Battery time
Yea I think it'll be Motorcrafts going in it, the Odyssey is super nice, but nearly double the price. I definitely appreciate the advice 01 7.3 F250 4" Diamond Eye exhaust "Tymar" Intake EGT, Trans Temp, Boost- Bearded7point3pilot

Battery time
Damn, if only there was money for a pair of those nice lithium batteries. I've heard Motorcraft were good, but I'm glad I heard about the Sears batteries. Saves me a trip 01 7.3 F250 4" Diamond Eye exhaust "Tymar" Intake EGT, Trans Temp, Boost- Bearded7point3pilot

Battery time
What's everyone running? I've heard Optima red tops, or Sears diehard platinum, which is manufactured by Odyssey. I'm gonna go check Sears tomorrow, but I can get a really good deal on the red tops. Just looking for opinions? Or another suggestion as well.- Bearded7point3pilot

Serpentine belt
Na single alt, I was just confused about the whole "cold weather package" option. Nonetheless, it's fixed now, I was able to be able to decipher enough of the number on the belt. The squeak was driving me nuts. Odds are the belt would have lasted another 50K though. I was just annoyed with it...- Bearded7point3pilot

Well, that would suck. I can't even imagine that conversation with the parts counter 01 7.3 F250 4" Diamond Eye exhaust "Tymar" Intake EGT, Trans Temp, Boost- Bearded7point3pilot

Serpentine belt
Every parts store I called, advanced, auto zone, and Oreillys all gave a "cold weather option". That's what tripped me out, I had never heard any different until I called the parts store- Bearded7point3pilot

Serpentine belt
That's what I assumed too, I thought it may be a clearance issue. Just repeating what the guy at the parts store said. That's why I asked here- Bearded7point3pilot

Serpentine belt
Ok, so it's time for a new belt, and I have 2 options to choose from. Cold weather package, and without cold weather. I live in NC so the block heater has never been used (since I've owned the truck). Does anyone know the actual difference in the 2? Could I run the regular belt? Or is the cold...- Bearded7point3pilot

Alternator trouble
Ok, well if it's a situation where I have duals would it be kosher to just change the one? I figured dual alts was more of an ambulance type of deal. I'll take a look regardless- Bearded7point3pilot

Alternator trouble
I just can't understand why the battery light goes OFF when the alt is unplugged. It should be drawing voltage bad at that point I would assume 01 7.3 F250 4" Diamond Eye exhaust "Tymar" Intake EGT, Trans Temp, Boost- Bearded7point3pilot

Alternator trouble
Battery light keeps popping up, and goes away. Fiddled with the connection on the alternator and when unplugged the light goes off. I'm 99.9% sure it's an alt issue, I'm just wondering if there is more than one alternator and the light is going off because the second one is picking up the load...- Bearded7point3pilot
