Alternator swap

Postby blackthree4me » 20 Mon Sep, 2010 12:11 pm

Finaly got the alternator swaped out in the buggy yesterday man what a pain took me most of the day.
It goes together pretty easy but that was on the engine stand, doing that on the floor under the rear deck lid sucked

Went to the autoparts to get my refurb $70 and they forgot to ship it out GRRRRRR

Went back home pulled out the crusty one from the ranch buggy cleaned it up and hoped for the best
got it all put back together and fired it up seemed to be charging ok @ 11 volts with the headlights on :D

1 down 100 to go
if it aint broke, break it then fix it

Baby steps right. At least something came off the list. Seems like when I work on something, I add 2 or 3 items to the repair list. Not that I break stuff, but just find new stuff to do. I guess I should just leave stuff alone.
