Re: PLEASE Help Its the Transmission Again
Oct-18 Update
Had alternator rechecked at Oreilly's- passed
Did not know exactly how to check for AC through battery- my voltmeter leads got very hot when contact made with positive/negative posts.
Cleaned used dielectric grease on alternator contacts and gound under passenger side intake.
Replaced alternator 2-prong plastic female socket.
It was brittle and crumbled when removed
Sodered used socket to leads, wrapped with electric tape
Noticed that the plastic at the base of the alternator positive bolt is cracking away.
Went for a test drive
Shifted fine until hard acceleration
Stalled, had to crank and push accelerator multiple times to restart
Power light still does not illuminate at start up
Probable next steps:
Replace alternator with a new one
Test was not performed under hard acceleration
Leaning towards Trevor's suggestion- THANX
Is a 110 amp preferrable to, or worth the extra money as, a 95?
Again, your suggestions, time and knowledge is a appreciated.
Peace,
Jeff
