Got te dreaded low volt light today. Made it home on battery power only tg.
Swapped in an ad244. Seems to work for now.
Had to get a longer belt and a 3" 3/8 bolt and nut. Had the plug already and resistor for excite wire. Wired up a sense wire to distribution block.

Got in an overdrive alternator pulley 49mm. I was able to go back to the stock size belt, its on the tight side, but there is still adjustment left in the tensioner, and the belt is nearly brand new so it'll likely stretch a tiny bit. Was able to return the bigger belt, so it was actually cheaper to get an overdrive pulley. Considering the rpm range of the tbi is like 500-4000 rpms I doubt I will see any disadvantage of running the overdrive pulley.
Volts sit right on 14v on the gauge @ idle now with max a/c and (stock) stereo cranked & lights on. Before I was seeing >12v.

Damn ICM is crapping out again. Its only been like 1000 miles. It dies if I let it sit and idle in 100+*F
Ponied up for the ACDelco and MX5 this time. Do people not relocate these things on these rigs? Seems like a major weak point on the TBI trucks

My son came home for good from the Navy on Wednesday. He replaced my shocks on all four corners this weekend/today. He's also going to tackle my blend door actuators since the one on the driver side is now squeaking. It's great to have an extra hand!
We need pics of this truck.... we always hear about it but never see..

At least there's no rust.

Oh but there is!! On the roof, it needs to be taken care of but it's mostly just where the clear came off. No major rust, no missing parts at least LOL

This is true, just Florida sun beating the hell out of all of the plastic on the truck. At least my dash is in one piece.
I got to drive her today and oh my, so in love with the new ride. I also discovered just how absolutely ****** my seats are. Almost time for that GMT800 swap for the fronts.
There is a shop not far from me that has one of those NNNBS Suburbans cut down to a 2 door. Quite the interesting looking mod. I'll take pics if it is still out front later this week.

Was getting codes for multiple mis fires (0300's), cat converter right bank (0420) and air mass sensor. Changed out distributor. No change. Cleaned Air mass sensor with correct cleaner and cleaned the throttle body and replaced throttle body gasket. Drove 50 miles or so mixed driving and suddenly computer reset and check engine light is no longer on. Rechecked OBD II and just have a pending code for 0420.

Changed blower motor, blower motor resistor, and dash control switch. While the blower was out, I was able to clean large debris from the condenser compartment and rinse off the condenser. I didnt have access to a hose so I just used a spray bottle and dish scrubber with plastic bristles. Not perfect but much cleaner than before.
