My alternater locked up yesterday wilst tooling down the road, smoking and screaming, under the hood of my p30. Only a mile and a half from home, I cut the $45 cummins belt I just purchased last week, and crippled home.
I know that the alt is chevy of some sort, but if I go to advance or napa, they look at me like I have some sort of alien space ship. Their computers dont have the elusive p30, or dont go back far enough for the 79 chevy one ton.
I am stuck in new orleans, needing my injecter pump rebuilt or replaced and the alternator replaced.
And thanks to this sight, and a thread I read about the crank end play on the bt, I now understand why the belt on the front doesnt touch anything, but is always showing that something is eating away at the side near the engine.
In addition to the clutch just not letting me get it in gear when the engine is warm!!!
Just had a shop in ohio put a new clutch and tranny in, they found the throwout torn to shreds, and had no idea why!!
So, anyone know what I ask for at the parts place for a new alternator? I would like one with a little more juice and of course cheap as possible for now.
Ps. I havent checked but will the oil pan come off easy in my p30 frito bt?
