[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1249660, member: 15940"] Now is where things turned sour.. So I ran the motor and started checking things. The first thing I found--the alternator wasn't putting anything out and I wired the charge lamp bulb into the mix. Well of course that and the check engine lamp(which is actually the brake lamp bulb) didn't turn on. So I went and pulled the cluster out--damn there are not bulbs in the charge lamp and brake lamp. So now I am thinking great--no problem. So before I threw the cluster in--I checked for continuity from the cluser to the alt--none. Crap. Well on the 1st gen trucks they used a charge lamp relay and I somehow crossed the wrong 2 wires so the circuit was open. So I corrected that and rechecked--yup continuity. Thew the cluster back in and thinking great---should all be ok. Well the alternator still inst putting anything out--fawk. I was lucky enough for glendon stopping by and just for giggles I double checked my circuit with a known good setup--yup the alt is BAD....... So I pulled it so I can grab another tommorow--of course I had to remove a bunch of ****... Well that was the first thing. I ran the motor hot to get the coolant filled--threw the cap on and damn--the radiator is leaking on the upper neck--there is a facture in it. I looked at fixing it but there is too much corrosion around the neck to even do any good....---fawk!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
