Help! Need to know what color wires are on the terminal that plugs into the back of the alternator according to the "letters" on the alternator body... I had to splice mine when I replaced the alternator because the replacement i got from Autozone didnt have the same style terminal... I just made sure that I followed the correct colored wire to the correct "lettered" terminal behind the alternator... A friend of mine was helping me pull the motor when I sold it and he just unplugged it... My fault I forgot to tell him to mark it... I did write it down somewhere but, I cant find that gawt damn paper... shoootz!
BYE, On my schematic it shows 3 different alternators in 82, ,,, 3 wire with external mechanical regulator white=B blue =N black=E 4 wire external electronic regulator yellow=L black=E green=F white=B 3 wire internal regulator white=B yellow=L red=ign choose the one you like
might have to get the right alternator, depending on what you got vs. your truck is wired for. i know i couldn't use my round style plug alternator or external regulator on my oval plug alternator or voltage regulator, whatever it is, unless you re-wired and switched everything..but then you should just do GM alt. my.02 sorry i didn't add any tech
Thanks Nook! Option "B" sounds familiar... J2- I do have the right alternator, just not the right plug as there were some variances... I have no clue regarding the GM alt and really not all that interested since this alt is on lifetime warranty!
rock on.. i thought i had a lifetime warranty( before i went GM alt. )and a year n a half after install when i killed the alternator from unknown issues.. i went to return with my phone number they ask for to do warranty.. and those a*holes said it only stays in system for a year and then you have to have the receipt, WTF ... so lesson learned, orielly is the parts store that keeps number and secondly, upgrade whenever possible or keep receipts
Thats right holmes! I haven't bought another starter, alt, distributor cap, rotor, wires, brake pads, etc for my truck or my wifes car since we moved here... Can't beat that essay! Sorry to hear bout that... So far so good for me, guess I've been lucky... *knocks on wood*
