I have seen that pic somewhere with the 5 pairs of sunglasses. Dont know the sotry behind it though. LOL
I need AC, however the truck has a spot for an emissions air pump. Which I have ready arent good air pumps. So the spare alt was going there, along with a throttle level for voltage reg like stated. IIRC the doidoes need to be cahnge as well to non-avalanche style. I should have an old RV2 AC compressor that I was going to try to mount but found out about the weldernator. I could probably have both belt driven. hmmm Also the newer 12v compressors are nice and alot easier to install vs a belt driven ac compressor, and keep teh current ac.
Cody, not running the alt as a dual alt setup. The internal regulator is bypassed if the alt used has one. So the alt will just be mounted on the enigne unused until I need to weld or the main dies. I will then have an external reg mounted and ready to bypass the stock system. currently it is controlled by the pcm and seems to be a common failure on the earlier pcm controlled regulators. Its an 89 Dodge.
i read about using the chevy alts, not sure on the dodge ones, as I have a couple old 80's 120amp alts from an old ex-cop car Diplomat.
Lots of info from
Google
Wanted first hand experince with them. Also read that using the wrong alt will kill it quickly. Hence the diode swap, but not sure if that fixes all the issues.
