[QUOTE="Tombstones81, post: 1043526, member: 74875"] Not sure if the Battery Light throws a code. No other lights on tho. & its the alternator. Just went down for distilled water & the battery was draining otw back. Fluid was just covering the plates in the battery & took a good amount to top it off. Will jump it with the wifes truck in a bit, but since the plates were fully submerged, im saying def the alternator. Just going to ride the motorcycle a good ways to a used parts warehouse & get a used alternator for just $35. I dont have $140+ to get a Reman from NAPA or $250+ for a new one atm & need my truck fixed Tomorrow! Already bought used alternators from there before without issues. For my old 02 Grand am & only replaced it twice in the span of 11 years & 100,000 miles. & a transmission from there that lasted the life of the car too. Now to watch a video on removal & try to get it out tonight, to save time tomorrow. At least it will be easier then my 2.2 grand am!!! (was on the passenger side & a B!tch!) (edit) Now THATS ridiculously easy! [MEDIA=youtube]ufTWPwtnthk[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
