My Album!

[radialarm]

I'm working on my gallery, this is the first time my Truck has been seen on any website. Ain't y'all lucky! The first picture is for Skan (75 Datsun pickup), but y'all can see my real truck if you dig a little deeper. I guess I could have washed it up for you, but it's a little nippy out this morning. You will also see a beautifut young ladyguns: watch it guys she's only 9) and rite handsome young man(me). In my later editions I will show my E-Fan, and G3 alt. setups. Feel free to leave any comments.

Nice looking truck.

 

[radialarm]

Thanks, Man!

 

[Skandocious]

Wow, gorgeous truck. Why haven't you shown that thing off before?

The Ford is nice too Nah seriously man. Nice truck

Get those 3G alt pics up soon. I think I'm going to upgrade my tired 95amp to a 160amp.

That's a nice lookin' truck...

Seems like you posted the mileage somewhere yesterday, and it was impressively high, but I can't remember. How many miles does it have on it?

Why do you want a 160 amp alt?

 

[radialarm]

Thanks, Chris! Ian it has 295,043.2 as of today.

 

[Likeastone]

that is a sweet truck!!

 

[radialarm]

Thank you, Erica.
Chris get me a couple good clear photos of your alt. bracket and I'll tell you if you can do it.

 

[Skandocious]

Oh I know I can. My alternator is already 3G. I'm just not sure about the rewiring of the charge cables. Is it pretty easy?

 

[radialarm]

Yes! I used #2 welding cable, a 175anp mega fuse, 4 copper solder terminals. and a terminal protector. you hav to leave your old charge cable on the solenoid so your volt meter will work. just tape up the end that went to the alt. If you need a terminal protector I have a few extras.

Matt, If you have a higher that stock electrical load (high watt amp, Electric fans, etc..) then you need a large alt.

 

[Skandocious]

Just dawned on me... Do I still need to change my charge cable if I've got a 3G alternator stock? Are the cables bigger from the 95amp to the 160amp?

 

[Skandocious]

Matt, If you have a higher that stock electrical load (high watt amp, Electric fans, etc..) then you need a large alt.

My electric fan eats power for breakfast. The alternator keeps up pretty well but when I start to add other things to the mix like wipers, defroster, two 10" subs, etc, the alternator struggles a bit. Brand new, a 95amp would probably do just fine but I think mine is getting a little tired.

 

[SuperCab]

I was wondering what all could you do to need 160 amps?

I forgot about your e-fans. That would make a huge difference.

 

[radialarm]

My stock charge cable got a little hot when I was trying to test the Taurus fan setup. That I didn't use after all.

But your stock cable was 2G wasnt it?

 

[radialarm]

No! My stock alt was a 3g. The 130 was a direct swap, except my charge cable wasn't large enough. other connector plugged right in.

Here's a link to my gallery at the other place. Maybe they will let you see it.

 

[Skandocious]

Ohh okay. Yeah 95, nevermind. For some reason I was thinking your truck was older.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Why do you want a 160 amp alt?

Heck that is easy. He's going to weld Skanks butt together.
