It looks like might be headed towards installing an external voltage regulator. This is exactly why I don't want to get rid of my 98 12v. It's just easier to work on. This 99 is a pain in the ass.

Ok so I followed his instructions all the way to the end where I test to see if I have 12v coming out if the alternator by way of checking the back of the pins on the PCM connectors. Set to check voltage my voltmeter reads 0.06volts. so am I to believe that my wiring is bad from the alternator...

Ok so I installed a new battery temperature sensor as well as the 140amp alternator fuse. I'm still having the same issue. It still says about 12v on the gauge and my voltmeter says the brand new alternator is putting out the same 12.36v while the truck is running. The volt gauge inside the...

I'm on my way to get the new sensor and a new fuse for the alternator even though it's not busted from what I can see. I'll check back in with you guys when I install the new parts. Be about an hour.

The book says the sensor should show 9k to 11k ohms. My ohm meter set on the 2000k setting is reading 6-7k. I think the sensor is bad. What say you.

Is there any way I can bypass that sensor?

No I have not replaced that. What would that do?

Good morning everyone. Ok so I boughy a 99 24v 2500 at an auction not knowing it had electrical issues because whoever put it in the auction put little squares of electrical tape over the idiot lights in the instrument cluster unbeknownst to me. For the life of me I cannot figure out why the...

ok guys lets bring it down a little. it was not my intension to start i ******* match. so lets get back to the issue at hand ok. now ive finally made it home last tuesday and have been sick with tonsilitus and i havent been under the truck yet, but on our way back home we stopped in Mt. Shasta...

ok, wait are you guys suggesting now that I dont change the sensors or solenoids? the only thing I dont have on its way to my house is the aftermarket solenoid I was going to purchase from suncoast. so whats the deal guys? It sounds like your changing your minds or something. :( Oh and...

No i havent been able to get into the transmission to check voltages yet as im still on vacation. were leaving tomorrow morning and when we get home(14hrs later) i'll start tearing into it. And by the time i get there is should have some new parts waiting for me when I get there. I think im gonna go...

alright cool i'll check all those things out you guys said and I'll see if it fixes the problem. thanks again and i'll let you know what happens next. How expensive is a gov pressure solenoid and a transducer?

Well guys I plugged in the code reader and all it came up with is: P0622 - Alternator Field "F" control circuit malfunction. What that means im not sure but I did get my alternator tested and it tested bad. Whether or not that has anything to do with my transmission not shifting correctly I dont...

Alright, B. I do some work on it tomorrow. I'll let you guys know what i find out tomorrow, thanks again, MNeuharth

Alright, I'll do some checking tomorrow as the parts stores are closed right now. Would it be a good idea to just buy a new throttle position sensor? you know proccess of elimination usually works and $200 bucks isnt alot of money for me spend right now. Oh and i should also mention that im not...
