[QUOTE=McClinton527;4296867]There should be a regulator that runs in conjunction with the wire harness out of the cab and the alternator. If your going one wire It all can be eliminated. When you make the one wire swap there's a specific GM one wire alternator you must use. It will have a couple studs off one end of it that accept eyelit style connectors with nuts, (often metric). I believe the standard alternator has a plug receiver on it that is designed to have the harness plug in to from the regulator. Good luck[/QUOT

McClinton, if I run this one wire system you are talking about, what wire off the harness to I run to the alternator?
