I believe we've all used this alternator in this thread: Leece Neville (110-555JHO) 12v 160A 1 wire self exciting alternator.
And here is a diagram for wiring:
I’ve seen several say the same about going back to stock, I guess if it’s all there and pristine I could see saving it. My DUVAC wiring was hacked with splices and wire nuts and honestly I don’t know if it worked at all when I got the truck. The charging system in the M1010’s seems to have been...
Systematically, there was a wrecking bar that was required to cut off the factory sheath that both bound and protected the wires, a razor blade. Once it was cut off it was just removing the wires no longer in use. Sometimes that was like untangling Christmas lights, but I wanted an end result...
A while back I did finish removing the DUVAC wiring as I know I'll never go back. After working on cars for years, finding a random bundle of wires taped off can be troublesome for someone unfamiliar and can cause hours $$$ of diagnostics. Just some photos of the operation...
I proceeded with installing my alternators today... I did not remove all the wiring for the DUVAC yet, but I plan to. I did Ohm wires out and disconnected power and ground to the blue box as well as where it fed into the 12v bus. I'm still waiting on a few things but I made a dry run to check...
The 12v block is fed off the positive for the front battery or the negative of the rear battery. I can add it in but I was mainly covering the installation of two 12v alternators in place of the two 24v ones. I will get it added for further clarification, I can also add a 12v feed for the GP...
I will reuse the original red wire from the lower alternator that has a fusible link at the bus bar. Looking at the wiring diagrams the yellow wire off the upper alternator goes to the DUVAC without a fusible link. If I add a fuse in, what are the thoughts on amperage to the battery? Old Alt was...
I did a diagram in paint for my own reference after reading over this several times and looking at pictures I could find. If I made a mistake please let me know so I can correct it but I think I got it.
I think it's time to Un-DUVAC... The m38inmaine/ChevyC60 Plan B
