alts
called Autozone they test alts outside the vehicle, so Im going to give that a shot see if it shows the alt as the issue alone or if I can narrow it to the truck. I hope this is simple and the alternator and not another issue within the truck as Im out of ideas on the truck.
cucvnut, maybe. Im looking into that contacted the folks from ebay but brand new delco remy rebuilds. Is there anything else in these trucks im over loking that may regulate voltage? I just cant think of anything else
ok update. I put the optimas in and had same results. I also cleaned pretty much every ground I could find with a wire brush lots of dirt and stuff. Fired the truck up a few times, volt meter stays in green for fifteen seconds than all the way up into the red.
ok so more details. after hooked up the pulsetech analyzer.
-cranking volts 11.23 normal
-alt idle 14.67 high
-ripple detected .12v normal
-alt load volts 14.43v high
Any ideas guys?
two new rebuilt alts off ebay, lots of body work and welding in panels. Cut out lots of rust holes, trucks getting prepped for bed liner and new coat of CARC. Also changed out the horn button in my grant wheel and cut off a few welded in tabs that were never getting used.
Ok before you all crucify me for yet another gen 1 or gen 2 light let me explain. I have an 09 and its giving me some trouble with the gen 1 and 2 when driving with the accelerator depressed.
I have replaced alternators a couple days ago with rebuilds from rareelectric or someone off ebay...
went out and bought a used co2 tank from craigs list and swapped it for a full one at airgas, also got two sheets of 18g steel to patch some holes in the 09's floor. Need to get her water proof for the bedliner and the winter.
got a couple extra alternators off a junk truck. But am debating now if I want to try the cucv electric rebuild kits or just buy new alts all together, anyone have any suggestions.
