So, Found On Road Dead.
 

That's what some call Fords.

Well do an extent I can't really make a call on that because I have a Mazda. :tapedshut

Anyway. My voltage meter on the dash had gradually declined over a few days. Probably a total of 100 miles of driving. Turns out my alternator was going in and out. Well I drove about another 60 miles and was still able to crank and drive the Truck. :biggrin:

Of course, it couldn't do it with out my yellow top but the fact that it can run on 10.5v and start on 10.5v with out over heating the wire/starter and/or blowing the fuse is amazing. And Deep cycles FTW! Try that with your red top.

Anyway, $222 later I have a brand spankin' new belt and a lifetime warranty on a rebuilt alt from Advance and the company I got the alt from. When I turn my old alt back in I get a $50 core fee back. My truck was due for a new belt soon anyway. It had about 80k miles on it. I also have some high wear belt now that cost me a toe or two extra.

Nice.

3.0's FTW though I cant wait to add an extra 2 liters.

I dig your truck.

I drove a 3.0 today... not too bad until you hit 60 mph... seems to just "give up"

Mazda FTW.

250k+ miles and 7 years and my truck is still on the original alternator.

yeah my 3.0L has some balls.. ask crazymikey.. after the first branson meet we were racing on the 410 lmao

You kept up without falling behind,but I was ahead the whole time.

forgot about that.. no i meant when we were on 410 towards hamilton.. we were racing till u had to get off lol.. but if i had a 5 spd too i woulda been nose to nose with his 4.0L lol

Once the Mod Bug bites, it gets infected and spreads quickly throughout the entire truck. It's main side effects are empty bank accounts, maxed out credit cards and court dates.

yeah i was like the 410 ricers race there lmao
