Eagle_Adam Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 well, surgery went well doc said he would be a rock star if he could get out of bed and walk to the bath room. he did that, and then walked down the hall 75ft to chase a nurse that was flirting with him!! which is great for him, but shortens my time frame for my swap...... 2 Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 right!!! the physical therapist said he could drive his mustang in a few weeks(its an auto) but the datsun was off limits until they cleared him 1 Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 well the truck started making a horrible screaming bearing noise on the way home the other day, followed by the charge light flickering and by the time i got home the charge light was on. so i swapped in a new(re-manned) alt figuring that would solve both my issues or at least let me check off one issue and keep looking for the sound but oddly it only solved the bearing noise...... so riddle me this? why when the truck idles does the charge light turn off and when you hit the gas it comes back on till you release the gas and the RPM's come down......... anywho, while i was int he engine bay i added the new blue bling i picked up from Jrock last weekend yummy! once i have the charge light issue sorted i can DD this truck and take my blue truck down for the KA swap Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Sounds like the voltage regulator might be having some issues. May be over charging at higher RPMs? Link to comment
