Great time today. Nice to meet some of the people I've already "met" here on the forum. I brought my whole family. Alot of nice trucks. Hope to see everyone again real soon.
Just got back here in Statesville today. Took two whole days of travel from a place hotter than I've ever been (a I've been to some hot ones) to get home. Now, whose going to go to Denton Saturday morning from the direction of Charlotte/Statesville area? I would like to convoy. I think I missed...
Got it fixed! I search a company out and found a place near Ft Bragg. He sent me a rebuilt alternator for a great price. Seems like he
knew his stuff. I would guess he does alot of work for Uncle Sam through various contracts both past and present.
He said he likes helping poeple like "us"...
Well guys, I'm going to pick-up the still busted alternator. It charges without the regulator, but the guys who have it can not figure out how to get it to work with the regulator in place.
They even talked to the Prestolite rep. Still nothing.
Any ideas? I need to get this one working and not...
Warthog, and others, thank you for the reply. That's the same information I just now found. We just relocated so finding all my docs can be a challenge.
As always I knew this board and it's members would be reliable help.
I'm having the alternator rebuilt and will reinstall it later this week...
I also discovered this loose wire. The number on this tag is 568. Any idea were this should be attached? The only two wires not connected are this number 568 and the hard wired connection off the alternator.
Update:
I checked the voltage at the alternator with the engine running and read the first picture. Then with the engine not running and the ingition on.
I got the same reading both times so that means the reading is for the batteries. Alternator was the taken off to be diagnosed.
I'm going to be doing my own cooking for me and my boy. Except for Saturday night "Convoy to town."
But I was wondering, if you have leftovers, could we buy a meal or two if we were still hungry? Sometimes it would be good to eat with the group.
allenhillview, Thank you for the compliment, pictures hide alot so don't look too close in person. But I've been prowling this site for a while and I really expect to see some member's rides that are outstanding examples of dedication to this "hobby". I'm just gonna keep my head low and try not...
