Assuming I do it with the positive ground system? Using the negative wire to "jump" the generator? I have not changed anything and do not know what works or doesn't work. I'm just fixing things here and there as I go along. Might even pull the generator just to rebuild it assuming the bearings might be stiff or at least clean things up a bit.
Always open to suggestions on what steps I need to do.
Was tempted to pull everything off the frame and start fresh, BUT I want to get it running as is so I can get the feel on how the truck handles, especially when I am so used to our everyday "luxury" vehicles. Yes, I worked on farms with none of that and do miss it.
My only worry is if I pull everything off that it would take longer to get back together if I ever finish it. Hear too many stories of people giving up.
