Good Call. I put every receipt in my center console. Not the neatest way to file them. Definitely not the easiest way to find the one you want either, but regardless, I can usually dig them up. Alternators should be easy to swap out huh? Just bolt them in? I actually have never had the pleasure.

Super easy
Super easy on these trucks, put 1/2 inch ratchet in tensioner pulley, lift, pop belt off. take off wires, unbolt old aternator, bolt in new one, put belt back on. may want to disconnect batteries, or at least tape off the wires once you take them off so not shorts.

I know most of already are aware of this, but this morning it was a warm 48*. My Battery light flickered while my truck was turning over. I took it as the truck reminding me.. she doesnt like winters. So I went in and cleaned my battery terminals and lubbed them up with some Nolax.. Thought I might share, knowing that some of use wait until we are reminded..

I didnt even look this morning Justin.. I kind of just got out of bed and ran to work, I am thinking the 2 year old had some quality time with my alarm clock last night.
Justin, are you in Michigan Chapter?

Sweet. Thanks for the link. I cant get it to the "printable page" though. I want to have the full resolution pics with the descriptions and it says at the bottom "click the printable page button". Cant find the darn thing. No way I'll be able to see those tiny pics while i'm doing it and there's no way I am going to copy paste all the pics. I'm sure its easy to do even with just the write up but still...

That is funny. Think it may have been something to do with the snooze button? LOL. No I am not. What is it all about? Where do I find info on it?

There isnt much going on with it yet, alot of people drop in and read, some post, Hoping to get some GTG out of it this year though. We had a few. One in Frankenmuth, one in Lansing, but hoping to see a few more this year.
