Yes there is ckt protection like Wyoming says...
Get a multimeter. Check the fusible link wire AND 80-Amp fusible link that looks like a fuse. The latter needs to be unscrewed at terminal in order to replace, but do not replace until ur absolutely, positively swear it is bad. Checking means measuring resistance, voltage, and visual inspection.
Sent between chopsticks pick ups of chow mein.

Yep forgot to disconnect it.Coors induced mistake. My buddys truck did not have an 80 amp fuse that we could find. The alt just wasn't charging,we had it tested and it was shot.Hard to wiggle that thing out of there.After it charged at around 14v.Im not certain that the alt was not on its way out cause the pulley was screamin at 3800 rpm. Thanks for the replies-Blair

Are you working on your buddy's truck or yours?
Your sig says:
"bspeth 86 22re 4x4"
Yes, on the 86 22RE, there are:
(1) Fusible link wire (80Amp) - the wire that goes from batteryy positive to fuse block, and
(2) Fusible Link module (80Amp).
Here's how the charging system on 86 22RE 4x4 works.
You were changing the engine mount, so engine and alternator must NOT be running.
IF alternator is not running, shorting the screw terminal post to ground [EDIT: Is not likely] to hurt the alternator. More likely, the screw post, the shorting object and the fusible link will melt.
Coors... NAH... Next time try this before working on truck
