That yellowish stuff on the axle some kind of corrosion inhibitor? If you find another of those cupholders I'd be up for one.

I bought a few off Ebay. They're kind of pricey now.

Today I made brackets to adapt an AD244 alternator to the truck. To make it easier I did the work on a mockup engine rather than on the truck - made it a ton easier to see what was needed. The top bracket was the easy part, I just needed to make a simple offset strap.

The bottom bracket to put the bolt in double shear was the trickier one. To figure out the bracket I took 3 strips of thin cardboard and cut a bolt hole in the end. I then installed those on the 3 bolts/studs I planned to use. I positioned them to where they made a triangle and taped them together. This was my template for making the bracket out of steel. I had a remnant of 1/4” steel plate laying around that was just big enough so I used that. This worked out well.

All installed, even with a belt. I used the existing 6PK2565 belt I had used on the dually and it was a perfect fit without the vacuum pump. I swapped the correct size pulley on the alternator so it will read correctly. BTW, this alternator is rated 145 amps, which isn’t a ton over the stock 105 amps, but low RPM will be significantly higher than the stock CS130 alternator.

I will be blasting and painting all of the accessory brackets for installation later.
 
Good decision on the painting. I had my brackets powder coated and it cracked and fell off. I have been blasting and painting as time allows. I just finished my third bracket which was the alternator bracket. I put it back on yesterday.

I dont know much about powder coat except that when it fails, it fails in a big way.
