Apparently I am missing two bolts on the alternator bracket. Appreciate all the posts recommending I check them.
I was not able to find the size and thread of the bolts, does anyone happen to know from experience?
Side note: Thank you for being there SS! These vehicles are so rewarding to...
I’ve not gotten ahold of aluminum wheels yet. As it stands I don’t think it would work without modification of the attachment bolts. They are long and bottom out in the lug on my steel rims just as the protectors make contact.
Originally I had planned to do this myself, but looking at the work decided to have Bryce W do the gears on my truck. It is by far the best upgrade.
I noticed that it is quieter, rpms come down to a reasonable range at 55-60 mph (where I cruise) and temperatures are lower. Perhaps the 3116 (A0)...

thank you for blazing the trail
