Here's a dumb question for the masses from a newbe, I recently purchased an M923A2 I can't tell what year it is as the placard on the dash in the year column it's scratched and unreadable, the ID plate on the Cummins shows January of '09, truck has 1200 miles and 40 hours on the hour meter. Does this thing have a generator or alternator, it looks like and old school generator and the placard on it says "Generator System DC" but looking in all of the TM's all I see is Alternator, inspected date on the unit is July of '08. I found 2 burnt and shorted wires that go into a little box at the back of the alternator/generator, and also inside the case by the cooling fan so it either has to be replaced or repaired, but before I go hunting I would like to know which 1 it is being an alternator or generator, and where's the best place to start looking for a replacement. There's a TYPE # on the alternator/generator of AMA9104UT
The cost was $225.00 plus a 50 buck core charge, but they will sell it outright at 275.00 plus shipping. Me I kept the core as the shipping was 46.10 so I would only have received 3.90 back and it would cost more than that to take the fried 1 to the UPS store. I might take it to a shop down the hill in Victorville Ca. and see if they want to touch the old 1( it's burnt pretty bad), as Mark from the
