When I was in the military and something broke, you always start troubleshooting the last thing you touched. In this case, it's the passenger side alternator.
It failed at work last week. I drove about 25 miles with it squelling and the gauge in the yellow zone.
Just got the alt rebuilt and installed. Turned the key, dask lights came on, normal buzzers buzzed, glow plug light went out, tured the key and click followed by darkness.
One side note: while hooking up the battery, I got a pretty good spark while conecting. Nothing was on in the truck. After verifying the connections after the no-start, I unhooked and reconnected battery. This time, no sparks.
THought that I might have hooked up something wrong. Checked batteries and alternator. All looks well. Have have 24 volts accross the terminal block. have juice on "some" of the circuit breakers.
Have the batteries charging right now. Maybe it's that simple....
Can the starter relay cause TOTAL loss of electrical power.
Not much info on this symptom in the -20 or the -34.
I wanted to drive the green monster tomorrow but don't think that's going to happen
