www.ficmrepair.com got me fixed up with a big honkin' USAdiesel alternator overnight shipping. The "second" alternator is a stupid system that doesn't even really work the way you would want a backup alternator to work, and its second pulley system is in the way of doing anything. Best I could figure the fan always has to come out to change the belt. Not side of the road friendly. It all got the delete. Then like a moody girlfriend, she breaks my heart again.

Bought a 6.4L parts truck that came with a ranch hand bumper. The frame ends don't quite line up and needed some drilling to mount 8 bolts securely. Also there's a gap under the turn signals. Maybe not ideal, but I spent less on the whole donor truck than what a the correct 6.0L truck bumper would cost new.

Fell behind on these updates. Did a block heater test, then the next day a cold start without the block heater for glow plug verification.

Then had a three week trip that was unexpected with recovering a broken helicopter. Truck sat at airport and I was really wondering if there would be a parasitic draw I've not had the chance to test for.

For good behavior I ordered two matching good tires and ditched two of the ****** mud tires on there.

Still gotta get the speedo fixed so the 35s are correct, but happy with the handling.

, never fails to hear from folks that never owned one ................................. heard it on Facebook, must be true.

I've owned the 6.9 and 7.3 (still own this one) and the 6.0L has been the best one. They are finnicky and demand good maintenance and quality parts.
