Thanks Phil. I have had fun with GPs too in the past! ;-) So far the driver's side alt seems to be working fine now. The pass side alt may be jealous tho. Last night the gen 2 light would glow faintly at warm idle. Any additional revs made them go away tho. I thought I heard one of the belts...

The rust doesn't look that bad to me. You don't say what he wants, so it is hard to make a judgement there. And there is the fact that you will probably get this one a LOT sooner than getting one thru GL!:wink:

WOW! Am I glad noone around here had a Diagnostic Unit. That would have left a mark.....And maybe some ashes!:evil: Makes you wonder who works on some of these. Because my story is that the wire was always under the red wire ever since I got the truck....And I'm sticking to it!;-) This truck had...

The small wire that wasn't making contact because of a dirty connection is the one on the left side of the plastic connector. The other wire coming out of the connector is a fusible link. The wire I left off during one of my MANY cleanings is the smaller brown wire hooked on the lug with the red...

Yeah I was afraid of that. The original ground wire was broken off and the large ground wire was added. Why they didn't remove the eyelet and broken wire I have no idea! You can see the temporary end I put on the ground wire at the intake manifold in the far right of the pic. I want to replace...

Well, let's see if I can get this pic on here. OK! The wire I left off is the brown wire that is now attached on the post with the red wire. The wire that I could wiggle and make the gen 1 light come on/off is the other brown (smaller) wire that is coming out of the left side of the plastic...

The gen 1 light came on before engine start like it is supposed to all night long. The gen 1 light did not even glow with both heat and lights on. The headlights stayed bright also. I am not saying that I fixed it, but.....;-)

The heater fan works fine on all three settings.

You are probably right. But this cheap multi meter that I have may not be reading exactly right either. I found that the small wire that goes into the plastic clip on the driver's side alt was still dirty. When I cleaned it (AGAIN!) the gen 1 light came on before starting. I drove it to work...

I'll try to take a pic tomorrow. Gotta run to work now. driving the truck tonite to see if it stays working. Wish me luck.

THAT was another problem. The wiring diagram isn't like my alt! I used the diagram, but it wasn't much help. I read all the threads I could find. And they were SOME help. Like I knew that the heater circuit was the exciter circuit and that the gen 1 lightbulb had to be good..... But when I THINK...

If I knew, i wouldn't be pulling my hair!:-D The truck was running fine until I started using the heater. The old heater motor was dragging BAD and I replaced it with a new NAPA one. But the gen 1 light was glowing dim with heat and lights on. After I put the new heater motor in, the light...

Yep, I'm pulling my hair out over this charging problem!:wink: But I LOVE my MV and am already planning on more! (Don't worry about keeping this from the wife. I think she has the same iseas!) In what little snow/ice we have had, it has worked fantastic. And this 6.2 is the smoothest that I have...

Years ago I was in a company truck and this guy in a ratty old 2X4 Ford truck was belly deep in the ditch. It was against company policy to hook onto anybody, but the guy looked kinda desperate and i pulled him out. He offered me money, but I declined. That is when he told me that he had been...

OK. My gen 1 light does not come on PART of the time. I have cleaned all the connections, put a new end on the ground wire and it worked, but the light glowed dim with heat and lights. I replaced the heater blower that was dragging and the light would not come on at startup. This lead to a flat...

Roadtrip! :-)

I want! I would like to have this hood for my 1008. I could come over on Sat. I saw that you are in Granite City, Il. That is on the East side of St Louis, isn't it? Let me know. Thanks, Bob Miller

Is it painted camo? Or green? My 1008 hood has been painted with a brush and is about 1/4" thick!:roll:

Mangus have you ever burned out a glowplug testing them this way? I had a 6.2 that the PO had tested the GPs this way when he put new ones in. He burnt 7 of them up! I took his word that they were new and good and paid a price (money AND time) for my gullibility!:oops:

GASP! A Dodge part on a Chevy? Blasphemy! And dittos on good wifes are impossible to replace. Glad she is fine.
