worked on the truck today

[craftsworker]

Today i did alot of work on the truck,new water pump ,new fan w/clutch,new hoses and t- stat,new shroud,new fuel pump and lines,new plug wires and plugs,cs- 130 alternator conversion.i thought it came out pretty good.what a huge difference that alt conversion makes,i had a 63 amp in there before and would barely kick out 14 volts running down the road,this new one and the rewire really cranks,i bought the kit from mad electrical plus a few extra terminal blocks and some other odds and ends.i been accumalating alot of these parts for about 6 or 8 months but today was finally the day.lol,the mad kit by itself is a pretty good kit but anyone whos,thinking about it should at least get an extra terminal block and add it to the kit and maybe some extra wire,when i was done i checked voltage at 4 locations and was 14.5 at all locations at idle!!!!! tooo cool.used to be on a rainy day with defroster,wipers,lights on it was around 11 volts.

all in all i am pretty happy with the results, heres a couple of pics

The blue power steering pump clashes Looks pretty good though. Youv'e been pretty busy keeping it that clean

Nice clean and new looking motor u got there. One suggestion though...why don't you use some kind of wire loom to hide some of the wires so they don't stand out so much and take the attention from your nice looking motor. Just my .02 no offense.

no offense taken i was planning on doing that and actually the drivers side is pretty cleaned up but i need to do the passenger side a little cleaner.i will probably do the zip tie looms as i think they look a little cleaner.i kinda ran out of time yesterday.i got a bunch of loose and or dead wiring to clean up too since i rerouted alot of it,i hadn't removed it yet ( just in case i needed to redo it if i made any mistakes)lol,so before i change things lock stock and tomahawk i like to make sure that it all works the way it was intended... run it a little while and then clean it up. make sure all is well before i go making changes that cannot be undone....

thanks for all who looked and offered advice and or comments

Looks very nice - definitely nice to have a more powerful alternator.
