The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

yep..22..getting old... haha

thanks Mike.

 

Yeah I remember those days. Haha

 

Me too... I turned 22 with about 9 months left to go in Iraq...

 

I have two weeks left of my 30s.

You can all go fack yourselves.

 

Ah your just about to start the good stuff!

 

Do you recall where you bought your cs144 GM alt? Was it new or a rebuild?

Here are a few I have found so far:

Jesus pricey!

Mine is a reman. From Advanced auto parts.com

 

I saw a couple of remans on ebay for ~ $80. Do you recall what you paid?

 

135 shipped. Plus could send in the old one for 30 bucks back

 

Similar to this 135 + 16 + shipping

edit: looks like it qualifies for free shipping. So $151 with the core charge

 

Hmmm looks like it yes.

Part number isn't exactly the same..wonder why it's more pricey now

 

I did a search for the part number and came across this write up. haha, did you write this in a previous incarnation?

Haha maybe

Nah but that is one of the thread I gave you originally. Just it was on the actual board and with the pics instead if an idex file.

But that confirms it. Part number I used is only slightly different. But looks identical.

 

haha,

Well, looks like I'll be spending some more $$ tomorrow. I ordered shock mounts today.

 

Nice

Getting the alternator, harness, and wire tomorrow?

 

Probably start with the alt. Harness? Do you mean a 4 pin trailer plug? Wire? 4 ga?

And you left off belts and 150 amp circuit breaker.

 

Belt you can get here..trailer plugs also here

No I meant the 4 pin plug you need that plugs into the alternator. The pigtail.

Yea just 4ga..got any left over from your stereo? Haha

And thought you bought a circuit breaker?

 

Yeah, I have a lot of 4 ga left over

OK, I'll wait on the belts and trailer plug.

Forgot about the pigtail. It was mentioned in the write too. I think he gave a part number too.

I must be confused about the breaker. For some reason I thought you put it between the alt and the bat but now that I think about it, that must be wrong.

I do have a 100 amp breaker between the bat and the bluesea fuse box.

 

Nice how much wire??

and yea i have a breaker between the alter and battery...not totally needed..but nice to have.

 

the 4 ga? Quite a bit. I few smaller pieces, 18-36", and an 8' section of the flexible amp stuff and I also have some of the stiffer type used for winches.

Why? Need some?
