Re: What did you do to your truck today!
thanks to you, will verify the charge when engine is running ; battery is charged this morning, so I hope i can start my engine.
battery gauge (factory) doesn't work correctly ==> always good... what is to say "Sounds like the alternator/regulator are not adjusted correctly" ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
OK, I bought a regulator item 36-2520 at LMC store. it is not precised for which Ah it is. I thought it was a standard one, because it fits with electrical plugs.
i've any information regarding alternator. Perhaps it's a high Ah powered and the standard regulator does'nt work with. So do I change the alternator to a standard like item 36-2760-Z (LMC store) ? First I have to see if charge works or not.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Alternator testing is far easier than most think .
Did you place a volt meter across the battery terminals when it's running ? . That's just one of many tests . More if you but ask .

Played with the hood, played with the headliner (carpet from "Big Lots" ), and cleaned up the engine bay a little.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I decided to redo the kick panels in black and finished the Air ride gauge/switch panel with ostrich and formed side panels to hide gauges and wiring. Also blasted the glove box door and hinges then powder coated.
I love this look better. Really finished the interior. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
On my tow truck I swapped the later plastic rectangle lights on the boom tower with 67-72 Stepside/Cab & Chassis tail lamps (round) and put a Y.O.M. license plate on it.
