ArdWrknTrk Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Yes, the LRC might have something to do with it. And grounding the regulator is a good plan. In daylight, when it's not raining... I guess it's late enough to start the truck and not tick off the neighbors. I'm off to go figure this out. I also got a couple of bolts from seatbeltplanet.com yesterday, so I can fix that. Hope this doesn't take too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Good luck! Welp, that's not good... After sitting on the charger overnight my battery should be better than that. The regulator is really buried and I can only see the screws with an inspection mirror. I'll find a way. I did get the seatbelt bolts in though. So I might as well celebrate the small victories.

Nope, that's not good. You said there's still a draw with the alternator disconnected? Depending on the charger you had on, it must be a pretty significant draw.

Depending on the charger you had on, it must be a pretty significant draw. Sears automatic with 2/10 & 60A boost. The 'draw' was mostly me being an idiot and not moving the lead to the Amps socket. This is what happens when you have a plethora of test equipment. It's really in the milliamps, so shouldn't be a cause, or an issue. Yes there's no change with the alternator charge cable disconnected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsai Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Apparently my missing tires decided to take the scenic route to get here, and are currently in California. Estimated delivery is now a week from today. My last two tires are still on the move. So far their routing has been: South Bend IN Chicago IL Bloomington CA Grants NM Henryetta OK That puts them on I-40, so I'm expecting Memphis, then maybe Birmingham and then Atlanta. Here's hoping... Huntsville AL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsai Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 So, maybe get them installed Tuesday?As long as they're not mounted on the delivery truck, yeah, great. I'm expecting they'll be delivered Tuesday afternoon, so I'll probably get them installed Wednesday. I made the mistake of scheduling with the install shop before I had the tires in hand, I won't do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I had to drive 30 minutes to work to pick them up, and then thirty minutes back. I had no idea when I was going to get them on since I assumed my tire shop was only open M-F, and I didn't have any of those days off for awhile. I had to drive right past my tire shop on the way home, and when I saw the doors open, I realized they are open on Saturdays 7-12, so I turned around and had them mounted.
