Alternator hookup?
Not sure how to hook my alternator up, I think I have it wrong, my battery is boiling and the truck will not run on just the alternator. I have the Batt wire, which I know where it goes, but the other wire I don't know for sure, choices are Stator, Field, Ground. I am pretty sure the ground comes from engine block, so I think it is either stator or field. There was another wire on the alternator at one time that went partly up the harness to a connector that was never connected to anything.
So, anyone know for sure what the deal is? I have a new alternator and am changing the regulator too.
One thing, I had a serious drain on my battery, the other wire was hooked to the field. I have now moved it to stator and seem to have lost the drain, but still won't run on alternator alone.
Ideas?
