Thanks for posting this video. My old voltage regulator was wired with spliced wires and had the incorrect wires going to it. Your video helped me find the correct wires in the correct order.

My 67 c10 battery has been draining out since i bought it, I have to disconnect the ground cable on the battery to keep it from draining. Any advise?
@rusticridesgarage7905 Жыл бұрын
You have a current draw somewhere. You can have someone hold a meter to the battery and then start pulling fuses. When the voltage drops, you've found the circuit with the draw. Then just start tracing out wires for that circuit. Bad trailer light hook ups can cause an amp draw. That's what it was on both of my trucks that had that issue.

I got rid of my voltage regulator due to my battery exploding when the regulator decided to over charge 🙄💣💥

Whats the blue wire for ? . I had done this years ago with my 68 c10 stepside . I saved the voltage regulator plug due to the jumper wire i had incorporated in it . An an old timer did this conversion for me .. idk y he jumped a wire from the brown to the blue .. do u?

Hey so im doin my 69 k10 regulator bypass. And your video helped me a lot. Had a question. The 10 awg wire that youve fused...can i remove that wire..by the looks of it..the original wiring is Tee'd off. Would it be safe to do so? Anorher one..the amp meter has two 12 awg wires ran and end by the battery. Was wondering what your set up is like. thank you bud

Is the spline size the same for later models? I have a 69 c20 and wondering if an 80ish will fit the spline. My wiper came off mid shower on the 405 so cal. No fun!

Could you explain more clearly what wires can be deleted and what wires are necessary. Will connecting the brown and red wires keep the “idiot” light and amp meter working?

Where is the brown wire coming from? Battery gauge? Where did you end up connecting it.?
@rusticridesgarage79053 жыл бұрын
Brown wire just goes into the distribution block on your firewall. I'll have to dig around and find my schematics to trace it out past that. Inside the motor bay, it connects to the smaller "sense" wire coming off of your new alternator connector.
@69butternut.3 жыл бұрын
Brown wire comes from position 4 on the connector to the original regulator. They go F-2-3-4. Position 4 is the Alternator Indicator light on your dash, often referred to as a 'dummy' light and indicates to the person operating the vehicle that the original charging system is not working as it should.
@69butternut.3 жыл бұрын
I think the alternator indicator light will work by having close to zero volts across it under normal conditions i.e 12-14V on both terminals. If the alternator or external regulator in this case should stop working then you won't get 12-14V from it on the brown wire and so there will be a voltage difference on the two terminals of the lamp. This will cause a current to flow through the lamp due the voltage difference and illuminate it.

Did u delete the blue wire? Di you happen to find out what size fuse you need for the new fuse block?
@rusticridesgarage79053 жыл бұрын
Yes, the blue wire gets deleted. It originally ran from the voltage regulator to the old style alternator. I have not figured out the size of fuse needed. I can't seem to find any literature or schematics that state what the amp rating was/is on the old fusible link that everything used to run through. Temporarily, I've just run it back to the link, located on the passenger side fender.
