A few more clues.

Battery charged engine off terminal voltage is 12.3 volts. It barely jumps to 13 with engine on. Guage inside truck reads 14, alterntor output is 14, firewall connector block...

Every few weeks the truck won’t start, battery is low. After recharging battery it checks out fine and then slowly dies.

Alternator fails on vehicle, but passes bench test. Bad voltage...

If it doesn't fit with the tensioner fully released (meaning you have torqued it out of the way), either you don't have the belt routed correctly or it's not long enough. Did you compare your old...

I wonder if you vehicle is not equipped with OBD-I since you live in Norway. Check engine lights and OBD-I stuff originally was a North American thing that eventually was agreed upon and roll out...

What could it be? Maybe... Relay, Solenoid, Wire, Switch, Terminal, User Error.

Intermittent errors are some of the more difficult ones to track. After warming it up, I’d get a volt meter to the...

The internet is full of opinions on this subject. I’m in the drive it now camp. Unless you can't take the cold, drive it easy while it warms up.

Reasoning behind this opinion... oil is key to...

My vote is don't hold off on thinking is just a thermostat. At t-stat should stay closed and slowly open as the engine warms up. It's not designed to open and close repeatedly.

If your temp...

I too am a big proponent of good functioning water pumps. I'll take rich and cool over lean and hot any day. Hot is probably the worst thing for an engine.

Running lean will cause heat and...

Hate to say it, but that is what mine started doing before the tranny puked. The filter flush might fix it or finish it. Sometimes servicing an outgoing tranny is the last nail in the coffin.

Hope this doesn't get me in trouble, but it has been discussed at length over here:

Next to what motor oil works best, this topic is very popular on the various auto forums. Typically everyone agrees that distributing oil in the engine is the key objective. What’s not universally...

Stop buy any Autozone or Advance Auto and let them run a quick test on your battery and charging system. They don't charge anything for this service and you are under no obligation to buy anything...

Man taking this thing off looks like I'm just asking for trouble. I don’t see anything worth getting a wrench on. Worst case would be drill and tap if I destroy it.

Amazon for $19 is kind of hard to beat:

So there is more than one block drain? I recall seeing a freeze plug that I stuck a heater in and a drain on the driver’s side. The only thing I recall seeing on the passenger side was the knock...

So this ODB ‘scanner’ I bought years ago is just a paper clip in disguise???

I've been chasing down a similar problems. Cold hose indicates no hot fluid which means fluid is not flowing… why no flow is the big question? Could be a plugged core (easy fix, just back...

I've tried stop leak and I tried JB weld on a radiator and neither one worked.

Advance Auto has online coupons for typically around 40% off if you have one of those near you.

Okay, all of this is not that hard to understand.

First off brain cells like all cells are made up atoms. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Electrons are mobile and can...

LOL... it's all relative... plus, minus and ground are just references. Besides electrons are negative so the surplus is at anode (negative terminal) flowing toward the cathode (positive terminal). ...

For what it’s worth, mine ended up being the metal brake line along the rail rusting through and leaking. Front chamber was bone dry and real chamber fairly low. Refilled and pressed the pedal, saw...
