Re: Alternator help!!!

Well i had a buddy tell me that you can just take the two wires that hook to the plug that plug into the alternator and cut them leaving a little bit of wire sticking out and just twist them together and tape them and then just plug the hot wire to the battery. IDK Will this work??

Re: Alternator help!!!

That will leave the field energized all the time, leaving you a dead battery when the truck sits w/engine off. The smaller(usually white)wire on the plug only needs power when key is on.
