When you do check them, use some good electrical grease to maintain a good ground. When I did mine I used NO-OX-ID electrical grease. It actually fights corrosion. Amazing what a difference good grounds make. Worth every minute checking, cleaning, greasing ALL the grounds. Some gremlins...

What is the gen1 alt reading at the battery? If it's only 12v then it's too low.

After a day of hauling bricks and cement bags I broke out the pressure washer. Gave it a good wash and steamed cleaned the engine also. Darn good ranch truck. Now she sparkles......figuratively speaking.

You already have another thread for this. Try staying on point with that one.

ACDELCO still makes them.
