100 amp alt. ok?
hello, my alt. was starting to make some bearing noiese so i pulled it and took it to the local auto elect. shop and he said to go with the 100 amp. since i had a camper on it and pull things behind me, he said the stock one from ford is 70 amp. and is this going to be alright. thanks for any help on this, i have not seen any glowing red smoking wires yet.and what is that flat metal piece that bolts on a post next to the other two wires for.

It does make sense that someone would come along in a "dead" Dodge and rescue you though. We're a pretty nice bunch of guys with REALLY reliable trucks.
Just goes to show that even a Dodge that looks "dead" can still save a Ford!

The only to jump off of a dodge is to climb up on a cab, its no fun jumping off the bed because most people don't waste there blocks when they sell there tires to some guy that has a ford and can use them. So they are setting on the ground.

I'm like a vulture sitting on my computer waiting to pounce on one of your posts that's worded wrong.
My breath might be as bad as a vulture sometimes too. (Just thought I'd take that one away from you)

Yea I screwed that up maybe you get a point being as I have only the given green mark I don't think we are supposed to give reps for winning the smartarse contest.
Or maybe I just haven't reached a hundred red reps yet.
Not working much lately so what else is more fun than pouncing, I did take a break and went to the sportsman show yesterday,and next weekend is the gun show can't miss that.

We both are appearantly EQUALLY useless as we only have the ONE green square.
I am highly distressed by my lonely green cube, I think I will log-on as somebody else like:
"giantfordloverofallthingsbearingthesacredblueoval "
Then I could give MYSELF rep points AND also go up to the PowerStroke forum and have those guys "rep the snot out of me".
Then figure out how to "hack into the system" and transfer all of the points over to Dodge/Cummins!
Well maybe NOT.

OK, I come on here almost everyday but if I get that hung up on being "COOL" to people I have never met in person I have a SERIOUS problem.
Of course in addition to the OTHER problems I already have.

Maybe I'm not as cool as I THINK I am?
Nah, that CAN'T be it.

Well I've gone about as far as I'm comfortable with while trying to pi$$ you off so I guess I'll go to bed.
I have to work on a Jeep tomorrow, crappy Dana 35 is so noisy now that I'm SURE it's going to give up the ghost soon. It's only had about 40K miles on it since it started getting loud.
