Alternator power feed fusible links

[twomorestrokes]

I need to replace the alternator fusible Links at the dimond shaped firewall block. They are blue. I've gone through a few searches but I'm just trying to verify that they are 12 gauge links. Having a very hard time finding that size anywhere around town. Thanks.

12 gauge sounds about right, but check the TM to be sure. It's easy to find online.

Thank you. 12 gauge it is. Largest I could find I town was 14 gauge. Summit has 12 gauge and it came will be here tomorrow. They're great.

Good stuff. Let us know how the project turns out.

Worked out well, thanks for asking. Replaced links, charged batteries and fired it up. No generator lights on now. Just filled the tank with winter grade fuel and additive which was what started the issue. Couldn't light the gel and was jumping it off my car and cranking for awhile.

Did you change the fuel filter , when diesel gels if will plug the filter with paraffin.

No not yet but thanks. Just got it running. Probably due for a fresh filter anyway as I've never changed it lol.
