In order to rebuild one of the alternators, what parts should I ask for?

I'm ready to replace my going bad alternator. It's number 1 that's going bad, as that light is lit, even though the 12volt is holding voltage thus far. What I'm wondering is if a regular alternator can be used for that side as that one grounds to the engine block anyhow? Then I could get the...

Here is a breakdown of how to wire in a civilian dash board / gauge cluster with oil, temp and two volt gauges. First identifying the wires: 2 brown wires- Gen 1 & 2 Gray- Low coolant Pink & black Hot from fuse box Tan&white- Brake warning Tan- oil Black- Ground Brown&red- Gen 2 relay Dk...

I am in need of a diagram for a civilian 4x4 blazer, 1986, dashboard connector. I need to know what wire goes where. I'm trying to get a set of factory gauges to work.

I keep finding the dash light fuse melted, but not blown. Wondering why it's drawing so much amps?

will a 120 mph speedo work as a swap, or will the needle point to where the numbers were on the old speedo?

I'm trying to figure out the o.e.m. type gauges. Three connection on each, power, out to the sending unit, and negative for return to zero. Where does the return to zero connection connect to? Is it a temporary ground source? and if so, where and how? Does a relay provide a ground switched...

Just got a bunch of parts. Only needed a few. Took two speedo's apart, one for the needle, other was broken. Reset both odometers to zero, anybody want to spend 5 bucks to flat rate them to you? You'll need to break down your speedometer and slip these in. Their held in place with just a slip...

I put all the military noise filters into my inside power feeds, and grounded the firewall real well, but still have alternator "feedback", a high pitched noise, that gets louder as the engine revs higher, feeding through my stereo and coming out the speakers, how do I cure this? p.s. quite...

Put in a freeze plug heater. Sure wasn't no half hour fun job. It wouldn't budge, then fell inside the block. Then wouldn't come out. Dropped a big punch on my nose and bloodied it, anti-freeze all down my sleeves. Got - r - done, finally. Thermostat housing broke. The top bolt busted a...

I'm getting ready to install the new thermostat, and block heater. I'd like to drain the block of it's coolant while I do it. Where is the plug to drain the block? As long as I'm picking brains here, where do you tap into for engine oil temp? Is there a spot near the filter?

I'd like to find a power line that is hot both when the key is on and when its in the accessory position. Anyone know where to find such a place?

I installed the radio today, and every time I turned on the lights it would go all static. Decided to fool with the lights some and noticed they flickered with the static. Finally dawned on me. I ran a ground from the firewall to the negative of the front batt. and wala! So, to be safe, I...

Yeah! My bad, when I put the new battery clamps on, and then bolted the cables with the new lug ends to them, I put the star washer between the lugs and the clamps. Shows what you get hurrying to get to work. That was a serious "DUH" moment.

Are the diesel generators GL is liquidating, the big ones on trailers, generally working and able to be used to power a home?

Anyone know of a source for fitted insulation for a chevy / cucv engine bay?

How about anyone have a full set of the lock tumblers and a key they'd sell? I can also trade a good front blackout light and a good volt gauge. Also still have the vehicle part of the slave cable set up I took off mine, complete with plastic cap and cables.

I'd like to try someones door key to see if it works in my 1009. I see some on ebay that look nothing like the one I had cut. It would save paying a locksmith to cut one that fits.

Did a bunch of filter changes, oil, cdr valve, and fuel. While the fuel filter was off, I wiped off, then brass brushed, the sensor. It still shows water in fuel. I also did a bunch of electrical work. I cleaned all the bus bar connections and dielectric greased them, and also the headlight...

Do any of you run propane for boost? I don't plan to, as this is my daily driver, and seems fine to me, but I am curious.
