    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...

    10si and the idiot light always on

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

    10si and the idiot light always on

    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?

    10si and the idiot light always on

    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?

    10si and the idiot light always on

    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

    10si and the idiot light always 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...

    10si and the idiot light always on

    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...

    Paint schemes?

    Hey guys, hope you are having a lovely day. I have a question; or more of an "I'm looking for ideas" kind of thing. See, my truck is registered as "black and grey", which means I must use black and grey covering 90% of the body exterior. No indications on which surface percentage must be...

    Which diff is this?

    This is a BIG10 with the 292 and th400; but I've no idea which diff I have. Could you please tell me if you can tell which by the pics? Edit: Sorry for posting in the wrong section, if any mod can move it I'd appreciate it.

    My wife is small and is pregnant

    I think I have a bent motorcycle handle bar I could cut and drill to fit the striker. Would be a lot less weird to find laying around than that particular handle design in the picture. "Dude, what is this thing I found under the seat while looking for my keys in the dark?" "Oh, that's the tiger...

    My wife is small and is pregnant

    So, wife found this thread and made the call. A foldable steppy as long as it's rated for 200 pounds (around 100 kilos, more to be safe), and tie a rope to the door so she can pull the steppy after being seated. I reckon I could tie it to the B pillar where the seatbelt bolts since it shouldn't...

    My wife is small and is pregnant

    Those gave me flashbacks (have broken a few). They're fairly reliable for home use, but once they get some heat, the hinges are vulnerable. This is the one I found for 25 dollars, folds flat, can be set behind the seat, and the long handle will allow the wife to pull it after getting in the...

    My wife is small and is pregnant

    Alright, seems this is a more common situation that I thought hahaha, I actually found that amazon step model for sale here... At USD 247 for each side, ouch. The Bully kit wasn't available unless for import to arrive in a couple of months. The handles were cheaper, but a non-decorative one...

    My wife is small and is pregnant

    Thank you so much for the replies, I completely forgot the saddle tanks being right there by the frame. That amazon hoop step design did give me an idea for a removable one that could be hooked from inside to outside and under the door, so long as I don't damage the weather rubber thing. That...

    My wife is small and is pregnant

    What's up guys? Everything good? Having a good day? I wanted to ask you for ideas; you see, my wife is having some difficulties getting in the truck, and it isn't even lifted. She suggested adding interior handles above the doors, but I'm thinking of a running bar (don't know if that's the...
