Hello all... I recently purchased a replacement FRONT wiring harness. It very closely matches the existing wiring harness, but the new harness has several different wire numbers compared to the existing. Additionally, the new wiring harness has connectors that the existing one does not have. It seems the new wiring harness is designed for a vehicle with a generator and my truck has an alternator. The new wiring harness has a heavy wire that runs from where my alternator is, across the engine side firewall, to a plug that contains two large pins. It appears that this plug is supposed to go into something (such as a voltage regulator) that would be mounted to the drivers side of the side firewall.
While researching this bit of confusion, I came across an Alternator/Generator conversion kit (NSN: 2920-00-000-008. This kit seems to have the stuff (and instructions) necessary to modify the replacement wiring harness to fit an alternator style truck. What do you all think? Have any of you run into this? Please let me know...
Peace in Christ...
