everyone mentions it is located. I have also removed my entire dash and cluster to do bulbs on two m1009's and not seen anything except the actual voltmeter and the little bracket that holds it in. Am I...
ok after cleaning everything up gen one and gen two lights no longer flash red or come on during driving but volt meter goes into red about fifteen seconds after start up. any thoughts?
Ok so went into Autozone this morning and they tested both alts for me, guy had no idea what an isolated ground alt was. But hooked it up, both passes using the large positive and negative stud, but when he hook it up to the isolated ground FAIL Is this normal? Is there some better way to test...

ok update. I put the optimas in and had same results. I also cleaned pretty much every ground I could find with a wire brush lots of dirt and stuff. Fired the truck up a few times, volt meter stays in green for fifteen seconds than all the way up into the red.
ok so more details. after hooked up the pulsetech analyzer.

-ripple detected .12v normal
-alt load volts 14.43v high
Any ideas guys?
Ok before you all crucify me for yet another gen 1 or gen 2 light let me explain. I have an 09 and its giving me some trouble with the gen 1 and 2 when driving with the accelerator depressed.
