thanks for sticking with me. Rep points sent



Alternator = 4 months, brand ?? (napa special) - working properly

Batteries = 1 month, napa Legend 75's, 850 cca each

 

While GP's are on , you watching the volt meter to tell when they are off?...

 

correct, also used handheld a few months back during intitial daignosis

 

I also have an electrical problem. I took the bumper off so I could straighten it out. Don't ask. Anyways, I found that the cord to plug my truck in had been cut at the male end. What I am wondering is how hard it would be to take off my block heater and put a new cord on it?

Also, I want to thank everyone for the help. Its great to know that there is a place to get help from fellow powerstroke owners. Thanks again.

 

You can just replace the plug if you wish, or , at the block heater it simply un plugs ,replace the cord...

BTW,, what happened to the bumper?...

 

I had to straighten the bumber because I burried the front end in a sink hole and bent the bumper to heck when I pulled it out.

 

sounds like a fairly rare thing to happen(sink hole)

 

Turned out that my gp's were bad. everything is cool now. Next project is figuring out how I can improve the looks and the performance of the truck. I have been having trouble finding anything for my truck since in 97' they made my truck, but changed body styles and made a 250 half ton. Anyone know of any sites to check?
