I've replaced it on almost every truck in the remuda. I use these:
It's a 40 amp fuse ... comes with comes with 8 gauge (I believe) pig tales about 6" long ... about $11 at O'Reilly. ((EDIT: Part # MAH1 Line: (Lit) made by Littlefuse))
Man, I'm sorry that happened...not as sorry as you are.
Happened to me too.
The good news out of my disaster: I found this forum.
It's funny to think back, the interwebs were very new (to me) then.
What turbo set-up did you go with?
I'm pretty sure that the problem with the THREE bad ones from NAPA had screwed up / mis-wired regulators ... I can't think of anything else that would cause the type of problems that they were having.
Welcome to the forum.
Use the search function to read-up on "surging" and "air intrusion"
You'll need to isolate the intrusion.
It could be "plugged" feed line(s) or FSV.
My experience: 2 out of 3 "surging incidents" were air in system ...
The 1 time that the issue was crap in the lines...
Update: The second failed alt. was returned to NAPA. The one that they offered for replacement tested bad too!!
That's three straight! What are the odds ..??
Anyway #4 was (is SO FAR) a winner.
What (who) are y'all using for replacement alternators?
Hello All,
My 2nd replacement alternator (in two months) is "pushing" 12.4V after start up.
After I reach 3000 (or so) RPM it charges at 14.2V until I shut the engine down.
Upon start up it's back to 12.4V ... etc.
What causes this problem?
I'd like to understand the issue before I go back to...
Someone with more experience will chime in.
If I remember correctly, your auto trans goes into "limp mode" when it looses signal from the tach.
That combined with battery light ... I'm not sure, I'd be looking for a damaged wire in your tach / trans circuit.
Not sure that I'm reading this correctly, but if you have installed the aux. lights, without using a relay, you maybe overloading the circuit.
I'd recommend using a relay on all aux. lighting applications ... for that matter relays are beneficial for your headlight circuit too (see tech...
Welcome to the forum.
That's what's happening.
Search the forum for "head gasket replacement" or some such.
You have a day of reading ahead of you!
Good luck.
