Well the Problem is fixed, the left alternator is replaced, and all seems
well, thanks to al of you that replied.
Since I taped the 12volt battery ( I think I would be better off to use a
DC/DC converter
I am now looking for a 24 to 12 volt converter for HAM radio use, that will
require at least 10Amps continuous, ( tho I doubt I will tall all the time )
Does any on you have a opinion on this ?

Subject: [MV] CUCV GEN 1 light dim but always on when engine running.
Date: Mon, 09 May 2005 22:03:44 -0500
M1009 CUCV 1984 ( sand) for Desert storm !
Well, after $2900 , the heads are planned and she no longer BUBBLES air at
the antifreeze overflow tank. that was kind of a sick feeling to watch ;-)
And not more than 2 weeks out, NEW symptoms.
Just like a old girl, she want more attention.
So , SYMPTOMS
1. GEN light off,
2. turn key on, and gen 2 lights bright, gen 1 lights up slowly and is dim.
3. starting engine, gen 1 remains dim, and gen 2 goes out normaly.
4. following the 20 manual , I dicsonect the diagnostic leads on Gen 1 ,
and yep the Gen 1 light goes out.
5. seems I have just 12volts at gen 1 and total of 26 at gen 2.
So, any ideas ? it says check the wiring, but I find nothing to test to at
the pannel.
There is a black taped splice at the diagnostic leads, but, IS 12 volts not
to low ? should it not put out 14 ?
