Anyone run a GM one wire alternator? I'm thinking about buying this one, https://puredieselpower.com/dodge-produ ... duct/18523. I know there are probably cheaper ways to do it but I'm not interested in doing any modifications. I want something that's plug and play.

I'm actually having an electrical issue right now. Do you have a diagram for that heated tailgate? There may be a short some where :lol:

Sorry no I do not. I don't work on Fords and I don't let them park in the drive way for that reason. :mrgreen:

Looking at the prices on FB for trucks is making it really hard not to sell all 3 or part them out. I'm not sure what they are worth but looking on facebook it looks like I have at least 12 grand sitting.

There was CL post tagged yesterday with a 93 rclb that the guy wanted $29k for. That is just freaking ridiculous. Mine didn't even cost that brand new, and mine is a Canadian market truck, so it cost more money to begin with.

Also I'm pretty angry with my autometer boost gauges, and overhead pod. The overall gauges line straight up broke tonight, and the primaries line is kinked so bad it's non functional. They'll also pop out like they're spring loaded if I don't put them in right. Makes me wish I had isspro digital gauges right now. Going to try to find some 90* fittings to switch to, and try to at least solve the kinking issue.

That's good and bad, that much that fast most of it runs off. It is getting ready to downpour here right now, trying to go thru my stuff so I can get off the computer!

I don't get that much run-off here. My farm is pretty flat and it's all pasture and we have a sandy loam here so it soaks in really quick.

It has been a bad/good summer for hay, row crops and the yard, we get rain about every 2-3days so you can't cut hay or mow dry grass, we just mow it wet and that sucks, for the hay I think i just mite sell all my stuff and buy a bushog and be done with it all, got rid of all my cows when the market was out of site and never got back in......I am pretty happy right now not beeing tied to the farm.

Stupid 23 year old windshield wiper motor's nylon crank-to-connecting rod bushing decided to let-fly during a CRAZY heavy rain on the way to the coast Friday night.
Drove annoyingly (to fellow motorists) slow to the nearest parts house and replaced in the parking lot.

Good times.

Mine did the same thing during rush hour in Portland. Luckily I was able to pull over and the rain quit in less than 10 minutes. Seems like there would be a better setup for something like that
