Found this steller piece of craftsmanship today....
The wires you have there are the fusible links on the alternators. Replace them with new fusible links. That taped one has to go. That is looking for trouble. You can buy fusible link wire at an auto parts store. The black rounds are just fancy butt connections.

I bought an entire roll of the link a few weeks ago. Ive used 3 feet of it fixing this thing lol.

I ordered a 3.5" lift kit which came a couple days ago. Blocks for the back and springs for the front. Got the rear blocks installed after work today. Not too much arguing. Ill post some pics of it tomorrow

The Goodyear Duratrak is the best tire for the M series pick up and cab chassis combination. over the years as the Goodyear Work Horse evolved into the Duratrak I have bought and worn out many sets. on the M1009 IMHO the Goodyear MTR Kevlar makes the look and performs flawlessly on and off road.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” Good Luck. keep up the good work.

"A fool and his money are soon parted" Mr.Tusser. Reading reviews and keeping an open mind are desirable characteristics of adaptability. The duratrax are good tires. The cost and sidewall flex they demonstrate are the downsides. In the 6 sets i have run to the inspection limits of my state. :cool:
