    Alternator Wiring How-To

    Ok so I rewired everything, put a new voltage regulator on, and had the alternator checked but I still get nothing. Could they have possibly not run the alternator check correctly? I really don't know what else it could be at this point. Any opinions? LB

    Alternator Wiring How-To

    Can anyone explain the proper procedure for wiring an alternator and external regulator from scratch? I've done the research and all I find are wiring diagrams which do not explain how to connect it. There are 3 connections on the alternator and 3 connections on the regulator. Also, I'm...

    OK ELECTRICAL WIZARDS

    I'm sorry, I'm not tracking on this one. JRichker. The basic diagram doesn't really point me in the right direction. I guess what I"m asking is what needs to be hooked up? I will double check but I believe the regulator has positions for A, S, I. Are those Alt, Stator, Ignition? On the...

    OK ELECTRICAL WIZARDS

    Reviving an old thread here. I'm doing some rewiring in my F150 and it has this same setup. I do not want to upgrade to a 3G at this time assuming it fits. Does anyone know what needs to be wired up? As it stands, it doesn't charge. I took the alternator in to get it checked and put a new...

    Dummy's guide to intakes and tuners.....

    Definitely not arguing that they can refuse to work on the car but they don't have the power to void a warranty. That takes a special trip from Ford engineer type specially flown in. LB

    Setting The Record Straight

    Any idea how much it costs to get the pcm reprogrammed and can any dealership do it? I read your article on the swap but I'm curious about the back up lights. It seems that is the only area that requires splicing into the harness with the new pigtails for the other part. Am I correct on that...

    another issue to consider is the altitude where you are located. I live 5300ft above sea level and I would probably produce similar results. Also as stated above, it depends on the "rolling road". Different ones produce different numbers. As far as custom tunes go, you should still see...

    gt gears 3:31 and 3:55

    Actually it is going to be easier on your transmission on a basic car. The only time you are going to have major problems is 1) put a set of slicks on the back. It will cause a lot of stress on the driveline as a whole. 2) put a power adder on the motor. Too much torque out of the motor and...

    I agree with the theoretical physics to a certain point (too many variables in exhaust/head design) from motor to motor. I think this issue comes down to Ford quality design (head/guide/valve). Almost all exhaust mods for these cars gain almost no gain in performance. Ford designed the...
