I replaced the alternator and now the charging system works. I'm waiting on the correct tone wheel for the tach to operate correctly. I found I only had 1/2" between the front bump stops and the leaf springs so I am replacing the leaf springs in the front and adding a add a leaf in the rear. This means a drop pitman arm as well. I decided to swap out the front axle gears now instead of waiting. That led to needing new ball joints and axle u joints. I got new non auto lock outs and will be ditching the factory auto locking hubs. I got a new grill and emblem, fog lights, and balanced one of my wheels and tires. Now I'm waiting for parts. I have been trying to get some stuff done outside before winter sets in. I'm really up against the wall as I crushed the caddy today hoping to use the cash for Excursion parts. Momma kept the money for Xmas presents. I guess she's kosher with no wheels then.
