altenator problem
everthing was fine untill i swaped the gauge cluster from a 94 f150 with a tach into my 92 f150 and when i started it the voltage gauge stayes really low and i put a meter on the battery and it olny at 11.8v while running i also swaped out another altenator i had that should be good and the same thing also my abs light is on but i dont think that has anything to do with it any ideas on why this would happen thanks

put your old one back in. i friend my alternator and almost fried my battery doing this a couple weeks ago. you NEED the same year. i tried to squeak by with a different one too and it caused major trouble.
i finally found the right year one and it should be here thursday. hopefully it goes more smoothly. too bad i just sold my 92 on ebay the other day.
see my post to find out what i mean:

Your green wire with a red stripe does not have any power on it going to the alternator although it will not hurt the alternator or battery it will charge until you put battery voltage on this wire.
Here is the charge problem, as you can see the wires or on the wrong plug and pins.
