Had a little time after work to tinker on the truck. Got the hub seal seated and dust seal installed. Then put the shafts back in, ub bolted on and torqued down. Then finally the lockout back together ha.

Replaced the alternator. Starting about 3 days ago my battery light would flash sometimes. I plugged in my little volt meter and sure enough, it was sitting at 11.4-12v when running. Then at times it would jump to 14.7v for a minute then back down.
Actually pretty easy to do on this truck. Just disconnect battery, remove air intake, take belt off, remove 3 bolts on the alternator and electrical connections and take out, only used 2 sockets (8 mm and 10 mm I believe). Took maybe 1 hour total to do, including going to get the new one.
And no, I did not get a Motorcraft, I went with a new Carquest 130 amp unit. $150 total from Advance Auto. The old one was a reman, don't know where from, my cousin said he replaced it about 5 years ago, but no store had record of it for warranty.
Only thing is the one they gave me has a 8 rib pulley, not the 6 rib, but the belt fits fine.

It'll probably be alright, I'd keep an eye on for a little while to be sure. The alignment anyway.
The 6 rib pulley wouldn't bolt on, or did you not feel like bolting it on ? lol.

I did not realize t was the 8 rib till I was putting the belt on and had already turned in the old one for the core.
I guess I could go and get it if I really wanted, but it is fine for me.
