[toyman80]

so i flopped my right wheeling about three weeks ago and ive been having super weird electrical issues.  my lights died then my alt took a .

ive replaced the alt checked the wiring and it still is having issues charging.

if its jumped with my dd which is a 98 blazer then it runs just fine.  but when i unhook it it just coughs and dies when i turn on the lights or radio ie anything electrical.

i jumped it today and it ran for abotu 30 min but then just completely died. 

if anyone can help me itd be most appreciative.  thnks

?  U flopped the truck right,   have U checked the battery  a plate could of broke in the battery  or crack.

[toyman80 [OP]]

hmmm would that cause me to have the electrical issues im having

[79coyotefrg]

yes it would, also where did you get the alternator??  if from Autozone,  you probably need another one

[brockbuilt85]

autozone alternators are poo

[toyman80 [OP]]

nope its a tonys auto parts.   their lifetime warranties alts and are good as if not better then napa alts.

hmm so if a plate broke or cracked what would i do buy a new batt?

change your voltage regulator..   

[jimbo74]

have the alternator tested... never heard of tony's alternators... but HALF of the remanufactured alternators are sometimes they work, sometimes they don't ... maybe time for warranty replacement...

check the external voltage regulator as well

[toyman80 [OP]]

it was tested and it worked though i havent replaced the reg. i got a guy coming to look at it tonight sooo it might be sold. anyone know of any 1st gens in my area lol
