  1. 6.0 Motor problems
    Good evening all! It's been a while since I posted a question on here, which is usually a good sign! I'm in the market for an alternator for my '05. It hasn't gone kaput entirely yet, but I had the belt off the other day and noticed it was making a fair bit of noise. The reason I had the belt...

    I installed a rebuilt Lifetime Warranty 200amp alternator in May 2019. It worked great until May 2023. Battery light came on about 1/2 mi from home. Went straight home and opened the hood. Found smoke and flames coming out of the back of the alternator. Disconnected batteries and put the...

    I'm doing a little charity work for the local volunteer Fire rescue that inherited this 2004 Ford ambulance. I installed a new alternator in a dual alternator set up (the lower one) and I have this connector left over on the harness that runs across the rear hood seal. It is clean inside, so it...

    Hello everyone! So my batteries died on me a few months ago. I replaced both batteries because I assumed they were bad because they were very old.

    Like the title says, the truck is absolutely dead. 6.4L '08. The batteries died on 2/18. Jumped then went to costco and got 2 new ones on 2/19.

    I am considering buying a new F250 with diesel. I want to buy it with dual alternators, and then disconnect one so I can use it to power a bank of batteries in the truck bed. How hard is it to reprogram the computer to have it ignore the second alternator? Can anyone tell me the actual codes...

    Hi guys, new to the forum and I’ve been doing a lot of reading these past couple days but I can’t find anyone with quite the same problems that I am having.
