Capacitor will do nothing load is load 195 amp is still 195 amps. I'm wondering as the grid heaters age if they can possibly get higher current flow. I know science says no, it suppose to be less current flow.

My AirDog still going. First pump head lasted 13 years and 250k miles. Now working on my second pump head.

Still leads me back to the beginning with my truck. Why is it 10 years can go by and never have an alternator issue now it's a constant battle? The battle begins in the fall and goes to spring. Never an issue in the summer. The only thing I can say is the grid heater degrades over time and creates these issues.

Some fuel station have really poor filters, some don't really care.

I'm trying the figure out how to prevent diode damage. I'm tired of changing alternator in the winter. Last winter I changed out 3 alternator. Never a problem all summer.

Should seen the 5 head of Elk walking along the highway this morning. Hunter driving right on by... Private land.

Something I figured out the other day. I had started my truck cold after doing a valve adjustment and the grid heater was cycling in and out as normal. Then I placed my hand on the back of the alternator near the diode plate and Wow! that thing gets hot. Even with the Quadzilla bumping up the idle to 1,200 RPM with its own high idle the draw of the grid heater is considerable. I'm starting to think it might a be a good suggestion to replace my grid heater here in the future and see if the diode heat is reduced.

So far I'm really impressed with the lifespan on the tire and the winter performance. Just under $950 for the set of four 245/75 R16. Still rated for 3,042 pounds @ 80 PSI.

Actually, it keeps the SEO strong. Foul language tends to destroy the SEO power of the site. If you're wondering what SEO it is Search Engine Optimations.

This happens to be a Chevy small block of some sort. Like 350 CID. The adjustable rockers and the valve cover bolt holes are the give away.

There is huge database of words I jacked in.

OEM batteries were 750 CCA for 2nd Gen. Being there is two batteries its actually 1,500 CCA. The only one that is different is 1st Gen trucks with group 31 batteries and typically 1,200 CCA.

Welcome to the family here. Sound like you well experienced with the Cummins engine. You'll be a good asset for all the newbies here.

Yeah, Edge products are proud of the Edge Juice with Attitude CTS.

I'm also running HF impact guns. My 1/2-inch gun has been taking a beating and holding up awesome. My 3/8-inch gun still works but the socket keeper ring fell off so sockets have to be held in place. My 3/8-inch HF air ratchet I broke the ratchet wheel. It's dead. But I should be using that to break stuck bolts loose like a breaker bar. Now I've used a few battery powered guns. The last one I used was so damn powerful The bolts for the cross member for the transmission it took the head and rounded it over. The next bolt it broke the head off. I stopped dropped that beast and went back to normal hand tools to quit ruining hardware because of a over-powered tool.

Simple sell the Edge Juice for $500 which is 50% of the new price tag and would be a fair price. Now the Quadzilla is $674. You shouldn't have much trouble affording the Quadzilla. Yank that Edge juice out and put an ad in the classified area here and get it sold! https://www.dieselautopower.com/quadzilla-power-1998-5-2000-dodge-5-9l-cummins-adrenaline-with-iquadbt https://edgeproducts.com/shop/98-5-00-dodge-5-9l-cummins-juice-w-attitude-cts2

Body screw or bolt. I used the bolt holding the PDC to the fender.

OMG. That must have sucked. Hanging over the engine and pull the EGR cooler and manifold just to do two freeze plugs. I hope you get paid properly for this job.

Bring the beer... I'll do it.

It should look nice and clean... Yeah there is nothing on the alternator charge stud because the W-T ground wire mod has been done. This can become a 140A protected stud now too.

Nice! That will do it.

So you need to buy those from Alaska right?

So throw 10 gallons in the tank and see if it makes a difference.
