Yes, Sir...they did. That second alt is gone, on the drivers side, and in it's place is a nice looking AC compressor. Now I just need to see if I can get her running. :)

It seems as though I have the plumbing for the AC. Lines seem to be there. Wiring, I'll need to work on. Looks as though field mice lived in vents at some point. Any way to clean those good?

I was literally just thinking about that. What information should I start gathering about the setup in order to start troubleshooting it?? Electrical connections freon hoses what else? That is another area I have absolutely no experience in.

She's alive. Melted wire, touching the exhaust, seems to have been the issue. Thanks to all for the help and support.

I will have to finish this up during the week. It's too dark and I don't have good lighting, or all my tools, here in my temp quarters. I do believe, however, that the melted wire is most of my problem. More, later in the week.

How do i keep that from repeating?

Maybe this???!!!!!!!

I'll be checking these later today when i have someone outside who can turn the ignition key for me.

No, I haven't. In fact, I've never tried that before. Just hook it up like you would jump start your batteries? Red/black on battery and then red to starter solenoid and black to ground?

Just for grins, I did the infamous Doghead Relay conversion. Clicks, but will not crank.

yes, Sir. last digit ending in 8? I should be around and would love the help, IF I don't get it up and running before then! :)

The D1777....sitting in the garage.

I'm about to start replacing all relays and electrical wiring on the beast... just to get her running again!!! ;( It's probably something extremely simple that I'm overlooking....

Halfway tempted to do it. It was mostly converted when I bought it from a Sheriff's Dept in West Texas, so I just worked with some pro's to finish it up...been working good for a couple of months until this weekend.

This truck was running fine until I took it into a car wash and had the guys deep clean my interior. It started fine after they cleaned it, but after I got home and tried to start it again later, it would not start. I did not wash the exterior, just the interior was clean. I'm wondering if...

Replaced the 30 fuse with a new one just for grins. Nada. Tested the old one and it checked out ok.

0 ohms at relay connector

I will test that purple wire again. Just a clarification from my earlier post, I left those two red wires off for a reason. I knew at that time I really didn't need them, so I did not attach them. ;)

Dangit.... Manual glow plug and cigarette lighter for power.

Both inside the cab. I'll trace them. Had to run inside for a few minutes and work.
