I have a 1994 gmc step side pretty sure its a 1500 pretty sure its a 5.7 got it at the auction thinking the motor is not the original anyway running great except for minor crack at the top of the radiator wasnt that big deal but I did got get one at the junk yard and replaced and no problems there but having a charging problem it only is putting out about 11 i only have 1 wire coming off the back going to the pos on battery boyfriend says the plug on the back is just for gauges not sure but was wondering because i am a small gall maybe i didnt get the belt tight enough??? it feels tight to me and it turns real good but??? i dont know and i am trying to figure this out because i am left home alone with my dog all day and he never has enough time
Plug it in. Why did he not plug it in?
He is to busy to plug a connector into the alternator?
If it is unplugged? How did you determine that it is only outputting 11 volts?
Does he have some bizzare reason for not plugging it in?
The belt uses a spring loaded tensioner.
If it is working it tightens on its own.
Does he know that you are asking questions online or do you feel that you dont want him to know about it.
Is this your only vehicle and are you stuck at home and cant go anywhere untill he decides to fix it?
is he actively trying to repair your truck or does he go fart around with it for a little while and then come up with some new reason why you cant drive it.
I could be wrong and I really do hope that I am wrong
But one of the sure as hell trademark signs of men abusing women is to deny them a way to get the **** out.
The car will always be broken and they will always need to go buy another part and you will always be told that you cant touch it without screwing it up and making it worse.
And they will just keep finding another way to sabotage it
That is how manipulative controlling wife abusers work.
That is dirt common ******* behaviour.
A real man wants his wife to be his lifelong partner and his equal in fending off the worlds nonstop bullshit.
Any real man. any real partner in life would never leave you stranded.
If I came home friday night and my wife told me she had fried the transmission on her car I would be out in the garage pulling it Saturday morning.
I could be wrong, but I think something screwy is going on with a guy who doesnt have enough time to snap a plug into place.
I will help in any way I can.
