Re: 1986 Short bed 2WD



Well its pretty much all together and ready to fire up, except for a couple wires.

I did a little pondering and searching around, figured out my truck is equipped with a 42 amp Delco 10SI alternator. Well thats barely enough to run a carb'd vehicle, never mind a fuel injected beast towing a trailer with electric brakes. So picked up everything I need to convert to a CS144 140 amp alternator and upgrade the electrical system.



CS144 from a 93 Caddy Fleetwood, pulled the battery cable from the car for kicks. Buss bar from a TBI truck, couple of fuse holders from TBI vehicles, 6ft of 8 AWG wire from the Home Depot, bunch of ring terminals and resistors from a local electrical supply house. It was a good day.
