It's the P terminal on the alternator that runs the tach. I'll only be running the tach off of one alternator, not both, so I won't be crossing the streams like in Ghostbusters.

Yes, diesel trucks use the alternator to run the tach, so you have to have the correct pulley on the alternator so the RPMs run correctly. I bought the correct pulleys for the alternators. I could have only bought the correct pulley for the main alternator, but chose to get it for both...

Hmmm..... I'm not sure that's rectifying in my brain (pun maybe intended), at least the amperage part. I doubt 2 production alternators on a dual alternator setup are capable of outputting the exact same amperage, not to mention if one fails and gets replaced with an aftermarket replacement...

Yeah, they're the same size pulleys. I'm not following how they could be fighting each other if they weren't spinning the same speed.....

Finally have the accessory drive figured out. I tried a few belt sizes to figure out the length that would work with my unique setup. What’s unique is I have 2 AD244 alternators, I have the pulleys to get the alternator RPM correct for the 1994 tach and I have the AC compressor spaced up 6mm so...

I injured my ankle so I haven’t been able to get anything done for a bit, but today I was finally able to get back out to the barn. I got the fender vent sheet metal welded into the driver side fender. I’m happy with how it turned out.

That stuff could definitely do the trick, I watched them put the windshield in the Escalade last fall. I was thinking I’d have a lot leftover with nothing to use the remainder on. The Great Stuff is a good idea…..that’s something I’d use, and it certainly is tough. And if it doesn’t work, I can...

Ok, I’ll look into it. We use VHB tape at work to permanently install the lenses to our light cartridges and it’s also really strong stuff. You have to damage the lens to remove it from the aluminum casting.

I took some time off for a trip, but got back at it today. I was thinking some more about how to make the hole and how to fasten the scoop to the fender and came up with what I think is a better idea: rather than make a trim ring that sandwiched the scoop to the fender, I decided to make a more...

Yeah, that’s why I didn’t want to wrap the headers, but since this is stainless, I’m hoping it will hold up.

I did. That was in the earlier post before I painted it.

Downpipe is painted and wrapped. And now installed. So once again, the exhaust is done, for real this time…….except for the tip, which I will do after the bed is installed.

Probably so.

Oh no…I haven’t used a stock air box in years. I’m going to do another airbox like I did last time for this truck, but I think it’s going to have a different filter configuration this time. Post in thread '1994 K3500 extended cab dually'...

Got the passenger side heat extractor in. I did a quick coat of black paint to make it look more representative of the finished product. I’m quite pleased. It’s going to need just a thin skim coat to make the body work perfect, so that also makes me happy. Once I have the fender mods done, I am...

Yeah, plastic. I was thinking I’d make a mounting ring with hidden studs to retain it to the fender.

I appreciate the real world experience. I think I’ll be fine with what I’m envisioning. The chamber isn’t sealed, so water can drain. I will also be running an Outerwears sock on the filter that also keeps water out of the filter. I’m just trying to give fresh air an easier path to the vicinity...

I’m stoked. I think it’s going to be pretty rad, both functionally and aesthetically.
