Working on the trucks

[Mopar1973Man]

Just working on The Beast. Got the steering box adjusted good. Fixing my fuse for the alternator. New seat covers and even washed The Beast off.

 

Had to have a few tools so Thor got in on the photo.

Now I got to revisit the alternator on the Beast. I gor @Wet Vette to help me clean the truck. Then ran to town for chicken for dinner. We packed up some more stuff like a blanket. Made it to Smokey Boulder Road but the alternator quit charging. Double checked the field, circuit breaker, and protection fuse. I turned around and had dinner in the yard.

 

Now the next thing is verify the field leads and voltage. If I got to I could bench test this alternator.

 

Post more tomorrow...

Sorry Jag, I am at @Dieselfuture's house helping to keep the coolers from overloading. Them damn chickens can run all they want. Makes the legs bigger.

Well with last night run and the alternator not working I first plugged in the OBDII reader and check for codes there was a whole rash of sensor codes, communication and other odd ball codes. Most likely when the head was off I had ignition on a few times. Now I reset all the codes and now the alternator is firing up and working. Ok weird but I'm going to keep testing locally. 

 

I've got the truck cleaned up with the seat covers and nice to drive once again.

Got any pictures of the seat covers installed?

Looks good!

Just cheap Walmart seat covers. Pull the seat trim off. Unbolt the seat belt and grab handle on the back. Slip the seat cover on and get in position. Then slit the fabric right in the slot of the seat belt. Now slip the fabric behind the plastic and tuck in. Pull the seat belt out the hole and reinstall everything takes about 20 minutes.

 They look good.
