Sometimes I do things that don't really need a new thread, mainly because they aren't asking for help. They are like "I did this, here it is, here's some pics, later" type posts. Another site that I am on has a thread like this. I think it is very cool and hip so I am bringing it here.
Today I braved the 38° weather and put my Ohio alt back in.
While I was at it, I did some hunting for an intermittent voltage drop. Found it.
This wire, that went from the alt B+ stud to the battery, passed an initial voltage drop wiggle test a few weeks ago. The wire was secured well enough that I couldn't wiggle it enough to "see" the drop. When I unclipped the zipties that held the wire in place, I had enough slack that I got .7v when I moved it just right. The tubing, wire loom, and boot concealed the now-obvious damage. It was the only ring terminal out of probably 20 in the truck that was crimped on by some fancy crimping apparatus used by the wire manufacturer and not by me. Lesson leaned.
So what did you do to yours?

, and she fired up like a champ!! kinda surprised too... i've read some horror stories of a dead battery due to sitting, etc... she wont go this long without being started again though, thats for sure...
Dealers getting a phone call monday am as they left 2 door panels loose. WTF why is it so hard to find someone that can do their job right the first time.
Sorry back on subject, she is perfectly clean on the inside.
and sent mine off for a reflash.
Was going to replace the axle seal and both LCA brackets today but Im seriously not feeling like it. Maybe this weekend....
It got up into the low 50's by us today. I loved it. Today I went back to the dealer to get some of the concerns I had about the care and quality of work that was done on my truck, which they fixed the door panels and are replacing one of the rear panels that was damaged when they took it off. They are making it right.
