So, I went to the local shop the other day. He had an AD-244 in stock that he had marked as a 190amp. Went to pick it up, and he carried out to the counter laughing, saying "you are going to like this one" It seems he had just tested it, 175amps at an idle.... and 215 at full output. Swap...

I am likely going to source locally in the end... I am seeing conflicting information as to if it will drop in and clear a rear bracket or not.... any conclusion on this? I am assuming it only uses 2 bolts, and not the extra 'tab' off the back that is on the cs130d (and not the AD244)

Did you have to use a longer belt? I went and looked at Quadstar's site, I do not see the alternator listed..... I have been digging for a better alternator for my 99 Burb.... snowplowing is a heavy draw, especially when running a Code 3 MX7000 lightbar (5 rotor!!)

Honestly, I think the reverse light issue is what finally did it in. I am guessing gradually strand by strand broke... getting down to the last couple, which the overload from the reverse light problem finally burned it the rest of the way off. I still need to figure out where my short is...

So.... for future reference - its fixed.... I traced it out to be the ignition switch. Went and got a new one, and half way through installing it, I discovered that on the main pink wire coming from the switch, someone had put a side tap in. Presumably for a remote start at some point in its...

Missing schematic

Updated info: I used a test light to confirm which circuits are non-functional: Fuse # - Name 4 - Gauges 10 - Air Bag 14 - Illum 16 - Turn B/U Intersting to point out, that schematic shows a 10a fuse for ECM (as does the owners manual) but the tag on the fuse door does not.

Ok... my 1995 Suburban decided to give me a strange issue today. I have been having problems with the backup lights blowing the fuse. I havent had time to track down the issue, so I tossed a circuit breaker in its place, so at least the signals would stay working once it reset. This morning...

Leroy Nailed It!! I pushed against the down pipe and also the cross over, and the noise went away.... When I feel like climbing under and looking closer, I am sure I will find either one of them is loose, or hitting something.

I have no clue what 'brand' SS Diesel Supply sold (sells)..... Power Steering does have fluid - thats another one of the blended rust proofing coatings I employ on the undercarriage.... Therefore, it gets filled regularly It has a factory exhaust - so I wouldnt think the downpipe would hit...

Guys, I have had this knock in (around) my engine, pretty much since I put it together in 2010. Its in my 95 Suburban, and its a 6.2 block with 6.5 parts on it. When I put it together, it got new SS Diesel 6.5 heads, new balancer and pulley, fresh oil pan gasket, etc. It only does this at...

I should mention that this has forced me to break out the 'semi-retired' 95 and put some miles on it. Showing me I need to get some work done on that... Havent really driven it since buying the Jetta TDI 2.5 years ago.

Have it lined up to go to a shop on Monday. The last 2 times, the bearing was replaced with a Timken. This time it will still get a Timken, but its going to be a different installer. Thinking about it; the wheel spins freely (no obvious binding) upon install. Tires are wearing evenly, it...

Being that I replaced the first one - I would have never checked such a thing. There was no 'issue' at that point. The thing has 220k miles on it.... maybe 15k of those I put on, so I have no idea if its been 'curbed'. Where might one locate a knuckle? I would be weary of a junkyard one...

You guys thinking I should try a different shop? (not doing it myself in this 15° temperatures!!)

I know the guy at the shop has done the preload 2 different ways... One with it jacked up, one with it on the ground. The shaft has been replaced at least twice. once because it snapped, another because when the bearing failed it 'punched' all the threads off the end. For what its worth... I...

Hey guys - long time no talk... I am posting this here because I feel it pertains more to the older chassis and suspect I will get a better answer about it. My wife's 99 burb, we have been through no less than 8 front passenger wheel bearings in the last 4 years. I replaced the first one...

Thats about what dad sees in his 07 LBZ. He is in love :) I think he is really glad that lady totaled his old truck (02 GMC 6.0 CCSB) last November.

A guy I work with bought one of these.... http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/tool-cabinets-and-carts/five-drawer-service-cart-95272.html I am VERY impressed with how rugged it is. The steel is a lot thicker than normal for HF boxes, and the drawer rollers work really decent. The casters...

Judd, I have an installation PDF for remote start someplace, I will send it over shortly... should help.
