What did you do to your Ranger today?

[JACKSMYDOG]

I had my alternator submerged for 15 minutes, while the truck was running and using the winch. The Front Ford emblem was under water.... mud. Wet mud/water coming in the doors.

Never even spuddered.

It was a crawl in mud bug, I wouldn't have put water that close to my intake at pace.

Is the alternator water resistant? I noticed that also that it is way too low in the engine bay.

No it is not and other members on here have replaced theirs from frying them from ether mud or water.

Next time you have the hood open look where your alternator is. That’s the weak link in our Rangers

Fully aware! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Bronco 2.3 is coming with a sealed unit that works on our trucks!

Eventually some aftermarket vendor will make a sealed unit for our trucks. Their’s one for Toyota’s over in Australia

You had me excited for a minute then I realized Amber was your trucks name and I clicked the link. ?

I think Elvis had a song about you - "...ain't nothing but a hound dog..."?

That's hilarious!

It's turning into another one of my adventures because things are not going as they should. Since I have one of the first trucks off the line it seems like they used whatever was available to put it together. So far, in the six tie downs in my bed, I've run across four different sized torx heads for the same bolts and this is made all the more difficult to realize since they did such a good job with my factory spray-in bedliner that they filled every bolt/screw head to the top with that stuff.

BuiltRight says 10 minutes a side and I've been out here for two hours and I'm half way through the second side.

Wow that sucks Tony. Hope you get it straightened out without any more surprises. Sounds like it would've been easier to get Amber some real racks.

What's wrong with that?

It's finished now. Time to put in all the clamps for my shovel, jack, flags and whatnot.

Side note, if trucks came with a "real" rack, I'd never get any sleep.

I'd be living in mine!
