After decades of faithful service, last year my K20 gave me fits. The troubles started when I decided to finally revive the long-dead factory A/C. After many trips to 3 different shops over several months, and 3 new compressors, it's working. Added pusher fans to help it work better.

Since the alternator was now maxed out and starting to make noise, I upgraded it. But the electrical system decided to cram way too many electrons into the battery and smoked some wiring. More trips to the shop, another alternator, 3 different voltage regulators, and it's still overcharging. In the city once and it fried the fusible link, in traffic, and I was lucky to coast into a parking lot. Temporary fix got me home.

Got some great advice here on the forum and upgraded the wiring and installed a new internally regulated alternator. I *think* everything is finally in good working order but I won't know for sure until the truck gets out of paint prison. Hopefully soon!
