just did my KDP and it was on its way out! got it all back together and now GEN light it on and charging system reads about 9. does the speed sensor on the crank have anything to do with this if the gap is not right?

 

yes the alternator will not charge if the sensor is not functioning properly. i had a problem with mine until i guess i finally got it in the right range. or could have oil or grease build up on the sensor. these are both the issues i have run into so far

 

pull the sensor and clean it bro , startin fluid, misty or brake cleaner will all work

 

thaks alot as i though it might be the culprit. what are the gap specks? i just used a match book folded in half. pretty redneck i know!!!! i would asume the sensor it too far away.

 

unfold it once... i saw the specs on colt45's thread and they dont leave much room for variation. its supposed to be pretty close

 

if the little nuts on the back of the altenator arent on tight it wont charge that what mine was doing

 

i used the top off from a parts box. no folding required and the trucks been going great for 40k miles
