Congratulations on the fix. It proves that if you stay with it you can solve most of the electrical problems on our trucks with the help of the guys on this forum.

It's been an interesting thread to say the least and I hope it helps a lot of the viewers.
One comment I would like to add is pertaining to the last post about idle charging being lower. Even the SI alternators are prone to this, and that's why I usually recommend going straight to the CS 130 or CS 144 style. They put out more charge at idle than the SI when a load is heavy at idle. They are just as easy to convert, are way more plentiful, and good used units are cheap.
