Somebody swapped it to 12 volts. Was originally 24 volts. Is the rest of the truck converted over to 12 volts also? -

Look at the starter, distributor and voltage regulator ID tags and see if any are 24 volt.Comment

yeah i just thought about what i posted it would still only have 1 set of cables cause i guess the batteries would be in series if they were both 12v....how would a 12v generator work with a 24v system?Comment

A 12v generator or alternator won't charge the system, it needs something greater than 24v to work, like 28v.Comment

ok that what i thought so its probably already been converted then because the guy I bought it off of was driving it until the clutchand pressure plate went out in it .......Ill go ahead and check it for safe measur though.....thanks for the replyComment
