    Chicken lights

    Not sure how to run the wires between the skins. My truck didn't have the headliner in it when I bought so that's why they're exposed, otherwise I would have them tucked up in the headliner. Thanks, the bumper was on the truck when I bought it. I bought the truck to use for my off road rig but...

    Chicken lights

    At night they're pretty bright, not so much in daylight. Pic below of just them on in my garage after installation. Daytime pic too. I just ran the included wire and scotch locks inside to connect them together, then ran a wire down the A pillar to my headlight switch. The running lights are...

    Chicken lights

    Matrix, Harbor Freight sells a set of the tear drop style lights for $13, $10 on sale. I've got hem on my truck and like them. They pretty bright for regular bulbs too. I'll post a pic in a bit.

    3G Swap, No Start

    Got it figured out. Ended up being I missed a wire. Just gotta go through and rewire it to look neater and fuse it. Got 14.32-ish volts at idle.

    3G Swap, No Start

    Wasn't sure what to get a pic of so this is what I took. My connections are on the backside of the alternator(toward engine). Don't know if it'll help you much... The blue tap splice on the yellow is the other yellow wire that came from my original voltage regulator with the other yellow wire...

    3G Swap, No Start

    I'll try to get some decent pics. I wasn't sure how much of the original harness needed to be left so there's still most of it there. When you say you have your yellow/white to the "power lug on the back", are you meaning the stud on the alternator or what?

    3G Swap, No Start

    The alternator I got still had the plug on it but the wires were cut on it. The info I read said to get the entire wiring harness from the car or one from a crown vic would work too. None of the yards in my area had the harness apparently. Doesn't make sense to me why not, but I couldn't get it...

    3G Swap, No Start

    I bought an 86 F-250 6.9 that supposedly ran great. Well, turns out it needs a lot of work but the original alternator was shot and while looking for a replacement, I found some info about swapping a 90s 3G alternator on the truck. So I went out picked up a 130 amp unit from a 91 Mercury Sable...

    Look what I found on the truck!

    I tried to hug a tree once. It snapped and I ended kissing the ground instead. Everyone knows to leave my stuff alone too. They know I have guns and know how to use them. On some of the other trucks I've had, I put a sticker that said redneck on the back window. That seemed to help.

    IDIs are missed

    My 6.9 is my first diesel truck. Even though it doesn't put down 500hp or 1000 ft-lbs. of torque, I still love it. The biggest thing I love about it so far is that parts are cheaper than a PSD or Cummins. I tried to sell my truck and now I'm glad that I didn't have any serious offers on it. I...
