    10si and the idiot light always on

    Done, it was the coil (stator). Leaving this here in case someone finds it useful. Diagnosed all parts, all of them pass the tests. The symptoms are a lowish voltage with the engine on, rising with rpms, and idiot light on. First thing you wonder is regulator, test with battery, fast charger...

    Wow, hadn't seen this message. Yes on volts, and the light shuts off while cranking. Currently waiting on shop, see what they find.

    Alright, finally had a chance to do the triode today, swapped it for the old one, and now it doesn't send anything. It's like the alternator is disconnected. What can I do now?

    Alright, I'll get to the tridiode tomorrow and post results, glad I kept the old one since it didn't have any issues during testing; however, if I were to use the truck, what could happen if this issue isn't corrected?

    Hey, I have a new symptom, the idiot light flickered a little when throttling, still on thought - tried this again and it flickered when around 14.2 volts

    Alright, step by step: Ground on socket: Light on Removed ground: Light off T2 to B+, testing T1: Light on (and same volts as battery) With engine on: Light on

    Thank you very much; I did test the tridiode using the manual indications (just in case, since electrical parts sold here have no guarantee) before installing it. With the ohmmeter negative on A and positive on B, it read from 300 to 400 on all 3; but negative on B and positive on A it read 1...

    I used this as a guide

    None, used the original plug as it was. Maybe? It could be backwards. Would it damage the regulator if I flipped the plug to test?

    10si and the idiot light always on

    Hi, hope you're doing well. I recently rebuilt my alternator, a 10si. The original issue was that it was pushing 17 volts, so while replacing the regulator, I replaced the brushes, tridiode, diode carrier also. Checked bearings and winding. Confirmed it was only the regulator not working, but...

    What compressor/gas?

    Omg I just noticed my autocorrect switched 134 for 144 hahahahaha

    What compressor/gas?

    Thank you for your replies; I've no idea if the system has had a retrofit already. However, from what I could read on that, the accumulator should point out if it uses r144. Gonna check tomorrow. While we're at it, do you guys have a part number for that compressor?

    What compressor/gas?

    Hi there, hello, hope you're having a wonderful day - because I'm certainly not (for unrelated reasons). So, one of the things I have in my to-do list is A/C gas recharge, however, in order to find where to go, I should know what gas my truck uses. Since I find conflicting information whether...

    What did we do before cup holders?

    Dude, the floor one, gonna build one; that checks all the boxes!

    What did we do before cup holders?

    I've been racking my brain on ways to add a cupholder on the door panel, but haven't figured out how to hold it without risking the weight breaking the panel and pulling a piece of it. Another issue is opening the door with the cup holder full and risking spilling whatever's in it. I mostly used...
