Interesting. The newer schematic shows the condenser on the positive of the coil - I'm pretty sure that's what I'm dealing with so I'll move it back and see if that does it. Thanks alot!

I got it running. Fuel solenoid was air locked or something. I pulled the hose off of the carb and it unstuck itself. I hit it with some ether and it fired up while starting but would die when I put the key back to the "ON" position. I took a wire with an alligator clip on it and hot wired...

They're dry but that has more to do with it being a propane rig, no gasoline or diesel involved.

Hi Everybody! I picked up a scissor lift over the weekend. Had / has some wiring issues. I sorted through it and found that a terminal got ripped off of the back of the ignition switch. I soldered a piece of wire to it and connected it up. I got it to crank over after I replaced a bad relay...

I can clear the fault and reset a circuit breaker as opposed to going and finding / purchasing a fuse. Also, for testing, I can push the button and disconnect the alternator; use it for a handy switch. I'm going to do the same thing to the passenger side alternator. I ran out talent trying to...

Interesting. Thanks for the info gents! I never really looked into converting over to the green fluid but now you've got me thinking. I wish I had just done it after getting the new injectors in. I'd like to run the propylene glycol; tough to find anymore. Any reason y'all wouldn't run...

I wasn't aware of anything like that Will L. I poked around and found the one I saw; seems a little spendy - https://www.dieselsite.com/coolantfiltrationsystem-duramax.aspx Wirewrangler

Hi Everybody! I ran across a coolant filter kit with a spin on filter (I don't remember where now) and thought, "well that might be a good idea." Who's running them and what do you have? Is it worth it? Wirewrangler

The AC Delco alternator 321-2128 was $262 no core charge on Amazon. GM parts prime for the rest: $16.36 for the bracket $15.35 for the pulley $5.54 for 2ea bolts 11515769 $18.11 for the connector 15306329 $2.00 for a five pack of terminals $15.60 for a five pack bolts 11516360 I'm planning to...

Here's the circuit breaker I used.

Hi Everybody! Thought I'd post up what I found adding a second alternator to my truck for posterity I guess. I recently added an alternator to my 2003 GMC Sierra 3500 and I only connected 1 wire from the driver side alternator to the ECM. I connected the third terminal over from the left...

Thanks MrMarty51. I figured as much and thanks for the welcome.

Hey Everybody! Earlier this month, I installed a second set of injectors in the truck (2003 GMC Sierra 3500 4x4). It's got 146k on it. I had the first set replaced at 84,000 probably a decade ago now and they've were hazing for quite a while. I can't stand that crap, she needs to run clean...
