If the 10K has to be in place to see data, then it won't work for further diagnosis on the idle problem you are having. It was not a waste. It ruled out several things and found the low voltage problem.


After the new alternator did you take it for a drive over 45 MPH to get a relearn without the WinALDL connected?
Yes. I replaced the alternator last saturday and drove it most everyday since.
I have not replaced the Map and it should be the original. I tested it months ago to be sure it holds vacuum. Map and ECM are the only things left that haven't been replaced, electronic wise. The rest of the engine electronics are all new including the distributor. Some of that was intentional though due only to the age of the truck.
Thank you very much CT. Your knowledge and experience are greatly appreciated.
