Well, had another booboo with the Ram...drove it around town a few times after we put the new alternator on...ran like a dream...drove it up to get our Christmas tree...ran like a dream...parked it in the parking space at the tree farm...went to move it to wait for our tree, started like a dream...turned it off and went to crank it back up...no go....
Jumped it off...ran like a dream all the way home with the headlights on...nearly 20 miles...got to the inlaws house to drop off their tree and it wouldnt start up again...
Took the battery out and got it tested...it only tested at 10.25 volts (?) and the tster computer was flashing bad battery replace now!!!....lol....anyways, I bet that bad battery burned up my old alternator...

Like i said i've learned from the same mistakes, now i change both even if the batt is not that old. When i change antifreeze i change the thermostat it never fails to stick closed a day or two after you change antifreeze.

I did NOT do this today; about a week ago, just haven't had a chance to post it up. It is the brace underneath, just past the transmission; not sure what it's there for but only had 1/4" of clearance between it and my tailpipes; looks as though it could possibily hit the pipes but NO marks on 'em. However it was full of gravel, guess it could have made noise; never noticed though.
Anyhow replace it with this powdercoated one, I like a LOT BETTER! And I went from 1/4" clearance to 3/4" clearance.
Here is the old one..... FULL OF GRAVEL....?????
And what the new HEAVY DUTY brace looks like! I love it!!!

That looks pretty cool Jim, but it looks like it hangs down further than stock or is it just the pics??
I didn't do anything today, but I've been a modding fool here lately. I just installed some interior panel from an 08 charger (went from gray to black), finally got rid of the hood prop and added shocks, got my blastin bobs on order, got my BT catch can on order, and working on a few more items...
