I don't have time to fool around with this thing to find out exactly what is wrong; I just ordered a new 170 amp (75 at 1000 rpm, 170 @ 1800 rpm) alternator from AlterStart, comes with a 1 year warranty for $199--it gets here Friday.
I'm still ordering the brushes & holder from Jacque, & will fart with my other alternator later. Maybe it will come up as a cheap sale here....~

Just looked on page 1 of the thread...it was a 1 year warranty. If I'm not mistaken, I paid around $13 for shipping..
Been very happy with this purchase! I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised.
'Ol Red has 277, 000 miles on her now. My plan is to make it to half a million miles~

im not an expert on wiring but if I put a 150 amp fuse on the alternator 4 ga wire and the stock wire is fused for 80 amps wouldn't that make margin for the truck to pull 230 amps possibly burning up the alternator? any ideas here and is it necessary to leave the original wire hooked up?
