Default Problem Fixed

Hey guys I posted a thread a few days about that my alternator wasn't charging.I found that the problem was that the cam shaft positioner wire that had the plug that was by the fan was unplugged.I had only drove the truck for a few days and I guess that the truck was only running off the battery.Also the a/c started working imagine that.I had changed the alternator no luck,changed the alternator off a wrecked D350 that the cops t-boned me in still no luck.Had the alternator checked it was good so I put it back on.I took it to my cousin who can make a lawn mower fly and he said it was the computer so I took the computer off my wrecked truck swapped it out because I had just bought one for it before it got totaled out still no luck.So I took the computer back off took it to napa and sent it off to be fixed and they said that they couldn't fix it.I got online and found a company in Texas that sold computers an ordered one got and still no charge.So today I got to fiddling around trying to figure out what the heck was the problem and I seen a wire hanging down and traced it to the cam shaft positioner, plugged the wire back up and everything is working fine.So all I can say is sometimes the problem is right in front of you if you look hard enough.Thanks guys for all your advice on my problem.
