In Florida, the permanent semi trailer tags are for trailers that are pulled by GVW registered tractors. My M915A1 and M393A2 are both registered historic and have permanent antique tags.

That's common. My passenger side alternator is the same and probably has never been rebuilt since the truck only has 28K miles. The driver side I rebuilt a few years ago and the light goes out immediately.

What happens if you increase the RPM slightly by pressing the accelerator before the light is out? Does the light go out immediately?

Keep in mind that many of the parts across the Delco SI series of alternators interchange. This is the correct part for 27SI type 100 series IR/EF alternators. It also fits Delco 10SI and 12SI alternators. You can find it by searching 39-101-3 on ebay.

Type 100 and 200 use the same brushholder.

I had a 1950 F-3 and there were countersunk screws attaching the brake drums to the hubs. If there are screws, they get stuck. Heat the screw head with a torch until it glows and then it will unscrew easily.

Maybe just drop the RV registration. You may pay more for the tag, but it may be easier to insure.

I see you have a compressor on the Dodge and a air hose ran to the towed vehicle. Hopefully the brakes were fully functional and you were not just using the air to release the spring brakes on the wrecker.

The truck will typically have to be registered as an RV.

I've noticed that none of the fonts matched on any of my trucks or trailer. It seemed like they used whatever they had or maybe even sourced locally. The font that everyone said to use, didn't match what was on the truck. When I got ready to paint, I wanted to match the existing font already on...

Very cool trip! I've driven the parkway from north to south also. Beautiful weather and great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

If your state requires you to take a class or program for a CDL, a lot of community colleges offer them. That is what I did because back then (2011) it cost less than the Roadways etc. I thought it was better training also. The down side is they may run it as a full time class. Look around to...

I don't have the jab, and I renewed my DOT and FAA 2nd class medicals in February. To the OP, and the CDL question. As you have found in this thread, you will get a different answer from every one you talk to. What I did is consider the potential risk I may be exposed to in the event of an...

Take the alternators and the picture with the B- terminal circled to a different place (or the same place) and have them tested. Show the picture to the technician so he will know where to put the ground. Or, Click Here and do it yourself. Disconnect all of the vehicle wires from the...

Just make sure they ground the alternator to the B- terminal and not the case on an isolated ground alternator.

I used the CLR rust remover. I put a gallon or so of water in a 5 gallon bucket and added the CLR to it. Put you parts in, and in a day or two the rust is gone. If the item has heavy rust, brush it with a brass brush every couple of days and put it back in until it's clean. Vinegar works too...

Stick to the interstate. Less starting and stopping, usually the most direct, and easier to get help.
