after over 2 years of needing a new alt i finally replaced it today. grant come over and helped me get my butt in gear.

my old one the regulator was shot it was charging over 15volts all the time and brushes where toast and recently it has been rattling bad....

its so much nicer to have an alt that works right now!!!

 

lol i can only guess what killed it...

what alt did you put in?

 

Did you put a bigger one in? Good job getting it done

 

yea finally!!!!

 

about time!

 

nice........15v......hmmmmmmm

 

LOL i made an alternator out of 3 bad one's, its pretty much a mutant, only cost me $10 for a bearing. but its working kick ***

 

Frankenator. Cool

 

if you were overcharging its a good thing you didnt fry the battery too

 

haha ya... the old one i spun it off the truck WOW thats all i have to say...

 

oh i am well aware i was waiting for it lol

 

new word added to my language dictionary.....

 

Lol

 

Aren't they fun to put in... Actually they aren't bad if you have the tight tools.

 

tools arnt a problem lol have enough of those. and actually there a cake walk just takes a little time. only reason i didnt do it i was being lazy and putting it off lol...

my and grant worked like what an hour and joked around too

 

My belt started sqeeking this winter...I bought a new belt then my belt quite when it got warm.....I still haven't installed it

 

I don't know what it is but I went through two NEW alternators in 2 years with my 2.3. And I've had my 4.0 for a month and already put a new one in.
