Can someone tag the New Yorkers on this sub here again? https://dmv.ny.gov/inspections/about-new-york-state-inspections I forgot that NYS requires vehicle inspections, im exempt from emissions as the K5 is over 25 years old, though theres others things that could possibly ding me, such as oil...

Left it alone for about 2 hours and cranked it up again (plugged in this time) started on the first try https://photos.app.goo.gl/9QeQDtKN9j3e412g7 Heck the volt meter actually read more favorably this time

DMM? Gonna let it sit overnight (plugged in) ill see how it does in the morning.

Left it alone for an hour or so, didnt plug it in (32°F here) and it actually fired up, didnt hesitate or show signs of struggle. Still, its been that voltage at idle (granted heating is on blast), second pic is voltage while on the interstate (headlights and heating on). Should I test the...

Drove for 40 minutes or so, alternator was up to 13.5 on the interstate, then I turned on the headlights, heating, and then it went down to 12.5. At idle id be at 12.5, then it dipped to just barely above the red zone, then jumped back to 13(ish).

Yup that thing isnt accurate, it was in park in the vid

Replaced the crimp, I dont understand https://photos.app.goo.gl/jNfrr8nhUZVXCfyJ7

Waa going to get this set plus the crimp tool btw...

May i possibly see a photo of this? Im trying hard to visualize this

It only gave me this issue yesterday, really hope the alternator isnt ****ed, its literally new (like 2 weeks new) and the batteries themselves are warrantied out (so they're new too) **** this is wack. Getting the female spade and crimp tool to deal with it today

Speaking of stress, this damn wire popped out and caused the alternator/voltage to just drop nearly leaving me stranded (thankfully a passerby gave me a jump). What is that connector that is circled? I have access to another vehicle so ill he working on this tomorrow, i just cant have this wire...

Damn sir, im sorry to hear that, thats unfortunate to hear

Theyre saying its blood pressure related, and indeed, very glad it happened while I wasnt driving.

I essentially lost consciousness while at my hotel in Cleveland, the VA ER took me in thankfully, but I was out of a commission for a few days after that. Got my mouth wired shut so thats fun, but due to that jaw fracture and misalignment, csnt exactly crawl under and do all I could, so now it...

I figured others who own Squares are from upstate or Long Island, im currently in Long Island sir, but do lmk about those recommendations. I'm well aware these mechanics work on modern beamers, infinities, audis, etc. Not exactly trying to see someone destroy this thing because they don't know...

Damn, I need to get the oil changed, cant do it myself due to the injury, now I need to find a decent shop to do it without destroying the motor (ive heard the jiffy lube horror stories) wish I could do it myself. (Tell tale signs for a decent/competent place?) As for the undercoating stuff...

Well boys, the K5 made its way to NYC. Now im over worried about it rusting out 😭, i already washed it, but theres still salt on the roads which just doesnt help What type of undercoat should I get it? (How the underside looks like)

Update: Trip is back underway, im making a beeline to NY at this point, got a mouth wired shut, cant stand this anymore Starting: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7SGZEpQjuGaxRki66 Weird noise made by starter: https://photos.app.goo.gl/UZwnDtHyTu5R7oYk9 (Not sure what that noise was, not the first...

Update: Trip is on hold, got injured badly, thankfully the VA took me in

It was high sir, granted, I was 7 hours into a drive by then. I chopped the end of it off, peep results.
