    Charging Issue

    Are you sure you have key on power to the green wire? Where did you pull that from? Remember on our trucks that wire is usually not green. It’s red with a green stripe. I can’t really think of anything else unless the alt is bad. There’s really nothing to it. As a Hail Mary if you didn’t...

    Charging Issue

    It’s bolted to the engine block which is bolted to the main ground cable. I don’t necessarily think an extra ground is required.

    Here’s how I did mine. I put the yellow wire on the hot post. Effectively the same if the charge wire is of correct size.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Had to make a run to the hardware store. Got this thing cleaned up. It’s a solid 10 footer now. Ready to install.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Went and got a ton of pellets with my helper. Going to try some supplemental heat this winter. At least maybe make the house more comfortable even if it doesn’t do much for the electric bill. New furnace install Friday.

    You see the parts list. Bring her down for an hour or so one day and I’ll lend a hand. Same to you @catbird7 but you are a bit further away.

    Can’t be skeered all your life. LOL A wise man once told me that there’s nothing but fear and common sense stopping you. I have found those to be words to live by.

    That’s one option but honestly you are handicapping the alternator by not running a heavier charge wire. It just won’t push to its full potential. It should function but you are not getting the full benefit of the 130 A alternator.

    I think you are going to be the yellow drive and yellow driven gear. Think that’s what my truck was originally. It was 4.10 when I bought it.

    Charging Issue

    It’s very easy. Alternator I got was for a tall deck 429 truck motor through the uhaul eBay store. Pretty much direct fit except the top hole is metric (8mm I think). It could be drilled and taped for 3/8 I think but I just used a 8mm flange bolt. It even had the double groove pulley although I...

    speedometer still not working

    Right. Trans shouldn’t matter. It’s rear gear and tire size. I’m 3.55 with “stock height” tires. Yellow drive gear, wine driven gear puts me on the money.

    Yep. That be the issue.

    Those are the correct types. eBay. There is a couple good YouTube videos on changing the drive gears. It’s not that hard once you see how it works.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Went and loaded it up before the rain hit to return it in the morning. Thinking I may have an exhaust leak. Need to investigate.

    Moved a little backhoe for my buddy. Good bit of windshield time.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Drove the truck to work today. I don’t drive it much to work but it was Thursday which historically is a little lighter traffic and besides, I thought I’d help a buddy out and save him a long trip to drop my trailer off. This is why I don’t drive it to work much. My clutch leg is sore.
