ok ill try that then

 

My buddies truck did something similar, volt meter was going crazy, and check engine light indicated charge system low voltage. Turned out the main charge wire had come loose from the alternator. It would have taken a long time to figure out if we had not checked the code.

 

well i went and took a peak under the hood found a lose ground and that solved it, thanks for help everyone.

 

Don't thank everyone, we didn't do anything. Thank the "Pod Boy."

 

well you got a point, but you get what i meant.

 

No problem, happy to help. I totally forgot about the "pod boy" thing till you said that. Figured it Dave would have change it back by now

 

Aren't you still the pod boy?

 

I suppose I am still the pod boy. Too hot right now to do fiberglassing, but this fall, I will be pod boy again.

 

Eventually, I'll get the pod you made me installed. Sorry I haven't been able to do it yet, been real busy. It's nice to look at though.

 

I have had some interest, but I am afraid to make more till i KNOW they fit good. The others I made have not given me much feeback either......Plus its too hot to make more right now..... You have till fall to get it installed
