I understand now. I went and looked at my truck with a test light. I also understand why they done it. It was done for 1 size fits all reasons. That was why I was massively confused. I have learned the way of the Jedi. I will continue to be vigilant and learn. I just never thought about it that...

This is the only picture I had other of the other guys alternator. I knew that was not considered the isolated ground and that it was wired incorrectly. I was showing you what other people think when you tell them they need an isolated ground. That was away from the other ground so to some that...

Yes I know that. But NOT on the case. All mine are attached to an isolated ground on the back. Unless I am missing something. Anyone?

This is a picture I received from a fellow that has charging problems on an M1009. He said he has the Gen 1 grounded. I told him this does NOT constitute an isolated ground. This will create charging issues. Am I correct on that?

Now the fun begins. You must clean and check everything.

NO LED's. I don't think I can take anymore of this. LED's are the way of the new world. Embrace change but keep your incandescent bulbs in the Gen 1 & Gen 2 idiot light sockets. LED's do not excite the circuit.

This is a 5 year old thread but the information is still good to know. Very helpful information here. I was looking at it because of my current issues with a customers truck. I was never aware of the cluster bulbs being different. I used 194 bulbs on all the bulbs. Never knew it would matter...
