After working my magic on the truck. I started it up yesterday. Its was just like normal. I then decided to upgrade the alternator. The stock alternator should be over 20 years. Doesn't exist in the market and I'm not satisfied with the Amperes. So i got me one from a sequoia. 130A. FITTED IT WITH CRAZY BRACKET. loaded the truck with everything turned on except ac cuz it lost gas during the fire. And it really handled well. Though cant tell if its cuz of the 100A 5 year old obsolete deep cycle battery Im using.

Idle voltage 14.2 full load without ac. Even with a vacuum cleaner and portable tyre pump running. Full beams / rear defrost, wipers and floodlights. Climate control fans all high. Everything electrical except the horn was powered and i got 14.14v. Not bad at all

So the fan shroud was damaged and shroud is kind of important for cooling. 2days ago I visited warri to get a new alternator(used) for a tundra also a fan clutch blade. The cost of items there were so alarm. A small rubber tube they'll say 9k, i wonder why the price of items were over inflated. Even the fan shroud was tagged at 10k for something with a crack and wasn't sure if it would fit,gave up on that one.

So back home I've been driving around like usual and decided to visit the junk yard where cars are butched like meat. My uncle sold his jaguar xjr to be butchered just cuz it experiences hard start. I actually got a fan shroud for just 1500 In a good condition. Just an inch shorter. I was so excited. Took it home and began my science. Working on it to fit.

Took me time but I fixed it right

Wish i did. Not the kind of junkyard you see in TV where they pile on car on top another. They just cut cars for the metal then put the accessories at the corner. Car seat, steering wheel, levers, headlamps even complete engine

Is the juckyard owode market?

hello OP, i just read your experience and it made me wonder, if i increase my AC fan, does it affect the load on my battery and if the battery is weak, can it lead to the car shutting down/tripping off (as in my own experience)
