haha yeah, thx for the reminder. forgot that one on my revised to-do list

 

Sounds like might have some resistance building up in some of the connections in that circuit maybe. While truck is at idle and lights are on and dim like you say, put a meter on the battery posts and see what voltage you get. Could have voltage drop somewhere

 

Did it start after the upgrade? Double check all of the connections and grounds. If you have newer brushes(3 yrs old is pretty new) than something is off

 

That thing would be a lot of fun here. You ever driven or ridden in one? Not me

 

Wazzup homeslice? All quiet on the western front?

 

just busy (and tired lol) lately, thx for asking bud

 

No, but it looks warmer than a snow machine


Just kidding, that one doesn’t have the cab

 

Good to hear, good to hear

 

Hey Cruiserguy...no, it was doing that before. I'm curious to see what the difference will be with the upgrade / remanufactured Alt.

 

I didn't even check your previous posts but - battery checked? last replaced? type?

 

Battery is approximately 3 years old. It's an Energizer 24F. It was purchased from Walmart.

 

@BartMaster1234 better take your gloves, hand sanitizer and mask to work

 

good choice

 

cool. just wanted to check. be surprised how many think the batt is fine and not an issue. had one where he insisted it was ok and he tested it with VM. Turns out it was like 7 years old. He replaced it and all his issues were gone.

Did you have the alternator tested? Might want to do both actually. Have the battery load tested and have the ALT tested to be sure. If both test fine, move on with the diagnostic.

 

after my LED BBQ, I replaced the driver side with the DEPO one. Can't even tell the difference. Had ordered a passenger side also. That one is still sitting in the box. Oooooo another item for the list. Swap that one in.

 

hahaha mine are in the garage under a shelving unit with a layer of dust all over them.

That turned out nice.

 

nice work

 

You're gonna acquire all the stuff needed and then make me schedule a week of no work here and then make me load my tools and drive out there and we knock it all out in that week, aren't ya?
