Re: 89 mid cabin alternator and belt size

thanks guys
serial number is 76868
I bought a DB Electric from Amazon
Looks like it will work, I'll Let you know if it doesn't.
As for the belt, that crusader number gives me a spec of 49 1/8" which is too long.
I will use the old belt as a guide.

Re: 89 mid cabin paralleling solenoid

can't say if it was burned up
I did not see all the parts when it was broken down
the parts I did see suffered from major corrosion

I am now thinking both engine problems at the same time was just a wierd coincidence

Re: 89 mid cabin fuel starve

Re: 89 mid cabin paralleling solenoid

That's my understanding as well
But something is not right
Both batteries were being drained
I think the dc/dc charger is the culprit
But why both batteries?
